The process took a day – interviewed at Suffolk County, New York (Deer Park, NY) in June 2011.
Getting a civil service position such as this requires locating examination announcements either online or at your local civil service office and completing an application to take the exam, which usually requires candidates to submit an application fee that can be waived under certain circumstances. Candidates are notified by mail whether their application has been approved and, if it has, the location, date and time of the test as well as rules about what you may and not bring with you and a map of the test site. My advice? Do not rely on the map; locate a student or a security guard who will give you directions.
Each testing room will have individuals taking a variety of tests. The time allowed for completing the tests will be on the blackboard, as will certain information that is required to be written on the answer sheet. Candidates are given an answer sheet, scrap paper, written instructions and an EOE questionnaire, which is voluntary. After allowing time for test takers to complete the biographical information, proctors will hand out test booklets. You are required to count the pages and initial the front of the booklet to indicate that you agree with the page count. The proctor will, at the end of the exam, count your pages and initial that the booklet was returned with the same number of pages.
I believe it took about 10 weeks to receive the test score along with my position on the list. Applicants are then called to interview as positions open. As with all interviews, candidates are made to realize the insignificance of their time as the interviewer does not get around to taking you in until 45 minutes or so after your scheduled appointment. While you are waiting, you are given a written job description to peruse. Although you have only this to read and reread during your horrendous wait, the interviewer reads it to you at the start of the appointment, then asks if you wish to be considered for the opening and whether you have any questions.
When I asked how candidates are selected, the interviewer told me that by law they have to offer the position to one of the top three candidates on the list, but this has not been my experience with other civil service positions in the county.Interview Questions

Do we need public access to doctor's performance data?
The consumer leader at the Health Quality and Safety Commission, Chris Walsh, admits to being nervous when she faced a surgeon for a mastectomy.
"Apart from all the anxiety that I was going through and all the stress, I looked at him and I thought to myself, I don't know you, I've never met you before. Who are you and how good are you at what you do?"
Marlborough woman Lynn Weir is also nervous following the death of her sister Rachel Riddell following gallbladder surgery several years ago.
"We ask more questions about who's going to fix our cars than we do about someone who we're putting our life into their hands," she said.
Medical Council chairman Andrew Connolly.

The Medical Council said in a discussion paper that Ombudsman Ron Paterson ruled late last year that Tairawhiti District Health Board should release surgeon-specific case volume data.It said it was also aware of further requests of a similar nature from various media outlets to DHBs under the Official Information Act.
Council chairman Andrew Connolly said league tables, which could be compiled with such information, were misleading.
"If we go and put out just a league table that simply says six deaths out of 250, you know six for 250, a bit like a cricket score, it is frankly meaningless," he said. Read more »

It's Tea Time
Of course, the best thing about teas is that there are zero calories in a cup, no matter which of the many varieties you're drinking. Even better, steeping the tea releases the phytochemicals from the plants that the tea is made from, adding additional health benefits. In fact, some research suggests that drinking tea may help prevent osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and even bad breath.
Try some of these delicious tea concoctions. Though some have additional calories from added flavorings, in many cases there are even more health benefits.
Cranberry chamomile tea:
Adding a dash of cranberry juice to this soothing blend not only adds a jolt of flavor but also some additional vitamins.
Iced pineapple green tea:
The only thing better than drinking one of your Superfoods is drinking two at once. It may sound like an odd combination, but stirring green tea and pineapple juice together makes a refreshing and healthy cocktail.
Ginseng tea with honey:
The honey in this tea will add sweetness and a few calories, but the real benefit is from the ginseng tea, which has been used for centuries as an energizing drink.
Iced peppermint tea:
Across the country, iced tea is a staple of warm summer months. Here is a twist on the classic, using a peppermint blend along with lemon juice and honey for a tart and sweet effect.
Minty apple iced tea:
They say an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Well, adding apple juice to your tea keeps the doldrums away. Fruit juice in tea may seem like a strange idea, but adding it to some peppermint tea is a daring and fun variation.
Ginger tea with honey:
Ginger ale may be more popular than ginger tea, but this is an even healthier and more nutritious choice. Though there aren't any bubbles, you'll still get the energizing effects and health benefits of ginger without having to eat it.

