text: Amazon warehouse worker pay suit heads to Supreme Court by Claire Zillman @FortuneMagazine March 3, 2014, 8:48 PM EDT E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons FORTUNE — Security lines. They are the worst. And many workers have to pass through them every day. The U.S. Supreme Court decided on Monday to tackle the question of whether the time spent waiting in those lines is deserving of hourly pay. The Supreme Court said that it would hear a class action lawsuit filed in 2010 by former employees of Amazon AMZN contractor Integrity Security Systems who claim that, under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), they deserve back pay for the time they spent in security checks at the beginning and end of the day, which the warehouse mandated to prevent employee theft. The workers were "required to wait at least 10 to 15 minutes each day, and often more than a half hour, at the beginning and end of each shift without compensation whatsoever in order to undergo a search for contraband and/or pilferage of inventory," the complaint says. Integrity Security contends that the security screenings are similar to other tasks — such as waiting to punch the clock or walking to and from the workplace — that are non-compensable under the FLSA. Amazon said on Monday that it doesn't comment on pending litigation. MORE: How the markets should read Ukraine's crisis The Supreme Court never explains why it accepts or rejects a case, but the widespread use of security checks in workplaces likely carried a lot of weight. In petitioning the Supreme Court to take the case, Integrity's lawyer, Paul Clement, argued that "in the post-9/11 world, security screenings have become ubiquitous in the American workplace and are routinely required for employees working in skyscrapers, corporate campuses, federal, state, and local government officers, courthouses, sports arenas, museums, airports, power plants, theme parks, and countless other places." Allowing the Nevada workers' suit to go forward, Clement argued, "opens employers up to billions of dollars in retroactive damages." Indeed, after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit let the Nevada workers' case continue, other employees filed similar nationwide class actions against Amazon distribution centers in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Washington state. Workers at a regional distribution center sued CVS Pharmacy cvs in September 2012 over its security checks, and tens of thousands of workers sued Apple AAPL in July 2013 because it requires its hourly retail employees to go through bag searches and clearance checks. Wage and hour lawsuits in general — in which workers accuse their employers of unfair pay practices — is one of the few areas of workplace litigation that's on the rise. There were 7,882 lawsuits filed under the FLSA last year, up about 3% from 2012, according to the Annual Workplace Class Action Litigation Report from law firm Seyfarth Shaw. Many of the lawsuits hinge on what sort of activity constitutes the compensable workday, says Gerald Maatman, a labor and employment lawyer at Seyfarth, who is representing a third-party contractor in one of the Amazon lawsuits. MORE: The one good thing about cyberattacks The Supreme Court's decision in the Integrity case will at least give a definitive answer to the question of whether security checks should be included in the payable workday. Other courts have tackled this issue before: the Eleventh Circuit evaluated whether airport employees deserved pay for their time in the security line, and the Second Circuit decided the issue as it related to workers at a nuclear power plant. In both cases, the courts sided with the employers. But the Integrity case is different and a fairer test of the issue because it's the employer itself — Integrity Security — that mandated the security checks, not an outside authority like the Transportation Security Administration. That means the outcome of the Integrity case will apply to a "greater variety of companies," says Mark Batten, a labor and employment lawyer at Proskauer Rose. "It will have a lot of impact on a lot of businesses."

