Senate Republicans block equal pay measure
- Tweet
- Share this
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Senate Republicans on Tuesday blocked an election-year bid by Democrats for legislation they said would discourage employers from paying women less than they pay men for the same job.
In a party-line vote, Democrats, who control the Senate, failed to muster the 60 votes needed to advance the legislation backed by President Barack Obama.
The issue is part of an election-year effort by Obama and congressional Democrats to woo women voters ahead of November 6 elections.
Public opinion polls show Obama has more backing among women than Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. With some recent surveys showing Romney improving his support among women, Democrats have aggressively sought to maintain their advantage by advertising what they call a Republican "war on women."
The party-line vote on the Paycheck Fairness Act will help Democrats deliver that message in campaign speeches and advertising.
Critics said the law would spur a rash of lawsuits against employers at a time when the U.S. economy is struggling to create jobs. But backers point to data showing that women on average are paid 77 cents for every dollar earned by men doing the same job.
"When women get a mortgage, we don't get a 23 percent discount," said Democratic Senator Barbara Mikulski, the bill's chief sponsor. "When we go to buy food, we don't get a 23 percent discount. When we go to pay our utility bills, they don't say you're paid less; we're going to give you a discount. No. We get charged the same and often more for what we do, but we're paid less."
The bill aims to close the pay gap between men and women by requiring employers to show that any pay disparities are based on work-related factors such as education, training and experience. It also would update current fair pay laws by barring employers from punishing workers who share information about their pay.
Democrats say the law builds on a 2009 law signed by Obama that made it easier for women to sue for pay discrimination.
That measure is known as the "Lilly Ledbetter Law" after a Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. worker who had lost her claim of pay discrimination before the U.S. Supreme Court because she waited too long to sue. Ledbetter was in the Senate on Tuesday as this latest pay equity measure faltered.
Republican critics said the legislation, which would allow women to pursue punitive damages in wage discrimination cases, would encourage too many frivolous court cases.
"Unfortunately, the only winners under this legislation would be trial lawyers, giving them a windfall," said Republican Senator Dean Heller. "This legislation opens the door to frivolous lawsuits which already cost our economy billions of dollars every year."

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

This is out of Hindu press:
The RIC meetings usually cover a range of political and economic issues,
from terrorism and the United Nations and world financial reform to
regional problems like Afghanistan, Iran and North Korea. But this
ambitious agenda is belied by the lack of coherence within the trilateral.
The Indians and the Chinese have resisted Russian attempts to give the
forum an overtly "political" character for fear of complicating their
relations with America. There are also structural weaknesses stemming from
an imbalance between India's economic and political ties with Russia and
China. Sino-Indian relations have been fraught in recent years, even
though trade and investment between them has boomed. As for Russia,
India's political relationship remains strong even though bilateral
economic ballast is lacking.
The fact that BRIC - the Brazil, Russia, India, China forum - now meets at
the summit level has robbed the RIC of some of its sheen, particularly on
international economic issues. But Indian officials believe the anchoring
of the trilateral in the Asian strategic space gives it a certain
geopolitical salience for the region that the territorially diffused BRIC

They have been taking place every year for three years (i believe,
will check), and this was scheduled ahead of time. Obviously Russia
and China were aware that this meeting would follow the big meetings
in Korea and Japan , but i don't think we'd be wise to suggest a
connection. The trilateral framework has been under way as yet another
multiateral discussion forum. The big topics, needless to say,
remained the pressing global issues.
As for India's claims on Myanmar, the junta moved on its own speed.
Yes, India has been more pragmatic and willing to engage, as natural
being a neighbor, and knowing that China benefits and India loses if
interests in Burma are simply abandoned. India was never going to
adopt the West's stance on Burma, and the US began re-engaging with
in Burma bilaterally back in 2009 (however ineffectually), so India
can't even claim to have convinced the Americans that this was a good
As for China and Russia, a couple of points. First, China needs to
maintain its momentum, it doesn't want things to turn against it based
on the "more assertive" mantra. It has an interest in de-emphasizing
disagreements with India (esp over Pakistan) to try to avoid hastening
US-Indian cooperation. But obviously these two rarely get along and
don't have bright prospects. The Chinese interest therefore is to
simply talk with the Indians.
China's relationship with Russia has been smoother, and they have
several reasons to align on international matters. But there is
equally lack of trust here -- in particular, China is not thrilled
about Russia's modernization program and warming with the US. The
Russo-US detente of sorts has happened as Sino-US relations have
become much more fractious. And Russia and India have the ability to
function very cooperatively (on Afghanistan and on arms), which
doesn't benefit China.
In short, China can't really trust either, but is at a much better
place with Russia. India also leans towards Russia. Russia can use
both of them, namely for business, and as alternate options to the US
when needed.