By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 4:05 PM GMT on August 27, 2005
The Hurricane Hunters measured a central pressure of 949 mb at 11:14am EDT, up from the cental pressure of 941 mb measured at 7:07am EDT. Concentric eyewalls with diameters of 13 and 40 nm were reported, satellite images show that the eye has filled in with clouds and the cloud top temperatures have warmed. These observations indicate that an eyewall replacement cycle has begun. This was expected, since the 7:07am Hurricane Huneter report indicated that the eye diameter had shrunk to 9 nm, about the smallest diameter one gets before an eyewall replacement cycle begins.
The maximum winds may fall below 115 mph while Katrina undergoes this eyewall replacement cycle, as the inner eyewall collapses and a new outer eyewall forms. This would make Katrina a strong Category 2 storm, and indeed the maximum winds seen so far by the Hurricane Hunters were only 87 knots (100 mph) at 10,000 feet. This is a temporary affliction, since Katrina is in nearly ideal conditions for strengthening, and is expected to reach Category 4 status by Sunday. The convection and outflow are starting to look better on the north side of the hurricane, and Katrina should have a more symmetrical shape typical of Category 4 hurricanes by Sunday. As seen in the cumulative wind image below, Katrina has increased markedly in size the past 12 hours, and will deliver a widespread damaging blow wherever she comes ashore.
The favorable intensification conditions for Katrina are expected to last up until landfall, when some increase in shear may occur. Intensification forecasts are highly unreliable, though, and it would be no surprise if Katrina were a Category 2, 3, or 4 landfall. The track forecast is getting more believable, as Katrina's westerly motion shows that it has begun it recurvature, pretty much where NHC and the models were predicting. A landfall between New Orleans and Pensacola is on track for Monday morning or afternoon. I expect a Category 3 storm at landfall.
I'd hate to be an Emergency Management official in New Orleans right now. Katrina is pretty much following the NHC forecast, and appears likely to pass VERY close to New Orleans. I'm surprised they haven't ordered an evacuation of the city yet. While the odds of a catastrophic hit that would completely flood the city of New Orleans are probably 10%, that is way too high in my opinion to justify leaving the people in the city. If I lived in the city, I would evacuate NOW! There is a very good reason that the Coroner's office in New Orleans keeps 10,000 body bags on hand. The risks are too great from this storm, and a weekend away from the city would be nice anyway, right? GO! New Orleans needs a full 72 hours to evacuate, and landfall is already less than 72 hours away. Get out now and beat the rush. You're not going to have to go to work or school on Monday anyway. If an evacuation is ordered, not everyone who wants to get out may be able to do so--particularly the 60,000 poor people with no cars.

