It's a fine line to walk where labor laws are concerned. I wonder if sometimes, businesses have so many laws they have to obey that they can't make a profit. Sometimes, employees *should* be let go, if they're not productive, or not good employees.
I'm not saying that companies should go back to the 19th century when five year olds were chained to their machines, but companies should have a little more leeway in how to deal with their workers. Of course, they should pay workman's comp and that kind of thing, but they should have more say in how to manage the workforce.

Francis Bacon Muse Portrait Could Fetch £30m
A portrait of Francis Bacon's muse and lover could set a record auction price for a single canvas by the artist, with estimates reaching £30m.
The work features George Dyer, who died of an overdose in Paris two days before the painting was displayed at Bacon's first major retrospective at the Grand Palais in 1971.
It is the first time in a decade such a work has come up for auction and it will be sold at Christie's in London.
The almost two metre-tall canvas, called Portrait of George Dyer Talking, was last sold at Christie's New York in 2000 when it went for £4m - a record for Bacon at the time.
His prices have soared since then and in November a new world record was set for a Bacon artwork at auction when a triptych depicting Lucian Freud sold for £89m.
The artist met his lover in 1963 and he became the subject of many of his most celebrated works, including the portrait to be sold on February 13 which he created in 1966.
It is described by Christie's as the most significant large-scale portrait of Dyer to be offered at auction in over 10 years.
The painting - which has been seen in the UK only once, at Marlborough Fine Art in 1967 - will be exhibited in London before the sale.
Many of Bacon's depictions of Dyer are part of museum and gallery collections.

Once again, another Euro Crisis is brewing. This time it is more serious than before. This brinkmanship politics is going to create Lehman brothers 2.0 and drag the world economy into a spin!!
It is high time that governments act responsibly in live within the national means of their respective economies. They cannot continue an Ostrich head in the sand approach to fiscal problems. The PIIGs countries need to put the brakes on spending they cannot afford.
The Euro-politics of prevarication & obfuscation are not going to provide a genuine solution to the upcoming inflation in Europe. First rule for solving a problem is to recognize its existence and not to live in denial! You cannot continue to delay the inevitable. The Euro union is not a catholic marriage because it is not made among economic equals. It is more like a tale of two cities with a Grand Canyon divide between the rich Europe and the poor Europe!
It is quintessential that they follow a paradigm shift in modifying their fiscal behavior from credit "Loan based Economy" to savings based investment Economy. Please earn from the Chinese. Do NOT give the man a fish teach him how to fish!

So I've been using the Tribunal ever since it came out, and it's worked well up until now. However, in the past week I've been getting certain summoners' cases multiple times...which I don't think is fair for them, because it's essentially my opinion multiple times. What's going on Riot? Is this supposed to happen, or am I just using the Tribunal too much?
Malachi Nnelg
did you not see the Commander Arron post?
I did. But that thread is simply to address one person and not the error itself. This thread is trying to communicate with Riot, because Commander Aaron isn't the only person this is happening for.
HGH Bonius
Then again, the case file(s) for Commander Aaron has so many games in them that a new case is built - maybe the same thing for those other players as well?
LOL yeh just noticed the commander Aaron case came up 5 times 4 me.
Please let's keep from mentioning specific cases on this forum. I don't want to see this thread dissolve into insults and fighting because someone thinks such and such case was wrong, and someone thinks it's right, and they hate each other. I'd like to keep this forum on the topic of asking Riot why this is happening. No names, just if it's happened to you talk about whether or not you're worried about it, etc.
We just gave you a good cent on why it might be happening, if our answer is not enough, send an email to Riot customer support to get an official answer.
FighterRanger, would you be willing to compile case numbers that are duplicates in your main post? maybe it'll give riot a chance to look over the data?