The Crown and Court Duet Crown Duel and Court Duel | ||||||||||
Sherwood Smith | ||||||||||
Harcourt Brace Books, 214 and 245 pages | ||||||||||
A review by Rich Horton
I remember with fondness the
days of the so-called "Juvenile to Please Adults" books, and I
still read with pleasure Heinlein's juveniles, for instance. I celebrate all attempts to publish full-fledged
SF/fantasy for young adults which will still be good reading for,
say, me. To this end, Tor's Jupiter series of YA Science Fiction
deserves praise, and Jane Yolen's now defunct series of YA Fantasy,
published by Harcourt Brace, deserves praise, and lamentations at its end.
Sherwood Smith, co-author (with Dave Trowbridge) of the much prized,
hard to find, space opera series collectively titled Exordium,
and of a few novels with Andre Norton, wrote five YA fantasies for Jane Yolen
Books. The Wren Trilogy is an engaging series of books about 12-year old
Wren, and her discovery of her magical abilities amidst threats of
war. Better still are The Crown and Court Duet, two
books set apparently in Wren's world, featuring 16-year old Countess
Meliara Astiar, and her bumbling but passionate entrance into the
worlds of politics and war.
The first book is Crown Duel. Meliara, who narrates the books, and her brother
Bran are struggling to make ends meet after the death of their
father. They are now Count and Countess of Tlanth, a remote hilly
portion of the Kingdom of Remalna. The corrupt King is raising
taxes, and, worse, appears to be ready to violate the Covenant
humans have with the mysterious hill folk. Humans have agreed to
leave the forests undisturbed, especially the beautiful colourwood
trees, and in exchange the Hill Folk supply the humans with magical firewood.
Meliara and Bran are very poor, partly from trying to deflect the
burden of taxation from their people--thus, they live more like peasants
that peers. The two are just reaching the age at which they will start
to pair, and eventually marry. But Meliara, at least, evinces no interest in such things.
As the book opens, the political situation comes to a head, and
Meliara, Bran and their people rise in revolt. Smith entertainingly
describes an ill-run war, which after some early success leads to
humiliating defeat for the poor, undermanned Tlanth
people. Meliara is captured, and taken to the Remalna capital city.
She encounters the Marquis of Shevraeth, proud commander of the
King's forces whose skill had turned the tide against Tlanth,
and takes a sudden fierce dislike to him. The book continues with
harrowing escapes, nicely described wandering through the backroads
of the country, and a final confrontation with the King's forces.
Court Duel takes up after the war. The bad King has been
vanquished, and the Marquis of Shevraeth is the leading candidate
for the throne. The court is full of political wiles, however, and
some people think Meliara or her brother should either push their
own claims or support another.
Meliara at last consents to spend
some time in court and we are treated to some entertaining descriptions
of artificial court life and manners, including details resulting
from things like not being able to use wood for furniture. She is
a fish out of water, and finally finds a secret friend, with whom
she exchanges a series of letters in which she is able to express
her concerns about the false nature of court life, even as she
begins to understand the reasoning behind the rules. Meliara remains confused about who her real friends are, and
about whether the Marquis -- who is clearly capable but whom she still
distrusts -- or some other claimant, should be King. The matter is
pushed to a head by a very interesting, slightly underused (I thought)
character, a man named Flauvic who also has a claim to the throne,
and who has spent some time learning powerful magic in a foreign
kingdom. The general shape of the ending is easy to see in
advance, but the details are nicely revealed.
Both these books are, first of all, great reads. Very few books
keep me up at night to finish them, but Crown Duel
did, and I took an unplanned extended lunch break to finish
Court Duel. They are nice formal contrasts: the first
almost all action and war, the second more magic and formal
court life. If I had a mild complaint, it would be that in both
books the Hill Folk serve as sort of dei ex machina. But
this is minor, and does little to detract from the pleasures of
reading these two books.
I'm not quite ready to rule on how these would appeal
to the supposed target age group (teens, I would think), though
I'm sure I'd have loved them then, just as I did now. Among other
things, they feature a well-done, very understated, sexual
tension, never vulgar, that greatly enhances our interest in the
main characters. The world they inhabit isn't quite
fully-furnished; I don't think books these short can do that, but
the odd details are telling and nice. Highly recommended -- buy
them fast before they go Out of Stock Indefinitely.