Yeah Cat alot of computer amateurs on here. They believe everything they read..oh well... |
Link The Link for the NAM model is above. The GFS shifted slightly eastward, from being west of New Orleans to just east of New Orleans. |
there are im usre many very helpful people on this site that have helped me put a decent plan together...tis too bad that a few "jerks" have to be the way they are |
If its going to hit New Orleans, how would the angle affect the amount of damage? Would it be better to hit head on, to the east or to the west? The models seem to be taking her in slightly to the west. Link |
Yeah he might be with Stormtop in Maine somewhere..lol... |
Yes Lefty, thanks...I am always prepared with extra water , bateries, food, ect.. I belive in always be prepared for the unexpected...Too hot to bation down the outside today, but I will tommorrow morning when it starts cooling off. I am far enough north for that. I also used to have an insurence agency in the same building as the Ms.Allstate Claims Dept. They make 'big' bucks when they are called into the field...That's why CAT's drooling... |
I will..thanks Lefty...i wish i was far away eating a Big Mac...im getting more scared by the minute wathcing this monster grow |
Filet o Fish |
i have to agree with cosmic, If a CAT5 storm was headed my way i wouldnt be wasting my time on a weather blog talking to you guys..no offense..lol.. |
just ignore them msy. they enjoy it. it took me a couple of days to learn to ignore the idiots |
I am enjoying reading your comments. And find this weather interesting and scary. Do you all think Pensacola is out of the woods since the tracks are moving it to New Orleans? Thanks |
Catchaser: Getting advice from hurricane enthusiasts and other people in the same situation online is a completely valid way to help prepare for the hurricane, especially if she has very few options, as she seems to have. |
OK..Cosmic,,,would u pay 25K to get me out...because i dont know anybody that would nor do i think its realistic to think so...so again are u willing to pay 25K to get me out? Id be happy to go if you would |
The 18Z gfs has the storm just off of the east coast of Florida after 6 hours. Then has it going to SE LA. Clearly some error involved. I'm more inclined to believe the 18Z NAM which has NO spared with the storm turning northeast before striking LA. |
MSY: I would think that if you went to the local message boards on the local newspaper or TV sites you would have no problem finding someone to write a 25k check to get out of town quickly, easily, and now. Something is not adding up here. My Columbo nose is twitching. |
wow she has gotten so big in 24 hrs. itried to tell that guy last nigth she will be a huge storm |
LEFTY...is Cosmic and CatChaser for real??? |
new 18Z gfs...Link..Same ole path, nothing has changed... |
I cant believe i need to talk to people like you when i am trying to figure out how im going to survive...` |
Cosmic ..did u read my post??? Posted By: MSY68 at 9:57 PM GMT on August 27, 2005. helicopters are not available right now..there are alot of rigs being evcuated..and yes if i had 25K i could get one now.. |
southern lady have u taken any precasutions aginst this storm. while u may not see the worse u need to be prepared for no pwer for maybe a week. u need to get gas for your car. u need to get some cash to keep incase u can't use ur atm card. and secure ur property |
MSY.......why not get the helicopter in now, tonight, or tomorrow. |
Hello everyone new to this blog. Love all the hurricane talk and info. I have been watching these storms for all my life as I have lived in florida all my life. I am a surfer and offshore fisherman so this has been important in my life. My thoughts on Katrina are it will move nw and n before no. Even though the computer models all agree they have been known to be wrong like 2 days ago. Also this trough coming down though its weak this time of year might have some influence since Katrina has bee moving so slow. I dont think anyone in the gulf coast is out of the woods yet with a storm so powerful and that has a mind of her own. |
Sorry to all the meteorology 'experts' and 'amatures'...Please keep us updated...I'm only about 100 miles north of Gulfport, Ms. so I know this could very well affect me. (I remember Camille in Jackson) You need to get the info out to the people because the networks aren't doing a very good job. The rest of us can fill in with road conditions, motels, and first aid,(I'm retired medical field). Just ignore the 'adjusters' maybe they will go away... |
JoshFSU, Do you have a link for that model that shows an approach toward FLA? I can tell you, folks in pensacola don't really believe it's going to affect us much now that all the reports have said NOLA all day... The attitude in town today is radically different from yesterday. It's like you could almost hear a collective sigh of relief. I, on the other hand, am still watching the reports very closely and have made my preps... |
helicopters are not available right now..there are alot of rigs being evcuated..and yes if i had 25K i could get one now.. |
UM HELLO!!!! did I NOT say this half an hour ago???? |
Hey this is Kat again. Like I said before I don't know near as much about waether as most of you, but my gut feeling still stands. I think sometime this evening it is going to just start coming north. I'm in Panama City, and as much as I don't want it to hit near here I think it will. |
yeah the percentages is 45 percent for a storm with winds greater than 131mph, 30 percent for winds greater than 111-131 25 percent for winds 96-110 and les than 1 percent for winds 75-95 at landfall |
ELLSSUU in the Dominion Tower...in the French Quarter |
Thanks for the WWL tv link, but their weatherman saying that tracks out to 72 hours are ONLY 50-75 miles off what they actually are. The storm might come in at Mobile for all we know. Also...the anchorman stated that Biloxi would be spared a direct hit? What in the hell is he saying that for. I thought they had more professionals working at WWL tv? |
joshfsu, been telling my friends around Mobile not to look past that today... hearing from a friend of mine that the model run by the professors at South Alabama has it making the NE turn towards BLX after a brief landfall in extreme SE edge of LA... btw most people in Mobile dont seem to care either, no lines at the pump and very few people at the grocery store, no windows boarded up |
They why the hell do you want this monster to hit a population center? Don't you have a job driving out to flooding zones or the Category 1 landfall in Florida or fires in the NW or something? |
she is gaining latitude now, looking at the visible/nhc position overlay, Katrina is a bit North of that point |
leftyy420 you are right twc just gave the eye at 40nm |
Ummmm MSY.....if you have a friend with a helicopter, what are you waiting for. Why wait for the helicopter to take you out only IF you make it through the storm alive? Why not go out now. Doesn't seem like money would be an issue. I imagine that you could find quite a few people who would be willing to pay the full cost for an easy way out. |
I am holding true to my forecast for now Link but may have to shift it right if Katrina turns North more abruptly, also with the possibility of NE movement before landfall |
thks lefty....btw..local ch 4 meteorologist is saying 40% chance of a CAT 5 |
5:00 pm EDT Pressure: 945 mb 27.91 in Flight level: 9000 FT Eye Info: Eye diameter 40 miles Remarks: Max flight wind 137 mph Just shown on TWC from Hurricane Hunter flight investigating Katrina. Sounds like she is getting together and looks like she is gaining latitude on the Sat obs. |
BTW, just a heads up: I would watch out for a NE turn before landfall. The NAM model, part of the GFS I guess since they are on the same page, now has Katrina approaching Louisiana and then turning right and making landfall around Pensacola/Mobile area. Looking at the Water Vapor, this is not an impossible solution to this system. The 18Z GFS is currently in the process of being made according to the site but it was taking a similar path as the NAM to Louisiana but I wonder if it will swing east as well. Either way, as leftyy and others have been stating all day, Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle should be ready. The NHC didn't point out in the Discussion at 5pm that not every model agrees just for their health. The exact landfall point is still undetermined and any change can put you on the right front corner of the storm quite easily. |
pressure now down to 945. max flight level winds now 137mph |
CAt--actually this may not be a good idea...one bad thing..gas prices over $3.00...hmmmm |
MSY, what building are you staying in? If in the CBD I may get you to look and see if my building is okay, from a window ofcourse. |
SouthernLady, I agree. It's great to see an active blog but too many of the posts remind me of usenet. I read this article ealier this afternoon. Jeannette Gruboyianes' words made me realize how lucky I am that it's not headed towards Tampa and, if it were, how lucky I am that we have the means to get out of the way. |
Catchaser...you are just drooling over the money you can overcharge people to 'just get them to the point of their insurance, not to how their homes were before' you make me sick. Catchaser is a GOOD name for you...reminds me of an ambulance chasing lawer.... |
thanks lefty |

Jorge A. Riopedre, Executive Director
Mission statement
Casa de Salud provides high-quality clinical and mental health care for uninsured and underinsured patients, focusing on new immigrants and refugees who encounter barriers to accessing other sources of care.
Casa de Salud opened in 2010 on the medical campus of Saint Louis University to provide basic healthcare to the uninisured, especially within the Latino community, and to serve as a portal to other service providers throughout the region. Since its inception, Casa has had over 25,000 patient visits from twenty Missouri and Illinois counties for clinical care, behavioral health issues, and – in collaboration with People's Health Centers – Women, Infants and Children services. And now, with the launch of the St. Louis Mosaic Project and the region's new emphasis on welcoming the foreign born, Casa is also becoming part of the infrastructure that is necessary for achieving the Project's goal of making St. Louis the fastest growing U.S. metropolitan area for immigration by 2020.
Volunteer opportunities
Casa has numerous opportunities for volunteers. For those who speak Spanish, we are always in need of receptionists and interpreters. If you also have weekday availability, you could become a Casa Navigator, accompanying our patients when they are referred to partner agencies. For those who don't speak Spanish, there are administrative and technical opportunities. And if you are a medical provider (regardless of Spanish capability), Casa is a place where your skills can make a tremendous impact on the lives of individuals and their families. General internists are especially needed.