The Indian, Chinese and Russian foreign ministers are holding a

I'll kick it off with the Indians.
India just came off a big warm, fuzzy love fest with the Americans
during the Obama visit. India-US war games also concluded today in
Alaska. India is trying to show that it has options when it comes
to its foreign policy partners (and picked out two big US rivals -
China and Russia - to make that point.) It's also trying to brush
off US criticism and lecturing over India's responsibility in
global affairs by showing Indian autonomy in foreign policy-making
can yield success. For example, India is trying to take credit for
Suu Kyi's release in Myanmar. Following Obama's criticism of India
on Myanmar when he talked about UNSC responsibility, Indian
editorials are quoting Indian officials as saying that the US
(particularly Hillary Clinton) is finally seeing what India was
talking about when they said you can't just push Myanmar in all or
nothing deals. That it takes slow and gradual pressure to see
The Indians are also trying to assert themselves vis-a-vis a more
assertive China. External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna in his
meeting with China's Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi on the sidelines
of the Russia-India-China summit said just as India has been
sensitive to Chinese concerns over the Tibet Autonomous Region and
Taiwan, Beijing too should be mindful of Indian sensitivities on
Jammu and Kashmir. This follows all the hubbub over the past
couple months on Chinese activity in Kashmir and support for
Pakistan. Nepal didn't come up in this statement, but that is
also very much on India's mind in trying to remind China to
respect the Himalayan boundary.

World greets 'doomsday' with pinch of salt: 'Yes, we're still alive'
Published on Dec 21, 2012 4:18 PM
SYDNEY (AFP) - While doomsayers hunkered down to await the coming apocalypse, others took a more light-hearted view on Friday of a Mayan prophecy of the world's end and marked the event with stunts and parties.
Interpretations of the Mayan "Long Count" calendar point to an era of more than 5,000 years coming to a halt on Dec 21, although in Sydney it was business as usual.
With Australia one of the first countries to see the sun rise on what is supposed to be the end of days, Tourism Australia's Facebook page was bombarded with posts asking if anyone survived Down Under.

I have definitely been reading more this year. It started with the Goldfinch by Donna Tartt, (what a joy) and at the moment I am wading through a weighty 973 pager (the second in the Outlander Series by Diana Gabaldon) which is dragging a fair bit as I've also got another couple of reads on the go. I've tried to stop bingeing on an american drama EVERY night and in between other things I am working on I am reading for a more substantial amount of time every other evening. It's working pretty well for us, Gwyn makes music and I get lost in a book.
I opened a goodreads account earlier in the month and am adding books all the time. Are you on goodreads? If you'd like to connect I'm Amy Walters (Brighton, UK) - In the past I've been adding every book recommendation to my amazon wish list but that whole thing has just got way out of hand and I'm hoping this will be a better record.
The best non-fiction book I've read recently is 'The Compound Effect' by Darren Hardy.
The best fiction book I've read recently is: 'The Signature of all things' by Elizabeth Gilbert. Did you check out her interview on Oprah's Super Soul Sunday?

Boot Windows Vista In Four Seconds
Re:Heh... It's using the Hibernate functionality.. (326 comments)
But surely it is only snapshotting up to the Windows Log In screen?
By far the longest portion of the boot time is the post login shenanigans - waiting for the desktop to appear, and then starting up your usual applications.
In the meantime I've lost the time I use to grab a drink in the morning at work, and made shutdown far longer (and it takes long enough already).

We enjoyed our stay immensely! The house had plenty of space for all including our 2 dogs and we especially loved the fireplaces and the gas stove in the kitchen which created a nice warm feeling. The 2 full bathrooms really should be pictured on the website because they were very attractively decorated and cozy. We were not sure what to expect there but were pleasantly surprised. Unfortunately there really was not much snow due to a warm snap but the skiers were able to get in a half day at Bromley while the non-skiers spent time at the Equinox Spa along with lunch and shopping in town at the many outlets.
We could have used a few more pots, pans and utensils since we are a family that does a lot of cooking but overall we had a great time and would recommend!
Great house!
I have rented this house few times before. This house is spectacular. Anyone who is looking for a place to stay that has plenty of room and that is warm and inviting … this is the place!
The house is very cozy, warm, and has a wonderful living room/dining room area where everyone can gather and enjoy the fireplace. Everything was well organized. Wonderful property!
We will definitely be back - Vermont is breath taking.
Rustic Get-a-way
The home was beautiful and perfectly rustic! It fits perfectly in the backdrop of a Vermont winter. The house is a short walk to restaurants, shopping or whatever is needed for a weekend get-away. The house has plenty of room and a quaint wood burning stove kept the house warm and cozy. If you ski or snowboard it's a 20 minute drive to Stratton MT or a 5 minute drive to family friendly Bromley MT. My family and I enjoyed our stay in VT and the house was the perfect compliment. We all agreed we would return to rent this house!

