New state laws banning sales of electronic cigarettes to minors and giving businesses new tax exemptions for installing solar energy systems are set to take effect next week.
In 2013, New Yorkers will also calculate state income taxes owed based on the new rates that took effect in 2012, while payroll deductions could change again based on a cost-of-living index adjustment in the law.
The ban on sales to those under 18 of E-cigarettes, battery-powered devices used to inhale vaporized liquid nicotine instead of tobacco smoke, is effective Jan. 1.
At the same time, sales and installations of commercial solar units will become exempt from the 4 percent state sales and use tax. The law lets cities and counties do the same. It follows the 2005 tax exemption for residential systems.

The alarm went off: deaths related to prescription medication in the country were close to 38,000 in 2009, exceeding motor vehicle accidents, according to new data released by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The sales of the most popular prescription analgesics – Tylenol with codeine, Darvocet, Vicodin and Percocet – skyrocketed in America, and this addiction epidemic is spreading like a plague. The New York Daily News reported at the beginning of December on Federal statistics revealing that treatment for prescription painkiller abuse has increased by 430 percent over the last decade.
If a pain episode is acute enough to take you to the hospital's ER, you're likely to be administered narcotics. Do doctors try to find out if you have a background of addictions or mental illness? Usually not.
Even worse, current regulations are so deficient that if you get hooked on those prescription drugs, you will have relatively easy access to them and not only through the traditional channels (your doctor). Currently, controlled prescription medications can be purchased over the Internet, without a doctor's signature.
"Psychiatrists and many primary care physicians might not be familiar with existing evidence-based guidelines for opioid prescribing or with programs designed to reduce the abuse of prescription drugs," commented Pyschiatrist.com.
- Pain medication v. natural analgesics
The three most commonly used narcotics for pain management include morphine, meperidine and fentanyl. The effect of these drugs on pain is due to the fact that they bind with existing receptors in the body.
You might ask, why would the body come with a system of receptors ready to "marry" opioids administered by a doctor? Because the body already produces its own opiates to regulate pain: beta-endorphins, enkephalins and dynorphins. These substances act as neurotransmitters and neuromodulators.
The main difference between your natural opioids and those prescribed by your doctor is that your body's endogenous analgesics do not produce the many undesirable side effects seen with prescription medication.
Alternative health practitioners avoid using painkillers and focus on stimulating the production of the natural substances through proper nutrition, exercise and pleasurable activities.
- From pain management to addiction
Most painkillers used today are drugs derived from the Asian poppy Palaver somniferous or are synthetic substitutes for these drugs. Indicated mostly for the management of cancer patients, narcotics are indeed effective in relieving severe pain. They are also used to relieve pre-operative anxiety, to suppress cough and stop severe diarrhea.
However, combined with alcohol or used in doses that do not take into account the size and weight or sensitivity of an individual, these drugs can suppress the ability to breath, and can induce coma and death.
While it's true that analgesics make possible for individuals with incapacitating pain to go back to productive lives, unfortunately not all people who take prescription medications use them responsibly.
When abused – taken by someone other than the patient, or in a manner or dosage other than what was prescribed – prescription medications can produce serious adverse side effects, including addiction.
"Overall, rates of opioid analgesic misuse and overdose death are highest among men, persons aged 20–64 years, non-Hispanic whites, and poor and rural populations," reported the CDC.
- Regulations need to include physicians, target consumers
Abuse of prescription medications in the past decade has exceeded that of all illicit drugs combined, except marijuana.
This issue has gained the attention of federal regulators, law enforcement, and the media, and it has become clear that physicians also need to sit at the table with regulators to discuss programs and strategies aimed at controlling the epidemic.
So far, priorities have focused on limiting supplies of addicting substances, and not on the doctor who prescribes or the consumer.
Florida, considered the nation's pill mill capital, has seen in the past year police raid doctor's offices (especially across South Florida) targeting those who illegally deal with prescription pain pills. As these offices shut down, drug users are turning up at pharmacies, which led CVS a few months ago to stop filling any prescription for drugs containing analgesics such as oxycodone.
CVS decision came after Florida enacted a new law – which went into operation earlier in 2011 – to crack down on pill mills. The law included the creation of a monitoring program that collects narcotics prescriptions in a searchable database that any doctor or pharmacist can access.
The process is not nearly done. Reuters reported on April 6, that after noticing a jump in purchases of oxycodone medication, the DEA issued inspection warrants to Walgreens' in Jupiter, Port Richey, Oviedo, Fort Myers and Fort Pierce.

Bihar to reduce tax on Diesel: Nitish
Zeebiz Bureau
New Delhi: Bihar government has decided to reduce taxes on diesel, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said on Tuesday.
Earlier, Kumar termed the diesel price hike and limiting the number of subsidised cooking gas cylinders as a cruel joke on the common people of the country and demanded a rollback.
"It is nothing but a cruel joke with people because they have been fighting for survival in view of high inflation rate," Kumar said.
The government's decision to raise price of diesel by over Rs 5 per litre last week evoked sharp reaction leading to widespread demand for its roll back.