BYU football notebook: Keeping Riley Nelson healthy and on the field a priority for coaches
PROVO — One of the concerns for BYU offensive coordinator Brandon Doman going into the season is the health of his quarterback, Riley Nelson.
And for good reason. Nelson played in just a few games in 2010 before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury. He also missed playing time late last season after sustaining rib and lung injuries.
"I worry about it a lot," Doman said.
The tenacious Nelson will even play when he's injured. On the first play of the Armed Forces Bowl against Tulsa last December, Nelson fractured a rib, but didn't tell anyone — including Doman.
"He was throwing balls in the dirt. I didn't know what was going on," Doman remembered. "I was on the (press box) phone and I was mad. He said, 'I'm good, coach. I'm going to snap out of it.' I was like, 'C'mon, man.' It's a matter of us being really smart and calculated about when we use him to run. Ideally, you'd like him to be running when plays break down and defenses are dropping eight guys into coverage and he goes and gets what he needs to get. But I don't want to take away his grit and tenacity, either. He's going to do that. He's had a great offseason and looks good physically. Hopefully he'll hold up."
Nelson has worked hard to prepare himself for the physical toll that the season can take. On the other hand, he doesn't intend to change his playing style.
"I've learned a lot about my body, and how to train, how to eat and how to sleep and how to recover," Nelson said. "I'm taking care of that. A lot of people ask about playing and protecting myself. There's no way I'm going to change now. If I change now, it would be disastrous for me and the team. Once the lights come on and they kick the ball off, it's going to be the same old me. But I have taken extra measures to ensure that I am in the healthiest, most fit condition of my life going into the season. Hopefully that translates over to increased durability and increased health."
FAMILIAR FACE: WSU's outside receivers coach, Dennis Simmons, played linebacker at BYU from 1993-96. He later coached at BYU as a graduate assistant under LaVell Edwards.
"You kind of get an idea of their history because you were a part of it once before," Simmons told the Spokane Spokesman-Review about returning to Provo. "Other than that, it's (just) an opportunity to go out and play a game. The stands will be packed and the crowd will be loud. It makes for what you see on television as a kid watching college football."
SUCCESS IN OPENERS: BYU has won five straight season-openers, dating back to 2007. Washington State coach Mike Leach, meanwhile, is 9-1 as a head coach in openers, and his teams have won seven openers in a row.

Offline mode considered, rejected for SimCity
SimCity's always-online requirement hasn't gotten off to the best start, with long server queues greeting players immediately upon launch. Things have improved, according to Maxis, but gamers have to be wondering if the game could have been offline from the start, especially since some modders are able to play it without an active Internet connection. Earlier today, Maxis' general manager Lucy Bradshaw revealed an offline mode was considered for the new SimCity, but was rejected since it didn't fit with the team's "vision."
To start, Bradshaw listed a variety of reasons on why SimCity is a multiplayer and online-driven experience. Those include things like simulation data for the region, world challenges and events, Great Works, gifting between players, Global Market, and leaderboards to make sure no one is cheating. All can be seen as valid reasons for the always-online, but Bradshaw's concluding remarks offer the best explanation yet:
So, could we have built a subset offline mode? Yes. But we rejected that idea because it didn't fit with our vision. We did not focus on the "single city in isolation" that we have delivered in past SimCities. We recognize that there are fans – people who love the original SimCity – who want that. But we're also hearing from thousands of people who are playing across regions, trading, communicating and loving the Always-Connected functionality. The SimCity we delivered captures the magic of its heritage but catches up with ever-improving technology.
So there you have it. SimCity could have been an offline game, but Maxis rejected it since it wanted a different experience than previous games. Bradshaw even states the new game is like an MMO, which most definitely is something new for the SimCity games. Plenty can be debated on the validity of that design decision, but Maxis is at least sticking to its guns for now.
So, hearing the explanation from Bradshaw, do you agree with it or still hope offline can be "patched" in later?
> Decide to build a new city
> Try to connect to servers
> Fail
> Go on Amazon.com
> Buy SimCity for Snes
> Wait for shipping
> Enjoy
as much as i dislike how pirates have slowly turned into disgusting parasites over the years that makes life invent shitty remedies like this the brains at EA are some of the most untrustworthy folks out there. whenever they and their merry henchmen screw up some official spokesmen always seem to cover it up with half patched excuses that seem like they always hide something behind their backs.
simcity can be played offline, EA just didn't want people to *bleep* with it and screwed themselves instead. it's just the nature of the beast to be paranoid. end of discussion!
quote RabidChinaGirlIt's pretty much the same thing now. After Maxis was bought by EA, and after Will Wright left this is what the result is.Bradshaw has been on full PR mode since launch. Honestly, I think she's doing a great job, but I think most people have an issue with EA, not Maxis.
Great way to a run a company there.
I find this hard to believe,
quote Jactually if you ignore the connectivity problems (i know ) it makes sense.thousands of people loving the Always-Connected functionality
I find this hard to believe,
with that logic i can say thousands of people enjoy E.T the game but at the same time i wisely keep my mouth shut about everyone else that might not have. it's a dirty move really. the idea is to find things out after the seal has been broken.
this thread reminds me why i should cherish small and independent game companies so much. too much money is bad for people. granted they don't always have the resources to make things it feels good not to have a forked tongue slithering near my ears once in a while.