New image of 'GI Joe: Retaliation' shows Bruce Willis as Joe Colton
Bruce Willis has stopped aging, this image proves.
Dwayne Johnson is on a franchise stealing spree. After successfully stealing the 'Journey' franchise from Brendan Fraser and delivering a superhit, he's now going to steal the focus of the 'GI Joe' franchise from Channing Tatum to himself with the upcoming 'GI Joe: Retaliation'. But he may have competition from Bruce Willis, who's also being heavily marketed as the guy who plays the original Joe. And this new image shows off his character once again.
Is it just me or does it look like Channing Tatum is going to die early on in the movie? I mean he never really appears after the first few seconds of the trailer and that would be kind of a sad way to go. But hey, it would be better than Marlon Wayan, Sienna Miller and Rachel Nichols who are among most of the original cast who never got invited back and their characters were basically written off. Bruce Willis looks bad-ass here though as usual, and he's an actor who doesn't seem to age at all.
Do you agree?

"One of the most complex and exciting stand-ups working in America today. Like an idealistic hippy stuck inside the body of a testosterone-pumped US marine. He's been likened to late great US comedians such as Bill Hicks and Sam Kinison, but although he exhibits a similar brand of furious indignation, his observations and revelations are entirely his own. His angry, insightful act is an absorbing battle between his raw libertarian instincts and his refined liberal sensibilities."
--William Cook, The Guardian
A standup comedian for more than 20 years, Joe Rogan sells out theaters internationally with his inquisitive and intense comedic style.
Since 2002, Rogan has provided color commentary for the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) on Pay Per View, Spike Television and now on FOX. Rogan's passion for MMA began with martial arts practice at the age of 13. Within two years, the Boston native earned a black belt and soon became the Massachusetts full contact Tae Kwon Do champion four consecutive years. By the age of 19, Rogan won the US Open Tae Kwon Do Championship and as lightweight champion went on to beat both the middle and heavyweight title-holders to obtain the Grand Championship.
Rogan hosted the high stakes game show "Fear Factor," on NBC in 2011/12 and previously for six seasons on the network from 2001-2006. Prior to "Fear Factor", Rogan played Joe Garrelli, the resident electrician on the hit NBC comedy series "NewsRadio."

I know it would be better to get a good soil test (will get around to it one of these days) but without one I occasionally mix in a little Ironite into the soil when I till.
"Nothing greens like Ironite" ? Green is good? Anyone use Ironite when growing their tomatoes? What has been your experience and conclusions? I have read both that Ironite has an excessive level of heavy metals and that this is yesterday's news, recent analysis of Ironite has yielded numbers that are not overly worrisome. Anyone know? Thanks,
Follow-Up Postings:
Chlorosis is generally a problem in alkaline soil and since soils up here in the northeast are mostly acid, I haven't seen a problem that requires chelated iron. Except on an occasional potted plant and on at least one rose which is prone to foliage difficulties. But my tomatoes have nice dark green foliage so see no reason to respond to a problem that doesn't exit. |

Gary, At risk of this turning into another "feed'm tons of nitrogen" thread, I'll comment anyway ... The only time I used Ironite was this year when I bought a few seedlings from a lady who grows her transplants for sale "organically." She makes her own starter mix in which she uses soil and other "natural" media. She has nice varieties, and she's a nice lady trying to do a good business out of a little cottage industry hoop house. But her tomato seedlings all have chlorosis and obvious nutrient problems ... purple veins, purple under leaves, etc. Okay ... I bought a small bottle of Ironite and dosed up the seedlings ... VOILA! It takes about three days to make them look like they came outta Eden. |

hoosiercherokee, I appreciate the input. Ya know, I didn't really start "feed 'em tons..." as an invitation to "let's you and him fight", but even the scientific method has as its most basic principle a review by the peers. It is by challenging a tenent that we learn if it can stand up to scrutiny and be considered 'true'. In any case, I learned a little something as a result of that post, so thanks everyone who contributed. Gary |