"What B.S." was the (anonymous) reaction of one reader to my post last week on the disaster in Haiti, and indeed, it is difficult to argue with the point that what is needed in Haiti is not analysis, but action: saving lives, rebuilding the city, and, as one writer pointed out, rebuilding the "social relations…that make up the city."
Nevertheless, we do need to learn from the earthquake in Haiti, and we need to help, as we can, the city of Port-au-Prince to rebuild in a good way.
Kevin Matthews points out that my comparison to the Loma Prieta earthquake in California was flawed: that one took place far from population centers, while in Haiti the epicenter was almost directly below Port-au-Prince. Obviously, the geology was different as well. Moreover, Haiti last saw a major earthquake almost two centuries ago, while California experiences them regularly and so, presumably, is better prepared. Matthews goes on to point out that the damage in the Bay Area was nonetheless significant.
What is even more worrisome is his statement that "about three times more people live in US areas, in six states, that do not have state or national building codes as the entire population of Haiti." If this is true, and I am not sure how to verify it, that certainly gives pause. As Matthews also points out, even in states with strong codes, many pre-code buildings still stand. I live in Cincinnati, a few hundred miles from New Madrid, which saw a devastating earthquake in 1811 that was felt in New York and Boston. I do not think anybody here knows what to do if a quake were to occur.
Reader AEEDT points out that "New Orleans is a completely different issue. There's considerable evidence that hurricanes and global warming are linked. Earthquakes, on the other hand, are a geological event." True, but it is the effect that I was comparing. In both cases, the disaster caused great human suffering, though it was larger by an order of many magnitudes in Haiti. In New Orleans, we should have known and prepared better, which makes it all the worse, but the effect is still that the city is destroyed and must be rebuilt in a better way.
I leave aside here all those who simply dismissed the ability of architects to contribute anything, think they can't act because (as Boxarch claims) they can only think in "big ideas," or should act only to help vouchsafe private property, the family, and other social units and economic categories, as AR9 claimed. I will repeat: as citizens, we should all contribute, however we can, to answer the human devastation caused by this disaster. As architects or those who think about architecture, we must ask ourselves what specific expertise we have that we can offer. I do think we know something about making safer buildings, and about making better places for people to live. We spent a lot of time—and society spent a lot of money—for us to gain that knowledge. Let's apply it.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.

Millen backing Maynard to shine
Maynard, who has 10 goals to his name this season, went his sixth game without scoring as City were beaten 1-0 at Doncaster on Saturday. But Millen hopes with a bit of luck the 23-year-old will rediscover his touch sooner rather than later. Millen told the Bristol Evening Post: "All strikers go through these lean spells and Nicky is having one at the moment. When that happens you have to keep working hard and hope something drops for you. "It is affecting his confidence and he needs that little bit of luck in front of goal."

So last week VW rolled out a teaser of it's potentially car-less ad scheduled for the "Big Game" this Sunday. Now we have Toyota's Wish Granted ad, which seems to have the 'big three' for charm and appeal:
It also hints at an overweight dad and goes a bit retro with the 90's song, I Wish by rapper Skee-Lo. One other thing it has that Volkswagen is missing: A car - or in this case, a crossover SUV - the Toyota RAV4. For ME, the Toyota ad is more fun, while still piquing my interest in their new product.
So is it better just to make you feel good, as VW did with their ad (at the bottom), or make you feel good AND feel good about their product? I give the global sales leader TWO THUMBS UP for their effort!

Volkswagen teaser ad with no car:
Haha, nice Chuck. :D
Agree the VW teaser misses the mark. But its Super Bowl commercial shows product and scores on feel-good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9H0xPWAtaa8 600,000+ views in less than 2 days.
Toyota ad definitely hits the mark much better - AND, it got a chuckle out of me...very nice job. I just did not feel any connection to the VW ad, though it might keep you watching because you're wondering what it's all about. Kudos Toyota!
I still think they're both brilliant in there own way, but that Toyota commercial is SA-LICK!
You're right. Toyota's Kicks VW's Butt.