Not-lifelong-Republican John Lott addresses Obama's gun rights record
Tweet |
Obama knows he's weak on guns. Real weak. He's setting up a bunch of "lifelong Republicans" and astroturf Zumbos* like the American Hunters' Arms Are For Hugging to vouch for him, but he's not fooling anybody who doesn't want to be fooled.
Least of all a former-liberal scholar named John Lott, who knows quite a bit about the social science of the Second Amendment and zeroes in on the candidate's evasions:
A candidate questionnaire shows that Mr. Obama supported a ban on handguns in 1996. In 1998, he backed a ban on the sale of all semiautomatic guns (a ban that would encompass the vast majority of guns sold in the U.S.) In 2004, he advocated banning gun sales within five miles of a school or park (essentially a ban on all guns sold in almost all the states). Possibly, even more importantly, he served on the board of the Joyce Foundation, probably the largest private funder of anti-gun and pro-ban groups and research in the country.
The Obama campaign "flatly denied" the 1996 statement supporting a ban on handguns, blaming it instead on a staffer from his state senate race who they said had incorrectly filled out the candidate questionnaire. But the Politico obtained a copy of the statement and found Mr. Obama's own handwritten notes on it indicating that he had personally checked and corrected answers.
Me, I'm waiting for the inevitable shooting-related Obama photo-op somewhere that will prove he's really a common, well-grounded fellow who knows his breech from his muzzle. What will it be? Duck hunting? Skeet? Rimfire rifles with the Boy Scouts? Whatever it is, the photoshoppers are gearing up…
And whatever it is, I hope the injuries are minimal.
*haven't heard the term "Zumbo"? Here you go.
UPDATE: Commenters are speculating on what that inevitable pro-2nd Amendment photo-op might look like. The See-Dubya graphics department offers this artist's conception of Obama's trip to the range, where he's coached in the shooting sports by "a guy who lives in his neighborhood" named Bill Ayers.
See, you've got to dress just right to go shooting with Bill Ayers–and evoke exactly the right radical-chic image:
Artist's gleeful conception.

I do hope Google re-visit their policy on Authorship, however, as I think it's important to have that distinction between more credible content and lower quality copy.

Tesla, Panasonic Sign Battery Gigafactory Deal
Electric automaker Tesla Motors has reached an agreement with electronics giant Panasonic Corp to build a massive US battery plant.
Panasonic, Tesla's current battery cell supplier, said Thursday it will manufacture and supply cylindrical lithium-ion cells and invest in the equipment, machinery and other tools based on the two companies mutual approval. Meanwhile, Tesla will prepare, provide and manage the land, buildings and utilities.
Panasonic did not reveal how much it will invest into the gigafactory. Tesla has said it could cost as much as $5 billion.
In February, Tesla revealed plans to build a 10-million-square-foot facility, or gigafactory, to produce more lithium-ion batteries annually by 2020 than were made worldwide in 2013.
The Palo Alto, Calif.-based automaker estimates the gigafactory will have the capacity to produce 50 gigawatt hours of battery packs a year by 2020. The battery packs will be used for its existing Model S luxury sedan and a cheaper next-generation vehicle, to be called the Model 3. The plant will also produce cells, modules and packs for the stationary storage market.
In June, CEO Elon Musk opened up all the patents for his company's electric vehicle technology in an attempt to accelerate the adoption of zero-emission vehicles "Tesla will not initiate patent lawsuits against anyone who, in good faith, wants to use our technology."

Stokes says he didn't seek advice from Katz like Busch did from Jacob
- E.B. Solomont
- Reporter- St. Louis Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Facebook
Anheuser-Busch used its discretion to raise the salaries of its top executives, former CEO Pat Stokes said in court on Monday.
Stokes, testifying in the gender discrimination suit brought against A-B by former communications executive Francine Katz, said the brewery used "market rates" as the basis for executive compensation. "We'd adjust those market rates appropriately," said Stokes, who served as CEO from 2002 to 2006.
But according to Katz's suit, filed in 2009, her pay as vice president of corporate communications and consumer education did not match her duties. She made about $1 million a year, compared with her predecessor John Jacob, who earned $4.5 million in 2001.
On Monday, Katz attorney Mary Anne Sedey introduced evidence showing that Katz's benchmark, the measure A-B used for determing compensation, did not match her job duties.
In 2003 and 2004, both Katz and Terri Vogt, A-B's vice president of public relations, were benchmarked as "public relations," although Katz was Vogt's boss. In 2006, after Vogt's benchmark was switched to "second level public relations," a footnote in a compensation document reads: "Is there a higher level communications match? Vogt is really public relations?"
Turning to Stokes, Sedey said: "Doesn't that indicate to you that people on your compensation staff are concerned that Francine Katz has got the wrong benchmark?"
"It doesn't," Stokes said. "I don't know who wrote it and I don't know what they meant."
A-B has argued that Katz's role was largely one of public relations, and that she didn't play the same role as Jacob, who was August Busch III's closest advisor.
Stokes said on Monday that he didn't seek advice from Katz the way Busch sought advice from Jacob because he looked for input from people in "functional" areas. Asked by Sedey if that meant he turned to those he was most "comfortable" with, he said, "I may have said that in my deposition, but I worked for August Busch III for 31 years. I was at the company for 38 years. He and I knew each other very well."
Earlier in the day, compensation expert James Reda testified on behalf of Katz's side that A-B "inflated" titles to increase pay.
A-B attorney Gabriel Gore said Katz was paid more than public relations executives at other comparable companies. In 2003, she took home $1.5 million, more than the median pay of $524,000 for PR executives that year.
Last week, jurors heard from August Busch III, who flatly denied gender discrimination at A-B. August Busch IV is expected to testify on Tuesday.