About the Change Management process
Article:HOWTO81872 | | | Created: 2012-11-05 | | | Updated: 2013-04-18 | | | Article URL http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO81872 |
The Change Management process ensures that standardized methods and procedures are used to handle all changes efficiently and promptly. The process minimizes the effect of any related incidents upon service. Using Change Management improves the reliability and responsiveness of IT services and processes, leading to a higher turnaround of changes. It also reduces rework and the duplication of effort. Standard or common change requests can be expedited. The use of automation rules enables customization without having to edit the workflow directly. The process includes the ability to define and use templates for quickly completing a change plan.
The Change Management process is initiated when someone requests a change.
The change manager who provides the initial approval of a change request also selects the change type. The change type determines the number of steps that the change implementation requires. It also determines the number of workers who must be involved in each step.
When a task is assigned to multiple workers, all the assignees must complete the task for the change request to advance to the next stage. The change manager can complete tasks on behalf of the task assignees by checking the Process View page. This option helps move the process forward if a task assignee is unavailable, on vacation, or otherwise unable to work the task.
check box on the change request'sSee About cascading relationships among process tickets.
The Change management process consists of the following states:
During the planning phase, the change manager can select one of two variations to tailor the process to the request: Standard or Emergency.
A standard plan change is commonly requested and performed, meaning that procedures, risk and cost are well-understood and CAB approval is not necessary. Essentially, the Planned state is skipped. For example, once a computer has become obsolete, it experiences a standard change of repurposing or disposal. A standard change is usually scheduled for a later time to coincide with maintenance windows or a release. Typically, an organization has a one-to-one mapping between standard plans and plan templates. This one-to-one mapping is so that if the Standard type is selected, the change manager can find the matching template, and load the plan details.
An emergency change cannot be scheduled for later. If it is designated as an emergency, then it should be implemented immediately following approval by the E-CAB. Like the Standard plan type, the plan details are not required before submission to the CAB.