Diebold's Customized ATMs Enable Lacamas Community Credit Union's Open Branch Strategy
NORTH CANTON, Ohio, Aug. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Addressing shifting consumer needs to enhance self-service and personal interactions at the branch, Diebold, Incorporated (NYSE: DBD) is delivering customized automated teller machines (ATMs) to enable an open environment for Lacamas Community Credit Union's new Andresen Branch in Vancouver, WA. The branch will feature five deposit automation-enabled Diebold Opteva® ATMs, including three compact ATM stations that streamline basic member-driven transactions inside the branch. The Opteva ® custom terminals allow members to bypass teller lines while providing more time for Lacamas' staff to help members with more advanced financial service needs.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20080725/DIEBOLDLOGO)
Within Lacamas' newest concierge-style branch, credit union personnel direct members to appropriate areas to fulfill their banking needs. At the self-service stations, members can complete envelope-free cash and check deposits, as well as traditional ATM transactions. For more advanced needs, Lacamas' personnel can assist members directly.
"Our open, interactive branch concept allows members to complete convenient transactions on their own, right inside the branch. At the same time, our staff will be available to assist with those self-service transactions and to also work one-on-one with members to review their financial goals and complete more advanced transactions," said Kathleen Romane, president and CEO, Lacamas. "We expect to not only speed up transactions for members, but to also give our staff more time to spend nurturing member relationships."
Lacamas first introduced deposit automation to its members in 2012 with three drive-up ATMs installed at already existing branches. Further enhancing members' experiences, Lacamas' ATMs feature Diebold's anti-skimming card readers, which are designed to protect members' account information. In addition, the ATMs are equipped with Europay, MasterCard, Visa (EMV) card readers, which Lacamas can activate in the future without upgrading hardware. "The open branch environment concept has been proven, and this model will offer Lacamas and its members the best of both worlds," said Mychal D. Kempt, vice president, North America operations, Diebold. "Members will enjoy rapid, self-service experiences and more personalized interactions with the credit union. And Lacamas will migrate more routine transactions to the ATM and gain additional opportunities to cross-sell financial services." About Lacamas Community Credit Union With headquarters in Camas, WA, Lacamas Community Credit Union serves individuals and businesses in Clark, Skamania and Cowlitz counties. The credit union serves more than 17,000 members, operates six branch locations and holds assets of more than $190 million.

The maelstrom around you rages on,

Tranquility of the blood in your ears

Quirky News
Baking novice's monster birthday cake
A creative mum made her son's eighth birthday party one to remember by making him an incredible 4ft 6ins dinosaur cake.
Despite being a baking novice, Maria Young created the huge triceratops after being challenged by son Logan to bake a dinosaur cake.
She spent five days beating 130 eggs to create the cake body and went through 12 boxes of Rice Krispies making the legs and head.
Ms Young, 28, from Portsmouth, said: "I'd only baked three cakes in my life before Logan asked if I would make him a 'standing-up dinosaur cake'.
"I thought 'I can do this' and ended up making something absolutely huge - we called him Tiny the Triceratops, because he was so big.
"Once we'd made him we couldn't even lift him off the kitchen worktop, we had to eat him where he was."
Logan was hugely impressed, and said: "It was amazing, it was the best cake I have ever seen and it tasted delicious.
"My friends loved it and I took some cake into school too - I think my mum is brilliant for making it."

No, but when you're recognized for something, no matter how trivial it may seem, show enough respect to acknowledge it instead of having to post "you didn't deserve it and how dare you ask the community to congratulate you!!!".
Do it on another thread. People are human, and you don't have to be a damned perfectionist. It's not "love for Star Trek", it's common decency.
Besides, most of us know this game could certainly be a hell of a lot worse. It isn't exactly the Congressional Medal of Honor, STO offices aren't being visited by the President, and they're not scheduling ticker tape parades through the streets of San Francisco, CA. It's a simple, token award. Let them have it in peace.

What a busy night for Carrie! Not only was the sexy singer a nominee AND a host at the CMA Awards on Nov. 6, she was also a performer. And with an amazing medley of her hits, that might've been the best part of her night.
No disrespect to Taylor Swift (we'll let you finish), but Carrie Underwood is the queen of country right now! And the CMA Awards co-host proved it on Nov. 6 by busting out a stunning performance of "Good Girl," "Blown Away," and "See You Again."
Carrie Underwood Stuns At The CMA Awards
Carrie's mix of tenacity, sex appeal, and fun-loving attitude was front and center when she took the stage to sing a medley of her biggest hits. In a black outfit that showed off a ton of leg, Carrie nailed every part of the rendition — and looked great while doing it.
The spotlight is always on Carrie — at least in the country world — but she always manages to come through. We love watching her give her all for performances like this. She always leaves us wanting more.
And those legs!
Carrie Underwood's Big Night At CMA Awards
The 47th annual CMA Awards might as well have been called "The Carrie Awards," because she was the star on Nov. 6. The singer went into the night nominated for three awards — Album of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year, and Music Video of the Year — and oh yeah, she hosted the thing!
Carrie shared hosting duties with fellow country musician Brad Paisley, and big surprise — she was actually great at that too, making jokes about Obamacare and twerking.
Is there anything that Carrie can't do?
What did you think of Carrie's CMA Awards performance, HollywoodLifers? Let us know!