Fish, G. Stowe (ed.).
The Harris Masterson, Jr. Papers are arranged in four series:
The papers originally were part of the deposit of the Masterson Family Collection given by Harris Masterson, III (HMJr.'s nephew) in 1966. They were separated from the original deposit in May, 1998.
Harris Masterson, Jr. Papers, 1894-1920, MS 469, Woodson Research Center, Fondren Library, Rice University
Judge Harris Masterson Papers MS#468
Harris Masterson, III Papers MS#470
James Lockhart Autry Papers addenda MS#412
Autry House; Carroll and Harris Masterson, III; Neill T. Masterson and Libbie J. Masterson information/vertical files, Woodson Research Center.
The collection originally was placed in Hollinger boxes without any preservation or organizational efforts. Some of the collection had been wet and mildewed; concerns have been addressed. Since the papers were subdivided from a much larger collection, the Masterson Family Collection, information about the Masterson family and business, cultural and social life of Houston may also be found in complementary collections of the Judge Harris Masterson Papers MS#468 and Harris Masterson, III Papers MS#470.
Permission to publish material from the Harris Masterson, Jr. Papers must be obtained from the Woodson Research Center, Fondren Library.
No access restrictions; this material is open for research.
The collection, totaling nine document boxes, covers Harris Masterson, Jr.'s life from his schooling through his career with the YMCA. Highlights include correspondence with family members, photographs, school materials and his career.
Harris Masterson, Jr., born June 22, 1881, Brazoria, TX, was the son of Judge Harris Masterson and Sallie Stewart Turner. A graduate of the University of the South in Sewanee, TN (1904) and the Episcopal Theological School of Cambridge [Harvard] (1907), Masterson began his career as chaplain of All Saint's, Austin, TX, 1908-11. He worked with the YMCA in China (Hankow and Wuchang, 1911-16) and the US (1916-17), and became a Red Cross chaplain in 1918. He came to Houston in 1919 to become the organizer, director and chaplain of a community house for Rice Institute students, later known as Autry House. Masterson was active in civic and educational affairs and served in various positions including chairman of the Building Committee of the Houston Public Library Board and as a Trustee for the University of the South. In 1925 he married Elizabeth Simpkins who shared his work with Rice students. The Mastersons moved to France to work with American students in Paris and returned to Austin, TX in 1926 for Masterson to become Rector of All Saint's Chapel. He resigned in Oct. 1935 and died in Austin in Nov. 1935.

Dangerous close call
I was reading something earlier that jogged my memory of an incident that happened to me this past summer. I'm a flight engineer on the E-3 AWACS in the Air Force. I'm thinking it was around June sometime, we were flying into Tinker AFB in Oklahoma City. Off the south end of the base, about 6 or 7 miles away, is an RC airplane club. Anyways, we were doing an ILS approach to runway 35 there and were about 1,200 feet above the ground. As we were passing near the RC field, one of the pilots grabbed the yoke, banked the plane to the left while saying "what the hell is that?" I looked out and saw what looked to be a Telemaster less than 100 feet away. The RC pilot flying it, must have been a complete imbecile. I only knew there was an RC club there, because I used to live in OKC. I E-mailed the club officers for that club, but never heard back from any of them. There's no real point to this post. I just felt like telling somebody. Don't let people at your club do a dumb stunt like that. If they do, hit them like Terry Tate. I'd imagine that the Air Force would not be happy if they lost a $400 million airplane and 30 people due to a guy with an RC plane. It wouldn't be good for the club.

I think there's a very valid point to your post. An R/C model only 100" feet away??? Even 500' away would be irresponsible. There seems to be ONE imbecile in any group and that one person can make life difficult for the rest. If I were that club's president I would encourage you, or a representative of that AFB to pay the club a visit. Rather than an OFFICIAL visit, due to necessity, a friendly visit to impress and convey the seriousness of an irresponsible pilot's flight into full scale airspace.
There's no such thing as an accident. |

The AMA has decided to interpret the FAA regulations (AC 91-57) to be that the 400 foot limit for model aircraft only applies when within 3 miles of an airport. Given the relative speeds of a Telemaster and a E-3 AWACS he may have been trying to get out of the way but was just too slow.
The incident shows the fallacy of the AMA interpretation. AC 91-57 which actually only recommends, actually says 400 feet above the surface, and to notify the airport if within 3 miles of it. http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgAdvisoryCircular.nsf/0/1acfc3f689769a56862569e70077c9cc/$FILE/ATTBJMAC/ac91-57.pdf |
it would kinda appear to me, that, even with the period after the 400 ft part of the recommendation, that there needs to be a look at the distance from an active airport part with an eye to extending that to maybe 6-7 miles radius.

Not to minimize the danger presented by having RC Aircraft in the same airspace as full scale, and not to diminish the idiocy of any RC pilot that irresponsible near full scale aircraft, but having flown military aircraft since I was 17 years old and having hit several things in my 24 years of flying, I seriously doubt you would have "lost a $400 M aircraft and 30 people" from hitting a Telemaster even if you'd taken it in the windshield or engine, that's exactly why we practice EP's. Let's present the danger, but be realistic at the same time and not resort to scare tactics.