Aged Out of Church
To add a comment you need to be a registered user or Christianity Today subscriber.
Ask anyone who's hit midlife, and they'll tell you: this stage is no joke for us.
The emotional, spiritual, physical, and relational shifts that occur at midlife can lead to disconnection from old social networks and a profound sense of loneliness, which brings with it serious health risks. At this point, many also feel drained by the increasingly common occurrence of death, disease, divorce, and the changes that redefine old friendships.
And yet, rather than engage these important but uncomfortable issues that come with aging, our culture—including, at times, the church—would rather laugh it off. We see midlife as a caricature: the man with a bad comb over buying a red convertible or a thick-waisted woman drenched with sweat after her internal thermostat cranks itself up to the "temporary inferno" setting. We make the middle-aged into a punchline:
Sure, the jokes are funny in a late-night TV monologue kind of way, but for Christians, midlife needs to be more than merely a punchline.
Church should be a place of meaningful connection with God and others at every stage of our lives, but nearly half of more than 450 people who participated in an informal and completely unscientific survey I hosted on my blog last year told me that their local church had in some painful ways exacerbated the challenges they faced at midlife. As a result, they'd downshifted their involvement in the local church from what it had been a decade ago.
George Barna's far more precise 2011 State Of The Church survey highlighted that Boomers are leaving the church in numbers that we usually think of when we talk about the exodus of the Millennial generation: "…during the past 20 years the percentage of unchurched Boomers has risen dramatically, jumping up 18 points! At 41 percent, they are now the generation most likely to be unchurched, surpassing the 39 percent level among Busters."
Some "downshifters" who took my survey told me they felt they'd spiritually outgrown their churches. Others who'd become less involved explained that time factored into their commitment level. Launching adult kids, caring for aging parents, dealing with personal or spousal health issues, or increased work responsibilities cut into time they had to commit to church activities.

Salad Fingers A strange cartoon about a creature who loves to touch rusty metal.
Author Comments
I apologized to Dave about a few things I said, but I still don't like salad fingers. I got nothing against the guy personally and he knows it now.
As for you fans taking this personally, I want to see your flashes of me being shat upon or whatever.. Sounds funny :p
....and people say I've got too much spare time.
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
the barrel on the DE was a little short.
Yeah, I can understand how someone can hate salad fingers. I got a little uncomfortable watching it, and the DE was a little too small to be a 50, so was a brass.
Rated 3 / 5 stars
Ok im giving this a rating above 0 because it made me laugh and i thought fair enough its an ok joke and im basing the vote on the quality of the cartoon and not its maker.
Then I read the other reviews.... dude seriously you come accross as such a twat. If you hate salad fingers and apparently its for goth's and under 18's why goto the trouble making a cartoon about it?
The answer is quite obviously because I dont' like salad fingers. I'm only a twat to shitbags who can't express themselves in ways other than saying 'fag' and 'fuck you'.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
wow tehs is baellshit y dont u liek sallerd fingaz he r0x0r wow u r jaust a nuerd who w8ss ur time

Anyway, good work on pissing off nearly everyone on this website with one 30 second flash cartoon!
By the way, i liked your drawing of salad fingers.
Rated 3 / 5 stars
Could've done a LOT more with it, but such is life
The last song sounds like this little light of mine. Seriously. It's all in the same key. If you hum it with it, you get a sort of harmony. That was the most fun part of the flash. The person obviously dislikes salad fingers, and Being a Salad Fingers lover, I completely respect his opinion. I personally would've gone a little farther with it before simply shooting the character, but that's just me.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
finally some has put salad fingers to death and done us all a favor good jobits good that some has killed ty and who ever animated this did a good job of replicating the salad fingers from the real thing to death with slalad fingers

Hearing Set in Case Against Ex-MA Treasurer
A hearing is scheduled in the case against ex-state Treasurer Timothy Cahill and two of his former aides. WAMC's Tristan O'Neill reports...
Cahill is accused of airing taxpayer-funded ads for the state lottery as a means of promoting his own unsuccessful campaign for governor in 2010. He has denied any wrongdoing.
Scott Campbell, Cahill's former top aide, and Alfred Grazioso, the lottery's former chief of staff, have also pleaded not guilty.
A pre-trial conference is scheduled for Wednesday in Suffolk Superior Court. It wasn't known if Cahill would attend.
He's charged with violating state ethics laws and procurement fraud, and conspiracy to violate those laws.
Cahill served two terms as treasurer as a Democrat before running for governor as an independent. The state treasurer oversees the lottery.