They weren't making fun of Obamacare, but the glitches in healthcare.gov, so get over it. Jeez, didn't anyone understand? And they always add in jokes about huge stories this year, mostly the controversial ones. Really, who didn't see that Miley joke coming? I knew they'd include at least a couple of disses in the CMA monologue literally once Miley finished her VMA "perfomance" (more like a strip tease). It's what Brad and Carrie do, find major stories this year and make fun of the, it's meant to be humorous, why cant everyone just laugh at themselves?

I just lost all respect for you and Brad Paisley for opening with your Republican hate for Obama!!! Bet you supported the Republican shutdown of the government too! Shame on the CMA Awards committee…but with all the Southern bigotry influence with some country western singers I shouldn't be surprised!! You have your healthcare..the Hell with those who don't. Maybe you could support what Obama is trying to do for this country. Sorry I had to see your true colors!!
They made a joke over the slowness of healthcare.gov get over it. i am BTW a Democratic County Judge and I thought it was funny. i defend Obama to many Ant-Obama haters in many forums. Also a room full of potential Republicans can say what they want about ACA. Just as a chrch full of AA's will probably talk crap about The Tea Party.

Best budget destinations for 2013. Hotel rates in Ko Phi Phi, Thailand, have dropped by 27 percent.
(Photo: Steve Allen / Dreamstime.com) Year after year, friends and family of the Budget Travel staff inevitably ask us the same question: "Where's the coolest and most affordable place to go next? " Luckily, we work hard to get at the right answers for them. Each year before the holidays, the BT team combs through piles of data regarding new flight destinations, airline prices, places aggressively building new hotels, cities experiencing cultural booms, currency charts, and other statistics to compile our list of the 10 best Budget Destinations for the upcoming year.

"Wait a minute Mantor.....could several people simply wield the reality stone together as a barrrier? Well more specifically I mean use it to somehow 'collect' the energy he would use to attack us? |
Mantor leans back and takes on a more pensive demeanor. "If several people were to touch the gem simultaneously, they would all have to give the gem the same command in order for their combined will to be reflected upon it...but...if others were to simply be in physical contact with the gem's single wielder, they could lend their will to that person and let the bearer of the gem dictate the gem's action. Yes...those people could potentially act as a battery for the gem's bearer, amplifying that person's mastery of the gem...but those who do so would want to be certain that the bearer would be acting with their best intentions, of course...for once their will is given over to the bearer of the gem, they would simply be fueling the bearer's commands upon the gem, not dictating their own." |
"That...presents many possibilities," Blackbird notes after several moments of thought. "Such as, for example...having one wielder of multiple gems, whose will is bolstered by the resolve of the entire Avengers team." |
The heroes have traveled slightly back in time for this interlude. The scene at the door was Mantor going out to see the Avengers Quinjet pass by in the police appreciation parade which happened a few days back, during the time he still had a recovering Jericho Tesla as a house guest. Fortunately, the two time-tossed Jerichos did not bump into each other. Mantor would go on to explain everything to Jericho (past version) and then make sure he promptly forgot about it (this happened in a previous cut scene a couple issues back). |
Yes, Rad's player actually did acquire the gem back in a private adventure when this game launched about two years ago. Having no reason to further investigate the strange item, he has had it with him the whole time. I will have to see if I can dig up some of the original emails and post them for reference. |