Couple of questions for the full scale hopefully military pilots:
Is 1200 foot altitude normal at 6 to 7 miles out? What speed would a E-3 be at,over 200 mph? Why would there be a RC Club in the normal approach pattern to Timker AFB runway 35? THe AMA says there is not a 400 foot limit when more then 3 miles from an airport and since the Telemaster cruses at say 25 mph did he even have time to get out of the way? Not in any way to say excuse the fact that the RC pilot must always yield to full size,but this sound like a problem in where the club is located. |
You don't think a chunk of metal (engine) the size of your fist or bigger wouldn't do anything to the turbine blades in the engine? When ya have some spare $ sometime, stand off to the side of a running jet engine an casually toss a os.46 into it an see what happens. |
^^^ That's not what he said.
Yeah really. An RC plane takes out a military aircraft. If you think they're that weak I'd reconsider even getting in one. You know they're made for this lame thing called a war where missiles and other baddie things are shot at them. On the 1200'. That had to be the cruising altitude before the approach. I just check the Oakland airport approach (Google Earth) and there is a private airport directly under the approach path at 5 miles. Not an RC club but the Hayward airport. For certain small planes are flying in the pattern up to 800 feet around the Hayward airport. |
Seems like everybody that posts here that isn't one of the regular good ol' boys, is considered a liar when they post something such as your post here. But thats alright, I know what a chunk of metal the size of a rc engine will do to a jet engine. |

Anyway, back in the early eighties one of the guys I regularly flew with had a Telemaster also. One day, despite many admonitions against such, he was flying his Telemaster at a very high altitude. Well, along comes a commercial airliner ascending from a local airport. Even though the planes were not even close to a collision the Full Scale pilot made a hard evasive turn as he probably thought the model was a full scale of some sort. Well... guess what? The next day the flying site was permanently closed to RC. We lost one of the best flying sites ever due to the incident... Never figured out what was to be proved by flying so high low, slow and in control is much more impressive IMO. |

The point here is that no model aircraft should disrupt the flight of a full scale aircraft!

The question I would like an answer to is if the RC club is in the flight path to runway 35 at Tinker AFB, and if planes are at 1200 foot on approach, why would anybody fly higher then 400 foot, even though the AMA says it is OK as long as you are more then 3 miles from ann airport. Is 1200 foot 6 miles from the air base normal or an exception? The RC pilot is still absolutely required to not disrupt a full size flight, but I would like to know if he was an idiot or just caught unaware while following AMA guidelines. |

Issue 10 Property Spring 2003Mismatch of the DayPaul CollinsThere was the usual flurry of press coverage last summer when a 37-year old theater producer strode into a London gallery and smashed the head off a statue of Margaret Thatcher. "Should Lady Thatcher's head be replaced?" the Guardian asked its readers—a question they surely would have responded "yes" to even before the attack. But lost amid all the excitement was the real symbolism of the attack: not who was attacked, but how. The assailant, you see, had used a cricket bat. It was as if the very embodiment of Britishness had knocked Maggie's block off.
Paul Collins edits the Collins Library for McSweeney's Books, and is the author of Banvard's Folly (Picador, 2001) and Sixpence House (Bloomsbury, 2003).

Ruth, Edward Kenneth (1981) Experiments with unconventional crossflow heat exchangers. Dissertation (Ph.D.), California Institute of Technology. http://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechETD:etd-10042006-110003
These experiments consisted of measurements of pressure losses and heat transfer rates for two unconventional crossflow heat exchanger configurations.
The first type consisted of an arrangement of circular tubes in a sawtooth pattern. Performance of this type did not appear to be an improvement over more conventional heat exchangers.
The second type used exchanger tubes of a special lenticular cross section so spaced as to keep the velocity of the fluid flowing outside the tubes nearly constant in magnitude reducing separation and drag. The lenticular tubes' performance was superior to the conventional types, especially at higher Reynolds numbers.