Occupational Safety and Health Data Collection
And Injury Prevention Work Group
Bureau of Labor Standards
First Floor Training Room
June 16, 2004
Present: Bill Peabody, Chair (Maine Department of Labor), Brad Brown (Maine Bureau of Insurance), Brian Doe (Hannaford), Bill Gourde (sitting in for Stefanie LaRose, Cannon Cochran Management Services, Inc.), Matt Holbrook (sitting in for Gary Baxter, MEMIC), Jeff Levesque (Workers' Compensation Board), Pat Philbrook (Maine State Nurses Association), Kurtis Petersons (Summer Intern, Bureau of Labor Standards), John Rioux (Maine Department of Labor), and Leslie Walleigh (Workplace Health).
Absent: Gary Baxter (Maine Employers Mutual Insurance Company), Peter Doran (Maine Occupational Research Agenda), Denise Dumont (US HealthWorks), Vanessa Duquette (Maine Department of Labor), Saskia Janes (Maine Public Health Association), Kim Lim (Maine Department of Labor), Stefanie LaRose (Canon Cochran Management Services, Inc.), Steve Minkowsky (Workers' Compensation Board), Louise Morang (Maine Association of Occupational Nurses), Ralph Tucker (McTeague-Higbee), and Dave Wacker (Maine Department of Labor).
Chair Bill Peabody opened the seventh meeting of the Occupational Safety and Health Data Collection and Injury Prevention Work Group at 9:38 A.M.
Introduction of Members. Members and guests introduced themselves as there were a couple of absent members, who sent representatives.
Approval of Minutes of May 19, 2004. Before approval of the minutes, Leslie Walleigh asked for clarification regarding injury prevention and if that includes illness also. Mr. Peabody responded by saying that the Department of Labor includes illness.
Jeff Levesque made a motion to approve the minutes of May 19, 2004. John Rioux seconded the motion. Vote, unanimous, by regular work group members. The approved minutes will be posted to the Bureau of Labor Standards' website.
Update on MEMIC's Tracking of EDI's – Jeff Levesque. Mr. Levesque asked Matt Holbrook of MEMIC to explain tracking of EDI's. Mr. Holbrook stated that MEMIC keeps track of actual data sent by electronic transmission to Workers' Compensation. This also includes any changes. Originally, only lost time claims were filed, but now includes Medical Only (M.O.). Currently, Notice of Controversies (NOC's) are not filed electronically, but will be at a later date. Mr. Holbrook also said that once data is transmitted electronically, MEMIC receives a workers' compensation number; also, this is true of M.O.'s.
MEMIC has a flat file as defined by the Workers' Compensation Board, which consists of any new claims and any corrections to previously reported claims. This is in compliance with the IAIABC standards.
Mr. Levesque explained that Workers' Compensation does a query by report only. Any lost time or medical only claims go through Quality Control. Report Only cases are on file.
Mr. Holbrook explained that MEMIC gets acknowledgement from the Workers' Compensation Board (WCB) verifying receipt. MEMIC receives a text file with a workers' compensation number. Also, MEMIC receives another file, which explains where errors occur and the type. MEMIC and the Workers' Compensation Board have a good working relationship. Also, MEMIC has the bulk of claims in the State.
Mr. Levesque explained that there are lower penalties for reporting from MEMIC than other insurance carriers. Penalties usually fall on the employer.
Mr. Holbrook mentioned that MEMIC's subsidiary would be doing EDI's with the States of Vermont and Connecticut, starting July 1st.
Dirigo Update – Jeff Levesque. Mr. Levesque will gather the questions and send to Terry Hathaway, so she can e-mail them to the work group.
Self-employed's Study – Bill Peabody. Mr. Peabody explained that the Maine Bureau of Labor Standards was approached by a group studying construction industries at Harvard regarding the misclassification of workers as self-employed's. Kuris Petersons, the summer intern with the Maine Bureau of Labor Standards and studying economics, is working on this project. Eventually, the Bureau hopes to include all industries. There are factors in the UI (Unemployment Insurance) and Workers' Compensation system that leads them to classify self-employed's as independent contractors rather than employees. Kurtis explained that nationwide that the service industries are more prominently misclassified as independent contractors. He has already started working with UI and identifying information.
Independent contractors are not under OSHA, no unemployment insurance, and no workers' compensation, which impacts economic issues. Mr. Levesque said the employee leasing companies acquire a policy to insure "x" number of employees, but may actually employ more. Regarding workers' compensation, Mr. Levesque explained that Workers' Compensation audits form filing, but does not inspect employers.
Mr. Brown explained that there is a registration process in the Bureau of Insurance for employee leasing companies, but not licensing.
Mr. Peabody added that under federal law, there are 16 definitions of Independent Contractors.
Other – Bill Peabody. Mr. Peabody explained that at the end of each legislative session, he creates a tracking document of items the Legislature has left for the Maine Bureau of Labor Standards to do.
A. A Study for the Maine Department of Education to look at whether there should be a requirement that all teachers be certified in CPR and all school buildings be equipped with defibrillators. This relates to the Maine Bureau of Labor Standards as our SafetyWorks! Division does public sector enforcement and is concerned with blood borne pathogens. Discussion followed.
B. Requiring the Maine Quality Forum Advisory Council to study the need for a patient care ratio. Pat Philbrook stated that the Maine has too many patients and not enough nurses. Maine has the highest number of nurses working in non-nursing proficient fields. She also said the Maine Quality Forum Advisory Council has two (2) ad hoc committees, which are reviewing this issue.
C. Substance Abuse Testing. The Maine Bureau of Labor Standards does the enforcement of substance abuse testing. This legislation would require the Maine Bureau of Labor Standards and the Office of Substance Abuse (OSA) to study the prevalence of substance abuse in the workplace. Mr. Peabody stated that, at this time, only statewide data is available; but we would like to see, at least, county level or lower. The OSA is looking for money to do a study for the county level. The Bureau has an annual publication, "Substance Abuse Testing Report". Currently Maine's rate of positives is lower than the national rate. Arbitrary testing can currently be done only if there is a collective bargaining agreement calling for that or positions that are safety sensitive (the employer has cause to believe that a person under the influence of substance abuse would be a threat to the public or co-workers). The new law would allow testing of all employees provided that the portion of the policy on random testing would have to be developed by an employee committee. This goes into effect June 30th. Maine's substance abuse law is one of the most restrictive in the country. The first part regarding expanding drug testing is L.D. 1760 and the second part is L.D. 1792.
D. Firefighters' Standards Update. This would ensure that "hand-me-down" equipment meets current standards. The small town fire departments are not qualified to fight internal structure fires as they need proper self-contained breathing apparatus fit testing and proper training.
E. Regulations Regarding Transportation of Forestry Workers. This came about as a result of the accident that killed 14 migrants. Now, they cannot use 15 passenger vans unless the rear seat is removed; no equipment can be stored in the rear or on the van's roof due to instability. Forestry workers can use a 12-passenger van, but are limited to 11 passengers. There are also training requirements for the drivers. Mr. Peabody explained the H2B program, which is a visa classification allowing an employer to bring in foreign workers for a temporary or seasonal job. The national cap is 66,000 and that was reached in March.
Discussion of Injury Prevention – Bill Peabody. Mr. Peabody would like the work group to get into the injury prevention side. The group would like to know what employers are doing for themselves that may not be through a government-sponsored program. One of the questions Mr. Peabody asked is what kind of services for self-employed's could come from the Bureau of Insurance. Mr. Brown stated that insurance carriers do offer consultation services, Title 24-A, Chapter 25, Section 5 (a copy of this law was handed out to those present at the meeting). It is also available at the web site: http://janus.state.me.us/legis/statutes/24-A/title24-Asec2385-C.html
For the next meeting of the work group, Mr. Peabody would like folks to think about injury (including illness) prevention issues and let him know of someone who can enlighten us on injury prevention.
Mr. Peabody will start putting together what the group has discussed regarding data issues as the first report to the Legislature is due January 2005. This report will focus on what we know now about data collection (what it doesn't tell us, its strengths and weaknesses, and what we can do about the weaknesses) and what is happening with EDI and how it might affect data.
Next meeting. The next meeting of the Occupational Safety and Health Data Collection and Injury Prevention Work Group will be held on Wednesday, July 21, 2004 from 9:30 to 11:30A.M., First Floor Training Room, Bureau of Labor Standards, Hallowell Annex. Refreshments will be available.
Adjournment. Mr. Peabody adjourned the meeting at 11:34 A.M.
Respectfully submitted,
Terry M. Hathaway
Recording Secretary