Home and barn burn on Three Mile Bridge Road in BerlinMark Collier / Staff Photo
Firefighters train a stream of water on a burning home on Three Mile Bridge Road late Wednesday in Berlin.BERLIN — Fire has destroyed a hay barn and engulfed a home on Three Mile Bridge Road in Berlin, but one of the homeowners says no one was hurt and that horses at the property are safe.
The home belongs to Brad Towne and his wife, Rita.
Fire crews from throughout the area were called to the scene about 8:30 p.m.
At 10:10 p.m., much of the first and second floors of the house were engulfed in flames, and all that remained of the hay barn was a few upright timbers. One of three chimneys on the home toppled shortly after 10 p.m.
Rita Towne said many neighbors helped her corral 12 horses and a pony that had been in a second barn that was unaffected. While the home burned, the animals were in a fenced area farther from the fire.
The initial fire calls indicated that the burning barn held animals, but Rita Towne later said that was not the case.
She said the barn and home were insured and that no people were hurt.
Tanker trucks were sent to the scene from several communities, and crews pulled water from the river as far away as the area near Green Mount Cemetery in Montpelier.
Several additional tank trucks were brought in around 10 p.m., including from Northfield and Washington.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER The Vermont House has advanced a wide-ranging bill that pushes utilities other than...

Aggregates in biologic products differ in origin, type, and size, and are caused by multiple factors. Of particular interest to regulatory agencies are aggregates that have the potential to enhance immune responses causing adverse clinical effects, or aggregates that may compromise the safety and efficacy of the drug product. Enhanced immune responses to protein aggregates have been reported in animal and clinical studies.1–4 Although classical immune responses to proteinaceous material foreign to humans are expected, the immune system may mount a strong response to aggregated protein preparations that have endogenous counterparts through a tolerance breakdown mechanism. In the mechanism of tolerance breakdown, protein aggregates may serve as facilitators in the formation of protein complexes that trigger B cell production of antibodies against the protein, independent of T-helper cell recruitment. The basis for this type of response comes from the immunon concept, in which antigen presented as a polymeric structure with more than 10 haptens, spaced 5–10 nm apart in a viral-like particle organization, and sized above 100 kDa, can overcome immune tolerance.5,6 Such a scenario may account for the unexpected neutralization of the endogenous protein, and have a profound clinical effect. High molecular weight (HMW) aggregates that conserve most of the native configuration of their monomer counterpart, and that can nucleate haptens in this way, are of most concern for this type of mechanism.7 Alternatively, aggregates displaying non-native protein conformations may be seen by the immune system as neoantigens, which could trigger antibody formation. 7 This article provides a regulatory perspective on aggregates in protein-based pharmaceuticals, their characterization, detection methods, and various controls that have been implemented by drug manufacturers.