At the college level, Augie Garrido won a national title at Texas with a team like UF's: good coaching controlling the momentum of the game, good pitching, small ball combined with timely hitting, and good defense. It's a recipe that can produce the biggest results.
I haven't been able to watch many games since I moved to Europe a couple years back (+7 from ET) but I seem to recollect pitch clocks and pitchers that never worked the count. This often resulted in quick games. I will admit there were a lot of "matchups" late in the games which I felt he overanalyzed/overmanaged and they really extended the later innings. When you have a Paco or something similar, you go with your guy rather than utilizing him for a total of 1-2 hitters.
I don't recall any Augie team at Texas that was an offense juggernaut. The two years I spent in Austin and two years I was in Houston, UT had very mediocre offenses to say the least. He did have Jungmann, Stafford and some other fantastic arms during that time. Augie has utilized that methodology for decades as far as I know. Maineri at LSU seems to be more offensively oriented. Same with Mike Martin at the SWAC. Jim Morris hasn't had a great team in quite a few years (this year is probably the exception) but I seem to recall some pretty good Miami offenses over the years. They had some guys that could mash.
Let's not forget last year. UCLA didn't have a guy that could break a bottle with a baseball bat and won it all. With the current bats and balls, this kind of team really has a chance.
You guys got me curious about the game times. I just took a small sample from a few years (home SEC games: 2008, 2009, 2014): 2008, average game time 2:39 (this excludes a 4-hour extra inning game in the last SEC game of the season, with it the number is 2:45), 2 games over 3:00 2009, average game time 2:52, 6 games over 3:00 2014, average game time 2:48, 5 games over 3:00 Go GATORS! ,WESGATORS
2:39 is a pretty quick game. 2:48 isn't bad either. 2:52 is probably normal. Getting over 3:10 would be on the bad side. 2:39 is more in line with my memory as I seem to recall a few games where I was thinking, "Now what" given it was over pretty quick. It usually involved more tailgating, post game discussions at Dockside, or hitting one of our favorite Gainesville dinner joints.
Congrats Gators! Team, support, staff, coaches. Excellent turnaround from a rough start. Very impressive.
Do we dog pile again if Not to beat a dead horse but just to show how misleading samples/averages can be, our last five games have been: 4:02 3:17 4:03 2:58 3:19
Per WES' stats, 5 games over 3:00 and yet 4 of the last 5 have been over 3:00? The odds of that are VERY slim. something seems amiss here in these stats.
I just used the 15 home SEC games; he's referring to the last 5 games home/away conference play or not. One of those games, though was an 11-inning game; another was the Vandy blowout game. Go GATORS! ,WESGATORS
Sorry I do not want to see any dogpiles until June 24 af the earliest!! Way too much chance of injury!!!

Mapping the World: Facts and Meaning In Adjudication and MediationRobert RubinsonUniversity of Baltimore - School of Law 2011 Maine Law Review, Vol. 63, No. 1, 2011, pp. 61-87 University of Baltimore School of Law Legal Studies Research Paper No. 2013-04 Abstract: This Article explores what is and what is not in adjudication and mediation, thus illuminating the profound differences between these two processes. The Article does this work in four parts. First, it offers an analysis of cognitive mapmaking and its inevitability in constructing meaning. It then explores how adjudication defines meaning in a particular way. This Article then conducts a comparable analysis of mediation. Finally, it focuses on the bridging function attorneys play between the worlds of mediation and adjudication.

Title: | E Na Halau Hula, Nana Kakou Ia Laka (Look to the Source): Finding Balance Between the Practice of Hula Forest Gathering and the Ecological Realities of Hawaii's Native Forests |
Author: | Garcia, Shirley Naomi Kanani |
Date: | 2002-12 |
Publisher: | University of Hawaii at Manoa |
Abstract: | This thesis contends that the impact halau hula are having on Hawaii's native forests is born from many different social, cultural, and ecological factors. This thesis goes on to argue that it is hula's intimate link to the forests of Hawaiʻi, through Laka - the ancestor, that makes the problem of damaging gathering practices so antithetical and, also, so readily resolved. The thesis concludes by offering that the answer to regaining balance between cultural practice and modern ecological realities lies in the ancestor Laka. In the attributes and values of Laka is where halau hula can look for inspiration and proper behavior while in her realm, the beautiful and mysterious forests of Hawaiʻi. |

I have recently installed and new door jamb for a set of french doors. The jamb is plumb, I have checked it multiple times, but when I hung the doors, the do not hang level. They are flush at the top but at the bottom they are off by about 1/2" (one door is leaning into the closet and one is leaning into the room). What would be causing this? Is the only way to fix this to cheat out the bottom of my jamb so they hang flush?