Uri is one of Switzerland's most scenic cantons – yet it remains one of the country's least visited. A jagged wall of 2,000m-tall Urner Alps blocks it from neighbouring member states, and few tourists know what lies on the other side: a paradise of inky and rare Alpine orchids, swimmable cobalt alpsees (Alpine lakes) and unfettered views of alpenglühen (the pink glow that illuminates the mountain tops in morning and evening). Not to mention the snow-capped peaks, bell-clad cows and open-air cable cars of Swiss fantasies.
It is unsurprising, perhaps, that in many ways this is the birthplace of Switzerland. Swiss-German speaking Uri was one of three original "forest cantons" that broke away from the Hapsburg Dynasty, establishing what many consider to be the world's first democracy, and it is here in Uri's Rütli-Meadow that Switzerland's founding Confœderatio Helvetica oath was sworn in 1291.
Having hiked Uri several times in the last four years, my favourite season for a trek remains late spring – when the flora are so bright and the scenery so silent it almost feels like snorkelling. Be aware, however, that to the Swiss, a "hike" is no mere nature excursion; instead, it is a quick-paced four- to eight-hour trek that requires mountain boots, handkerchiefs, swim trunks and nourishment like chocolate and landjäger (sticks of smoked beef and pork). Stopping to smell the flowers? Subordinate. On my first time out, I spied gorgeously mottled Alpine orchids, buttery globe-flowers and cobalt gentian – but while taking pictures, I quickly fell behind my Swiss friends.
For Uri's most scenic trails, start on the eastern side of Lake Uri at the open-air gondola, which travels to the Ober-Axen trailhead. The car is self-operating, so use the wall-mounted phone to ring the mountain station before boarding, then pay the 13 Swiss franc round-trip fare as you exit. The seven-minute ride brings you to the three-hour, 5km Eggberge trail, where you'll encounter hermetic farmers, mossy fairy tale forests, fragrant pinewoods and sloping meadows with plenty of room for frolicking. The first 800m are an intense vertical climb through Alpine meadow, but the trail levels out at an altitude of 1,500m and the rarefied views of Lake Uri are worth the sweat. In autumn, this is ground zero for watching the mysterious nebelmeer (fog seas that fill the valleys); spring brings warm, dry föhn winds, said by locals to cause madness.
My local friend Hansruedi Herger has guided me on most of my hikes, many of which finished at his home in Bürglen, just 4km away, over ländlermusik (traditional Swiss folk music) and plates of his mother's deliciously gooey älplermagronen, a regional macaroni-and-cheese served with speck and applesauce. If an invitation from locals is hard to snag, take the five-minute Sittlisalp cable car (runs every 30 minutes; 10 francs return), located 12m east of Bürglen in Unterschächen, to the Sittlisalp Alpkäserei, an easy and relatively flat 3km gravel-covered loop that leads to a hydroelectric-powered cheese, dairy and shepherd's cooperative of nine family farms. The young cheese-maker working there when I visited taught me the basics of Alpkäse, a cheese made with milk from cows grazing above 1,100m that tastes like wildflowers, is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids and has been given the label of Appellation d'Origine con Controlee (a controlled designation of origin). I sampled several kinds before purchasing a hunk of creamy, Camembert-like mutschli nature, along with a tub of herb butter, yogurt, and a whey drink called molke. Alpkäse is popular with tourists and locals, but the more astringent Alpine-butter, also sold at the farm, is an acquired taste.