Taser International Says Their Device Might Kill A Person
Well, here's an interesting note to kick off the morning.
Attention Taser Owners: if you have one, don't shoot someone in the chest with them. You could kill them.
According to an October 12th training bulletin, Taser International–the company that makes the new must-have law enforcement gadget–says that firing one into a subject's chest has an "extremely low" risk of causing–get this–an "adverse cardiac event".
If you're thinking "makes heart stop / explode / turn into a blackened lump in your chest", you're thinking about the same way I am. This is the first time Taser International has ever suggested that there's any risk of fatality with the Taser at all, and frankly, it's downright terrifying. The chest is a vastly bigger target than any limb–they call it the "center of mass" shot for a reason–so to claim that every time someone uses a Taser, the target just might DIE, is a reason to rethink the whole concept of issuing Tasers to cops.
Don't tase me, bro…it takes on a whole new meaning when you know it might kill you.

Sami Khedira transfer latest: Gunners 'move' for Germany midfielder Khedira and international team-mate Lars Bender after Alexis Sanchez capture
Arsene Wenger wants to add another world class player to his ranks and Khedira has been strongly linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium.
Saturday 12 July 2014
Arsenal are targeting moves for Germany duo Sami Khedira and Lars Bender following the signing of Barcelona attacker Alexis Sanchez.
The Gunners unveiled the 25-year-old on Thursday, with the Chilean signing a long-term contract after the two clubs agreed a fee believed to be in the region of £35 million.
And with the club confirming their new bumper kit deal with Puma, Arsene Wenger still has a sizeable amount left to spend, with Real Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira reportedly top of his wishlist.

The French boss is ready to make the 27-year-old the highest-paid player at the club with a deal worth £150,000-a-week, although it is thought that the Spanish club's asking price of £20 million is too high.
Khedira has had an excellent World Cup campaign with Germany and is likely to play in Sunday's Final at the Maracana but his club future is less certain. He has been tipped to depart the Santiago Bernabeu this summer after four years at the club, with compatriot Toni Kroos rumoured to be heading to Spain.
Chelsea are also thought to be in the running for the former Stuttgart schemer, with Jose Mourinho keen to link up with Khedira again after signing him after the 2010 World Cup during his tenure at the La Liga giants, and Arsenal could miss out.
Arsenal are interested in Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Lars Bender
If he fails to land Khedira, Wenger could move for Lars Bender. The highly-rated Bayer Leverkusen midfielder, who could be available for around £18 million, was included in Joachim Löw's 30-man provisional squad but was ruled out with a thigh injury.
The Telegraph report that the Arsenal boss is looking to revive his interest in Bender after having a bid rejected last summer, and with his salary demands likely to be half of Khedira's, 25-year-old Bender could be a more realistic signing in the economic sense.

Pakistan is generating global headlines due to its controversial anti-blasphemy laws. The arrest and imprisonment of an 11-year-old Christian girl for allegedly burning pages of the Noorani Qaida may be shocking, but it's only one of the eight to 15 cases of blasphemy that reach the Pakistani courts annually.
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
9/7/2012 (2 years ago)
Published in Asia Pacific
Keywords: Pakistan, blasphemy, laws, mob violence, justice
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The majority of the blasphemy cases involve members of the Muslim majority here - rather than Pakistan's Christians, Hindus and Ahmadis who are charged.
Without a legal definition of blasphemy in the Pakistan Penal Code, the strict anti-blasphemy laws here are ripe for misuse and abuse. Those accused of blasphemy usually arise from personal and religious rivalries.
The punishment for those found guilty can range from a fine to death. However, there has never been an execution of a person charged with blasphemy in Pakistan. Convictions typically result in a prison sentence of at least three years.
There is a high rate of acquittal upon appeal. Unfortunately, the legal avenues for redress usually end in mob justice. When somebody is accused of blasphemy, they, their family and their community will likely be targeted.
Many feel the laws currently on the books run counter with Pakistan's founder, Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
"You may belong to any religion, caste or creed that has nothing to do with the business of the state. In due course of time, Hindus will cease to be Hindus and Muslims will cease to be Muslims - not in a religious sense for that is the personal faith of an individual - but in a political sense as citizens of one state," declared Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Pakistan's founder, in his first address to the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan on August 11, 1947.
In the latest instance, many of the Christian neighbors of the accused 11-year old reportedly fled their homes in the slum area of Islamabad where the Christian community is largely located. They claimed either fear of attack, or reports that senior members of the Muslim community allegedly pressured landlords to evict Christian tenants.
A man suspected of being mentally ill and accused of throwing pages of the Quran onto a street last month was hauled out from police custody in southern Punjab by a mob of hundreds, beaten to death, and his body set ablaze.
"What comes with the mob mentality is that people would not even want to verify [the facts of a case]," Ejaz Akram, professor at Lahore University of Management Sciences says. "Mob psychology overrules common sense ... Everything is seen as black and white [and] the most unintelligent with the loudest voice commands the mob."
There have been 34 suspected extrajudicial killings of people accused of blasphemy between 1990 and 2010. Of those, 15 were Muslims, 16 were Christians, two were Ahmadis and one was a Hindu. They were either killed extra-judicially or found dead in prison under suspicious circumstances. Thirty-one of those deaths occurred in Punjab.
"Nobody has read the blasphemy law. Nobody understands which clauses were added when and why," Syed Zaid Hamid, a political commentator says. "It has become a weapon that is being used in sectarian wars. Facts and figures show that it is used against Muslims as well. The real problem lies with the interpretation of the law.
"We are against the religious fanatics who exploit this law. There are fundamental flaws in it," he adds.