These are the Nuke Proof 2013 Neutron Mag-Ti Flat Pedals. Their flagship model features a forged and CNC-machined magnesium body and titanium axle for the ultimate combination of light weight and strength (just 294g per pair). The Nukeproof Neutron series of pedals have been extensively engineered to offer the optimum balance of strength and fatigue resistance with minimum weight penalty. The low-profile design offers maximum ground clearance and features a deep concave which allows the foot to "sit in" the pedal which improves grip and comfort. There are a total of 10 replaceable and adjustable pins per side to allow you to customize the level of grip to meet your own requirements. Each pedal body spins on high quality DU bushings with two sealed cartridge bearings per pedal to help spread the stress loads from heavy impacts. Meanwhile a lip seal between the axle end and pedal body helps to reduce ingress of water and dirt prolonging pedal life between services.

1st West Nile virus death in Sac Co. comes as spraying begins
UPDATED 6:27 PM PDT Aug 06, 2014The same day officials confirmed the first death as a result of the West Nile virus in Sacramento County, two days of spraying for the virus is set to begin in an effort to kill mosquitoes infected by West Nile virus in Davis and Woodland.
Video TranscriptNEXT 20-30 MINUTES, AND THERE COULD ALSO BE SOME FLASH FLOODING ALONG WITH THIS, AND WE WILL KEEP YOU UPDATED THROUGHOUT NEXT HALF HOUR. THANKS. A SACRAMENTO COUNTY WOMAN IS DEAD AFTER COMING DOWN WITH WEST NILE VIRUS, AND FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS, CITIES, NOT JUST FARMS, ARE BEING SPRAYED TO KILL MOSQUITOES. THE FIRST TWO WEST NILE DEATHS THIS YEAR, AND ONE IS IN SACRAMENTO COUNTY. A TYPE OF STRAIN WE HAVE NOT SEEN IN YEARS IN YOLO COUNTY. SHAROKINA SHAMS JOINS US FROM DAVIS. TONIGHT AT 9:00, AERIAL SPRAY WILL BE OVER WOODLAND AND DAVIS, AND WE ARE HERE AT THE DAVIS FARMERS MARKET, AND THIS WAS PLANNED BEFORE THE DEATH BLAMED ON WEST NILE VIRUS, BUT THERE ARE MIXED FEELINGS HERE AT THE FARMERS MARKET ABOUT SPRAYING IN THIS BUSY, URBAN AREA. AS OFFICIALS CONTINUE TO SEE MORE WEST NILE VIRUS, THERE WAS GRIM NEWS. A 74-YEAR-OLD WOMAN DIED OF THE DISEASE. THEY SAY SHE HAD A PRE-EXISTING HEALTH CONDITION. AN UNDERLYING CONDITION, A CHRONIC ILLNESS, AND THE WEST NILE VIRUS HIT HARDER. SEVERAL PEOPLE IN THE COUNTY ARE FIGHTING THE VIRUS RIGHT NOW, AND MOSQUITO CONTROL SAYS THAT IS NOT A SURPRISE. WEST NILE VIRUS IS UP IN SAMPLES. WE ARE COLLECTING A LOT OF WATER IN CONTAINERS THAT WERE NOT MEANT FOR WATER, SUCH AS GARBAGE CANS AND OTHER THINGS, AND WHILE THEY WERE COLLECTING THE WATER, THEY ARE ALSO BREEDING MOSQUITOES. RUSE WILL SPRAY TONIGHT IN YOLO COUNTY, -- CREWS WILL SPRAY, BUT THIS TIME ON CITY STREETS AND OVER THE FARMERS MARKET, WHICH IS CLOSING EARLY. SPRAYING WILL ALSO OCCUR OVER WOODLAND, AND WHILE IT OFFICIALLY STARTS AT 8:00 P.M. AND CAN LAST UNTIL MIDNIGHT, THE FARMERS MARKET MANAGERS WERE TOLD THIS SPRAYING WILL BE PUT OFF UNTIL 9:00. THIS WILL ACTUALLY WORK OUT GREAT. WE SHOULD HAVE THE MARKET VACATED BY 9:00. NOW, THE DEATH IN SACRAMENTO COUNTY IS NOT OUT OF THE ORDINARY FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR, BUT STATEWIDE, THE NUMBER OF HUMAN CASES OF WEST NILE VIRUS

Passerby locates missing Salt Lake City man
Published September 13, 2013 7:44 am
This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2013, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
A man who wandered away from a care facility Thursday morning was located later that same day.
A passerby saw Jon Barry Drake, 68, sitting on a bus stop bench near 100 South and 100 East Thursday about 6:30 p.m., according to Salt Lake City Detective Veronica Montoya. Drake was uninjured and did not know anyone had been looking for him.
Drake had last been seen about 7:45 a.m. that same day at a care facility on the 100 South block of 1000 East.