Ochre or Ocher (pronounced /ˈoʊkər/ OH-kər, from the Greek ὠχρός, ōkhrós, pale) is term for both a golden-yellow or light yellow brown color and for a form of earth pigment which produces the color. The pigment can also be used to create a reddish tint known as Red ochre. The more rarely used terms Purple ochre and Brown ochre also exist for variant hues. Because of these other hues, the color Ochre is sometimes referred to as Yellow ochre.
Ochres are among the earliest pigments used by mankind, derived from naturally tinted clay containing mineral oxides. Chemically, it is hydrated iron (III) oxide. Modern artists' pigments continue to use the terms Yellow ochre and Red ochre for specific hues.
Contents |
Ochres are non-toxic, and can be used to make an oil paint that dries quickly and covers surfaces thoroughly. To manufacture ground ochre, ochre clay is first mined from the ground. It is then washed in order to separate sand from ochre, which can be done by hand. The remaining ochre is then dried in the sun and sometimes burned to enhance the natural color.
As a painting pigment, it exists in at least four forms:
- Yellow ochre, Fe2O3 • H2O, a hydrated iron oxide
- Red ochre, Fe2O3, the anhydrate of yellow ochre, which turns red when heated, as this drives off the water ligands.
- Purple ochre, identical to red ochre chemically but of a different hue caused by different light diffraction properties associated with a greater average particle size
- Brown ochre (Goethite), also partly hydrated iron oxide (rust)
They are found throughout the world in many shades. Many sources consider the best brown ochre to come from Cyprus, and the best yellow and red ochre from Roussillon, France. All have been used since prehistoric times.
The earliest potential evidence for complex human culture comes from the site of Blombos Cave in South Africa, where two pieces of ochre engraved with abstract designs have been found, often considered to be the world's first known art, along with shells pierced for use as jewelry and a complex toolkit including finely crafted bone tools. The ensemble is dated to around 75,000 years ago. It has been suggested that the presence of complex culture indicates the use of modern human language. [1] A report published in 2009 on an additional thirteen pieces of ochre states that the results "suggest that symbolic intent and tradition were present in this region at an earlier date than previously thought."[2] An anthropologist studying another South African cave has called for further studies to ensure that the incisions were deliberate and not the result of an attempt to remove ochre powder from the stones.[3].
However, the archaeological literature is not consistent in the use of the word 'ochre', at times using it to refer to any red deposit and the distinction between ochre and umber can also be contentious.[4] Ochre pigments were used by the Cro-Magnon [5] artists who painted the pre-historic cave paintings in southern Europe between 32,000 and 10,000 years ago.
It has been argued that Neolithic burials used red ochre pigments symbolically, either to represent a return to the earth or possibly as a form of ritual rebirth, in which the color symbolizes blood and the Great Goddess.[6]
In Germanic rune lore, red ochre was often used in place of blood to redden, or tint, the runes and thereby instilling the spirit of life into the rune, enabling it to be used for magical purposes.[citation needed]
Early historical period
Ochre was commonly used as a pigment by many a number of native peoples. The Ancient Picts were said to paint themselves "Iron Red" according to the Gothic historian Jordanes. Frequent references in Irish myth to "red men" (Gaelic: Fer Dearg) make it likely that such a practice was common to the Celts of the British Isles, bog iron being particularly abundant in the midlands of Ireland.
In Newfoundland[7] its use is most often associated with the Beothuk, whose use of red ochre led them to be referred to as "Red Indians" by the first Europeans to Newfoundland.[8] It was also used by the Maritime Archaic as evidenced by its discovery in the graves of over 100 individuals during an archaeological excavation at Port au Choix. California Native Americans such as the Chumash were known to use red ochre as body paint.[9]
In ancient Egypt red ochre was used as a rouge, or lip gloss for women.
Historic Period
Ochre in its various permutations was the most commonly used material for painting walls in the ancient Mediterranean world. In Ancient Greece, red ochre was called μίλτος, míltos (hence Miltiades, red-haired or ruddy). In Athens when Assembly was called, a contingent of public slaves would sweep the open space of the Agora with ropes dipped in miltos: those citizens that loitered there instead of moving to the Assembly area would risk having their clothes stained with the paint. This prevented them from wearing these clothes in public again, as failure to attend the Assembly incurred a fine.
When the mineral was found in Brixham England, it became a very important part of the developing fishing industry. This gave the old fishing boats their "Red Sails in the Sunset", but the purpose was to protect the canvas from seawater, not to be picturesque. It was boiled in great caldrons, together with tar, tallow and oak bark, the last ingredient giving the name of barking yards to the places where the hot mixture was painted on to the sails, which were then hung up to dry.
Ochre was a popular coloring in France during the time of the French Empire, and many French citizens living in foreign colonies would import a great deal of ochre clay from France to make their new lands feel like home. As a result, after the period of French colonization ended ochre became associated with repression and fell out of favor. With the advent of synthetic dyes, ochre mining nearly stopped altogether. Recently, however, natural ochre paint has seen something of a comeback as an upscale house paint option.
In Newfoundland, red ochre was the pigment of choice for use in vernacular outbuildings and work buildings associated with the cod fishery. Deposits of ochre are found throughout Newfoundland, notably near Fortune Harbor and at Ocher Pit Cove. While earliest settlers may have used locally collected ochre, people were later able to purchase pre-ground ochre through local merchants, largely imported from England.
The dry ingredient, ochre, was mixed with some type of liquid raw material to create a rough paint. The liquid material was usually seal oil or cod liver oil in Newfoundland and Labrador, while Scandinavian recipes sometimes called for linseed oil. Red ochre paint was sometimes prepared months in advance and allowed to sit, and the smell of ochre paint being prepared is still remembered by many today.
Variations in local recipes, shades of ore, and type of oil used resulted in regional variations in color. Because of this, it is difficult to pinpoint an exact shade or hue or red that would be considered the traditional "fishing stage red". Oral tradition in the Bonavista Bay area maintains that seal oil would give a purer red color, while cod liver oil would give a "foxy" color, browner in hue.