United Hatzalah program honors our survivors, war veterans with specialized medical care
Do you ever get the feeling you're really living in a television program? For 2011 America, the rerun we are collectively forced to act in is "That '70s Show."
Supermarket prices have skyrocketed. An energy crisis looms. The economy sputters along. Back then, the president imposed price controls on oil as a misguided means to keep consumer costs under control; now, the president is poised to implement price controls as part of his health care plan. People talk openly of an America in decline.
We may have traded in CB radios for Facebook, Betamax for Blu-ray and eight-tracks for MP3s. But the similarities between our times and those times are uncanny.
"I believe we can have a foreign policy that is democratic, that is based on fundamental values, and that uses power and influence, which we have, for humane purposes," Jimmy Carter announced at Notre Dame's 1977 commencement ceremonies.
The 39th president committed America to regarding "human rights as a fundamental tenet of our foreign policy."
"Sometimes, the course of history poses challenges that threaten our common humanity and our common security," Barack Obama explained in his recent televised address on the Libyan intervention. He continued that America, by working alongside allies, should "see that the principles of justice and human dignity are upheld by all."
One hears the echoes of Carter not only in the call for a foreign policy occasionally divorced from national interest and tethered to human rights. The echoes reverberate loudest in the way foreign policy is carried out in the Middle East. The Carter administration in 1979, and the Obama administration in 2011, cheered on the fall of a garden-variety strongman as the dawn of something better.
The Shah of Iran, like Egypt's Hosni Mubarak, was a U.S. ally in an unfriendly region. Both were sick old men who had ruled their countries for more than a generation. Mubarak stood by an unpopular peace treaty with Israel while the Shah supplied the Jewish state with oil. Both men stood athwart religious fanatics threatening their regimes. Both sometimes did so through unsavory means.
By dwelling on the ways in which the Shah and Mubarak were like other Middle Eastern rulers, and overlooking the ways in which they differed from neighboring strongmen, Presidents Carter and Obama undercut longtime U.S. allies. The local currents were probably too strong for distant presidents to hold back regional change in 1979 and 2011. But transfixing on the human rights abuses of the dictator in power left them blind to the human rights abuses that might follow their departures.
When events went sour in Iran and Egypt, President Carter and President Obama reversed course on support for dictators who had supported the United States.
"We encouraged him to hang firm and to count on our backing," Carter confided to his diary regarding the Shah on November 2, 1978. But within two months, as he explained in his memoir Keeping Faith, that backing had backtracked: "The reports I was receiving from the CIA, the State Department, and from diplomats of other countries, led me also to feel the Shah would have to leave."
Worse than Carter's vacillating, which took on comedic proportions during the on-again off-again invitation for asylum to the ailing Shah, was the administration's forked-tongue policy. Whereas Carter publicly backed the Shah, U.S. ambassador to Iran William Sullivan, and numerous figures within Carter's State Department, undermined the Shah – and Carter's stated policy. "Ambassador Sullivan," Carter recalls in Keeping Faith, "was recommending that we oppose the plans of the Shah, insist on his immediate departure, and try to form some kind of friendship or alliance with Khomeini . Sullivan thought we should not oppose Khomeini's take-over because his rule would lead to democracy."
Thirty-three years later, top Obama administration officials were similarly all over the board in their take on Mubarak's continued rule. "I would not refer to him as a dictator," Vice President Joe Biden said of Mubarak on January 27, and rejected the idea that the Egyptian leader should resign. Hillary Clinton similarly characterized Mubarak's government as "stable." Within days, the president called for an "orderly transition" in Egypt that "must be meaningful, it must be peaceful, and it must begin now."
The world still deals with Carter's Iranian missteps. Should the Muslim Brotherhood or worse fill the leadership void in Egypt, the world may be reeling from the fallout three decades from now. The downside of allowing human rights to guide foreign policy is that often human rights paradoxically suffer. Anyone watching that '70s show could have avoided replaying those mistakes in this '70s show.
Ironically, the president who Obama so resembles on Middle Eastern policy is not impressed with his efforts. "I don't have any feeling of success for what President Obama had done in the Middle East," remarked Jimmy Carter at the LBJ presidential library in February. Tellingly, Carter concedes that Obama had dealt with the Egyptian crisis "about the same way I'd have handled it if I'd been in office."
The original '70s show ended when a Democratic president lost his reelection bid and his Republican successor more than halved top tax rates, backed the Fed in tightening money, lifted price controls on oil, and pursued America's just interests abroad that ironically achieved his predecessor's unrealized aim of furthering human rights.
Next year, American viewers determine whether this low-rated '70s repeat gets cancelled – or reruns in syndication for four more years.