Help eliminate plastic bags without compromising your style with this sweet, homemade bag.
Using a fabric pencil, draw the following patterns on the bag and lining fabric: two 45 x 40cm front/back panels; one 14 x 40cm base panel; and two 14cm x 45cm side panels. On the bag fabric only, draw one 20 x 60cm piece for the handles. To make the bag and lining, pin and sew the base panel to the 40cm sides of both the front and back panels, leaving a 10mm hem. Pin and stitch the 14cm sides of the side panels to the 14cm sides of the base panel, ensuring you stitch along the seam that connects the side panels with the front and back panels.
Put your lining inside the bag, all hems facing inwards. Line them up at the top and trim to match the edges. Fold the edges inwards. Pin and sew together.
To make the handles, fold both long sides into the centre. Press with an iron, then fold in half lengthways. Pin and sew seams on both sides for extra strength. Cut into two equal lengths. Fold a 20mm seam on either end and pin and sew handle to the bag. Sling the bag over your shoulder and shop away.

You Can Dance If You Want To
While hip hop may be Miami's unofficial Memorial Day weekend soundtrack, dance music is alive and well from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. Saturday, May 26 at The Vagabond, whose Dance Ritual features the legendary Louie Vega. In addition to Vega, the party is hosted by Back Door Bamby's "notorious sex kittens and naughty misfits," along with resident DJs Ray Milian, Ryan Evans and Carmel Ophir. Out back in the garden is The Smoke Out BBQ with DJ Wasabi. Tickets are $10 and $15 at www.wantickets.com and include free Absolut Vodka cocktails from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m.
Meanwhile, Over at Bardot
While Vega is spinning at The Vagabond, his partner in sound and in his production/remix company Masters at Work, Kenny "Dope" Gonzalez, will spin his own fusion of house, hip hop, Latin, jazz, funk & soul, reggae, alternative pop and broken beats at Bardot. LA-based band Toy Bombs, whose own signature sounds are inspired by punk, folk, 50s rock and Radiohead, among others, will also perform. Doors open at 9 p.m. Tickets are $10 and $15 and available here.
Free Cheers for Thursday
New at Lucky Clover Irish Pub is Cheers, a series of booze-soaked incentives by promoter Gary James beginning at 5 p.m. with happy hour until 9 p.m. and again from 2:30 a.m. until closing and continuing with two for one "Baby Guinness Shots" and $4 Harp beer all night long. Women get free Baby Guinness Shots from 9 p.m. until midnight, during which time those babies become old enough for a stint in juvie. James, incidentally, is a busy guy. Among his other upcoming nocturnal offerings: a Saturday pool party and lounge/dinner party at the Mondrian, a Tuesday dinner /lounge party at the Shelborne, and, starting June 25 and every Monday night thereafter, Postal Cafe upstairs at Sra. Martinez. About that, James tells us a, "it's a progressive international themed night, "kind of like a Fat Black Pussycat but 20 years later and with an adult audience. Think Semper's meets Cafe Manana [a hipster spot on Washington and 16th back in the day]" Sra. Martinez, incidentally, is closed Mondays, and James, along with legendary South Beach nightlife visionary Louis Canales, is just leasing the space from Michelle Bernstein.
Trivial Matters
Nightlife isn't regularly associated with intellect, but when it comes to Tuesday night's Camp Ricochet, your brain is as essential as your outfit. In addition to playing trivia for prizes, the Midtown Miami meeting place is giving away free pizza from 9 p.m. to midnight. "Great date night," says owner Alan Roth. And while that may be debatable, free pizza and trivia on a Tuesday night isn't rocket science, but sure is a no brainer.
Memorial Day Weekend in Miami is a who's who of hip hop royalty. As for where they're going to be,well, if you believe the promotional flyers, they'll be everywhere. Don't believe the hype. Bamboo Miami Beach as an impressive lineup beginning Friday, May 25 with Twista and Don Cannon and continuing Saturday with an exclusive Rick Ross event with music by DJ Sam Sneak, Sunday with the Flo Rida and DJ Entice Celebrity Birthday Bash and crashing Monday with The Annual Memorial Weekend Shutdown with a Jadakiss birthday bash and music by DJ S&S. Doors for all open at 11 p.m. and guests, say a publicist, "should expect a cover of $25+ (depending on capacity and time).