Blues to co-brand, sell specialty insurance packages with LifeSecure
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan will begin to co-brand and sell together three specialty insurance product lines this week with subsidiary LifeSecure Insurance Co., a for-profit Brighton-based company Blue Cross founded in 2006.
Starting in April 2015, LifeSecure plans to roll out several other specialty products, including individual disability and individual critical illness protection, and individual and group life and package together with Blue Cross health insurance products, said Tiffany Albert, CEO of LifeSecure.
As a recently converted nonprofit mutual insurance company, Blue Cross is allowed to co-brand insurance products with LifeSecure in Michigan. From 1980 through March 2013, under Public Act 350, Blue Cross was considered the insurer of last resort and limited to selling only health, dental and vision policies.
The three current LifeSecure individual product lines that will be co-branded with Blue Cross health policies are long-term care insurance, personal accident and hospital recovery policies, Albert said.
"Most people have no idea what these products are," said Albert, appointed CEO of LifeSecure in April after four years as Blue Cross director of external sales distribution.
Long-term care insurance covers nursing home care but also services that support people living at home. Personal accident covers medical costs not entirely covered by health policies, and hospital recovery is designed to pay living costs after a patient is discharged.
Expanded benefits for personal accident and hospital recovery will be offered starting July 1, Albert said. Group coverage for personal accident and hospital recovery will be offered later this year.
Kevin Stutler, Blue Cross vice president of ancillary products, said LifeSecure and Blue Cross are considering offering price discounts for customers who purchase multiple products. He said Blue Cross needs state regulatory approval for those discounts.
LifeSecure plans to offer group policies for personal accident and hospital recovery later this year. While long-term care is only offered as an individual policy, Stutler said, employers can offer it as a benefit.
Several other health insurers in Michigan offer some specialty products in the individual, group and workplace markets, including Cigna Healthcare, Humana and Aetna. Other companies offering a variety of specialty lines include Aflac, ING Group, Colonial Life, Guardian, Prudential and Unum.

I bought this Whirlpool Dryer about a month ago and it is GREAT!!!!! I still cannot believe how quietly it runs and what a wonderful job it does drying the clothes.
Really Big
By Zavra
from Broken Arrow, OK, United States
We've had this dryer 2 months and getting used to how big it is has not been much of a problem. Sometimes I save a load and dry 2 together. My wash loads tend to be smaller since there's only 2 of us. Doing this adds to the energy savings and hasn't effected the quality of my clothes.
By Donald1

I`ve had dryer about a month. I love the large capacity, the fact that items don`t stick to drum when I empty it. Access is great. Only thing I can find fault with is the design of place you grab to open door. It is hard go get a grip on it.
Great Product

Purchased a new Whirlpool dryer after my old (40 plus years) dryer finally gave up the ghost. Love the new features on this dryer and the quietness while it is running.
Bought as replacement
By peterk29

We recently had to purchase a new dryer because our old dryer quit working. We couldn't be happier with our new Whirlpool. The number of choices for dry cycles is more than I need. I like that the lint trap is on top, much easier to clean. Overall we are very pleased with the performance.
Simple and does the trick!

Dryers don't need all the bells and whistles . . . as long as they work efficiently there's no need for frills!