Numerical study of homogeneous bubbly flow: Influence of the inlet conditions to the hydrodynamic behavior
Darmana, D. and Deen, N.G. and Kuipers, J.A.M. and Harteveld, W.K. and Mudde, R.F. (2009) Numerical study of homogeneous bubbly flow: Influence of the inlet conditions to the hydrodynamic behavior. International Journal of Multiphase Flow, 35 (12). pp. 1077-1099. ISSN 0301-9322
Restricted to UT campus only : Request a copy 21MB |
Abstract: | This paper discusses the role of the gas injection pattern on the large scale structures in a homogeneous pseudo-2D bubble column operated at relatively high gas hold-ups up to 8%. Seven cases with different inlet configuration have been studied experimentally by Harteveld et al. Each of these cases has been simulated using a (parallel) Euler–Lagrange model developed by Darmana et al. The presence of coherent structures for both uniform and non-uniform gas injection is studied. Furthermore, the influence of the gas injection pattern on the dynamics is investigated, while the statistical (average and fluctuating) quantities are compared with the PIV/PTV and LDA measurement data of Harteveld et al. The results show that the model resembles the observed experimental flow structures to a large extent. |

Dijsselbloem says no political support for ESM to act retrospectively
Wednesday 10 July 2013 22.15Eurogroup President Jeroen Dijsselbloem has said he does not see "any political support" for the European Stability Mechanism to operate in a retroactive fashion.
The Government has said it wants the ESM to operate retroactively and take stakes in Irish pillar banks, such AIB, and thereby alleviate some of Ireland's banking debt.
However, in an interview with Le Figaro, Mr Dijsselbloem, who is also the Finance Minister of the Netherlands, said: "I do not see any political support to make it retroactive."
He also took a very conservative standpoint on how the ESM would operate saying: "We will intervene as a last, very last resort."

Definition of Pulmonary stenosis
Pulmonary stenosis: A condition in which the pulmonary valve is too tight, so that the flow of blood from the right ventricle of the heart into the pulmonary artery is impeded. This means that the right ventricle must pump harder than normal to overcome the obstruction. Treatment is necessary if the pressure in the right ventricle is higher than normal. Treatment involves eliminating the obstruction by a procedure called balloon valvuloplasty or by surgery.

I'd Rather Be Right
I'd Rather Be Right | |
Original 1937 Playbill Cover
Music | Richard Rodgers |
Lyrics | Lorenz Hart |
Book | Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman |
Productions |
1937 Broadway 2011 Revival |
I'd Rather Be Right is a musical with a book by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman, lyrics by Lorenz Hart, and music by Richard Rodgers. The story is a Depression-era political satire set in New York City, about Washington politics and political figures, such as President Franklin Roosevelt. The plot centers on Peggy Jones (Joy Hodges) and her boyfriend Phil (Austin Marshall), who needs a raise in order for them to get married. The President steps in and solves their dilemma.
It premiered on Broadway at the Alvin Theatre on November 2, 1937, produced by Sam H. Harris, and transferred to the Music Box Theatre, and ran for 290 performances. It starred George M. Cohan as Franklin Roosevelt.
Cohan, playing FDR, danced in such pieces as "Off the Record", not possible in real life for the disabled President.
H. G. Wells wrote enthusiastically about the musical, and Cohan's performance as Roosevelt, in an article "The Fall in America 1937", published in Collier's on 28 January 1938 and reprinted in his World Brain (1938).
The musical is prominently featured in the 1942 Cohan biopic Yankee Doodle Dandy, where it serves as a narrative bookend. James Cagney, playing Cohan, after meeting FDR in the Oval Office, performs a joyous tap dance as he walks back down the stairs of the White House. In the film, we also see Cagney as Cohan performing "Off the Record" during the show's run. (Because the film was made during World War II, the film also anachronistically added some morale-boosting lyrics at the end of the song as part of Warner Bros.' wartime propaganda).