Sunday, May 08
Rogers Centre
Attendance: 17,392
Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - Austin Jackson hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the seventh to back Brad Penny's solid start, as the Detroit Tigers topped the Toronto Blue Jays, 5-2, in the third game of a four-game series.
Penny (3-3) allowed just two runs and seven hits in 7 2/3 innings for Detroit, which has won five of its last six, including Justin Verlander's no-hitter in Saturday's 9-0 win.
Jose Valverde recorded his 200th save of his career, striking out three straight batters to end the game.
"Well it's just another great milestone. You know those happen all the time, and this was a good one for him, obviously. We talked about it yesterday, actually, that he needed one more for 200. Well we were hoping to get it today and sometimes those things work out," said Tigers manager Jim Leyland.
Jose Bautista, who returned to the lineup after missing the last five games with a stiff neck, belted a two-run homer for Toronto.
Jo-Jo Reyes (0-3) suffered another loss, allowing five runs on eight hits in seven-plus innings for the Blue Jays, who have dropped six of their last seven games.
Jackson's second home run of the season also brought around Brandon Inge to hand the Tigers a 4-2 lead in the seventh.
Miguel Cabrera added an insurance run in the eighth with his first hit of the series, driving in pinch runner Don Kelly with a single.
Toronto took a 2-0 lead in the third inning, but never found the scoreboard again. Penny served an elevated sinker to Bautista, who blasted the pitch into the base of the left field second deck.
"He [Penny] pitched me away earlier and he was successful. So I got to a 3-2 count and I said I'm going to give myself a chance to hit a good fastball, and I got it," said Bautista.
Detroit, though, got the two runs back during the top of the fourth. Victor Martinez hit a two-out RBI double and scored on Jhonny Peralta's single.

Linux Foundation Supports Japan with Open Source Development
The Linux Foundation has concluded an agreement to support Japanese developers with Linux and Open Source in future.
The new partnership between the Linux Foundation (LF) and the Information-Technology Promotion Agency (IPA) project backed by the Japanese government will officially kick off October 30. Partners will be revealing tangible collaboration plans at the IPA Forum in Meiji Kinen-kan in Tokyo, Japan.
The Linux Foundation states that it will be looking to increase the number of Japanese programmers working on Linux and Open Source development through the project. Cooperation will focus on technological development, standardization and legal issues
The announcement comes at a time where the interest in Free and Open Source Software in Japan is bigger than ever. Several examples clearly demonstrate that more and more electronics manufacturers are starting to use Linux for their devices, says the LF in its announcement. Just recently, the Tokyo stock exchange decided to introduce a Linux-based system as its next generation enterprise application. In July of this year, the Japanese government announced that it will be looking to adopt open standards in all fields. The government has dedicated a budget of 1.5 trillion yens (about US$ 10.4 billion) for this purpose. And there are plans to develop a Linux-based administrative system.
"Japanese companies and developers have been strong supporters of the LF since Day One. We're determined to do more to support Linux and open source developers in Japan." says Linux Foundation Director Jim Zemlin. "This agreement is part of the LF's aggressive regional promotion activities and an important way for the open source community to continue to expand."
Just recently market researchers Gartner predicted that Open Source software would account for 60 percent of core applications in business and government in the Asian-Pacific region by 2010, compared to less than 15 percent in 2004.

reviews & comments (26)
Have made it twice, loved it both time! Just because I am not hot on melon I switched them out for white flesh peaches, and it was wonderful!
This was okay, but I wouldn't bother to make it again. This is the first time I've tried a recipe from this site and haven't liked it very much. And we do like cold soups very much. I strongly suspect that the herbs one chooses make a major difference in how this turns out...I had chives and dill in my garden, and it just didn't work that well. I think cilantro would marry much better with the other flavors.
Mheh... it was OK... just OK... won't make it again, even though I didn't hate it... but there are better gazpacho recipes out there, and I'll look for another one.
This is a delicious soup. Those who say something is wrong with the recipe may want to considering ordering in next time...
I'm not usually a fan of cold soups, but this was surprisingly good. This will probably be even better when cucumbers are in season. I'm not sure whether I measured the pepper or just threw some in, but the pepper definitely adds to the taste of the dish. I enjoyed the leftovers much more with a bit of extra. (FYI, I made this with cantaloupe.)
I've made this recipe twice and it was delicious both times. Cool, sweet, a little tangy, and smooth. I'm surprised at the reviews that complain it is bitter--if anything it is sweet. I made it for company and someone asked for the recipe.
absolutely fantastic. i'm kind of melon-ed out right now, so instead of mixing in the melon dice, i accompanied the diced shrimp and cucumber dollop with a dollop of fresh pineapple tomatillo salsa that i made earlier today. the entire dish is stunning, flavorful, seasonal and healthy, not to mention a very inspired way to make use of an overabundance of cucumbers. Really - aside from being melon-ed out, I don't think I could eat another bite of tzaziki!
This was a winner! Next time would double the recipe and serve as the main dish for a hot summer night's meal. Used fresh basil, dill and mint for my herbs, and watermelon instead of cantalope. Really, really good!!