Oracle Backs Linux with File System Release
Oracle Backs Linux with File System Release
John Pallatto
Posted 2005-08-11
Oracle is releasing its Cluster File System Release 2 to the open-source community to demonstrate its support for Linux, even as it prospers as a producer of proprietary software products.
SAN FRANCISCOWhile it remains one of the top providers of proprietary database and applications software in the world, Oracle this week made several moves to demonstrate that it is a major player in the Linux and open-source market. The company announced at LinuxWorld here that it was releasing OCFS 2 (the Oracle Cluster File System Release 2) as an open-source component that will become a standard component of Novell Inc.s SuSE Linux Enterprise Server. Oracle Corp. developed the file system at a time when "there wasnt a cheap or free file system" for Linux, said Wim Coekaerts, Oracles director of Linux engineering.
OCFS 2 is designed to allow all nodes in a cluster of Linux computers to access the file system concurrently, which greatly simplifies running a relational database on computer clusters, according to Oracle officials.
OCFS 2 simplifies database administration by eliminating the need to set up raw disk devices. The new release is also designed to be a more general-purpose file system that can be used for other applications besides databases, officials said. When Oracle released OCFS 1 it was aimed mainly at making it easier to manage data storage. However, Oracle now recommends that customers use Oracle Automatic Storage Management for that purpose and OCFS Release 2 to access application binaries, officials said.

about the latest development in Red Hats plan to establish the Fedora Foundation and release its own Global File System for Fedora.
Before the release of OCFS 2, database administrators had to install administrative software, such as storage management software, on each node of a cluster. This can be a time-consuming process when a cluster can contain 16 or more notes, Oracle officials said. With OCFS, administrators only have to install the software on one node, where it can be shared by all the other nodes. Oracle is now working with the Linux community to get the file system accepted as part of the Linux 2.6 kernel, Coekaerts said. Currently OCFS is available as a free download from the Oracle Technology Network. Tens of thousands of copies have been downloaded from the
OTN Web site
since Oracle started shipping it, Oracle officials said. Once it is reviewed and accepted by the Linux community, it will be combined with the Linux 2.6 kernel so it can become part of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 as well as Novell SuSE Linux, Coekaerts said. Novell also intends to ship it with its SuSE Linux Enterprise 9 Service Pack 2 that was shipped last month, according to Coekaerts. As proof that Linux is a significant new market for Oracle, the company reported that more than 1,500 ISVs are running Oracle software on Linux to deliver a wide range of business applications.

Some of the more prominent names on that list include Cisco Systems Inc., McKesson Corp., BusinessObjects Inc., Agilent Technologies and Microstrategy Inc. Oracle is assisting ISVs with the Linux Business Development Initiative, which provides assistance with application porting, best practices, training and marketing to speed the introduction of new Linux applications, Coekaerts said. In his keynote address at LinuxWorld, Oracle President Charles Phillips cited a Gartner Inc. report on relational database system market growth for 2004 which states that Oracle now holds an 81 percent share of the market while IBM holds a 17 percent share. Furthermore, the Gartner report says Linux has become the fastest growing platform for new database deployments, with 118 percent growth in 2004. Oracle is running its own data center and its On-Demand IT servers on Linux, using 64-bit x86 servers from Sun Microsystems Inc. and based on Advanced Micro Devices Inc. CPUs. These systems are running Novell Inc.s SuSE Linux Enterprise Server. Some of the companies that are using Oracles E-Business Suite On-Demand and Oracle Technology On-Demand include major corporate customers as Thermos LLC, Tropicana Products Inc. and Unocal Corp.

Definition of Protein malnutrition
Protein malnutrition: Insufficient intake of nitrogen-containing food (protein) to maintain a nitrogen balance or nitrogen equilibrium. Children are particularly prone to develop protein malnutrition. To grow, children have to consume enough nitrogen-containing food (protein) to maintain a positive nitrogen balance, whereas adults need only be in nitrogen equilibrium.

You can get GAP through most finance companies, insurance companies have it too. Everyone wants to eliminate a negative equity situation.
Go see an F&I manager at a dealership, be careful though, shopping credit hurts you too. You should get copies of Equifax and Trans Union, I think Americans get one free per year? Then take total monthly income, annual divided by 12. Add up all loans, credit cards, mortgage (remember for calculations, only half the monthly payment figures into the equation) - borrowed money. Divide that by the total before tax (gross) monthly income. If that number is 20-25% and the bureau shows no more than 2-3 R2's and none current and the credit score is 700 or above, you should qualify for prime financing, if not you should qualify for sub-prime. If your score is in the 600's, your TDSR is over 30% and the bureau is littered with R2 or worse, proceed to the closest buy-here, pay-here who reports to the bureau, they will charge you a lot. But they will get you into a car, go for the cheapest, crappiest thing you can find if your credit is that poor, pay well for a year and re-evaluate the situation. Credit Unions typically lend better, Ford Credit lends well, leasing is oft a better option and easier approved because you never own the car until you pay the residual. Take all your own papers, bureau etc., calculations for TDSR, do not let anyone pull a bureau until they have evaluated your situation. |

Personally we have not bought a new or nearly new car in years. All 3 of our vehicles were very clean and well maintained. Prices were 5500 for a 92 Saab with 60,000 miles, 92 Dodge Ram Diesel for 10,000 with 70,000 miles and 2400 for a 94 Izusu Trooper with 130,000 miles..Just listing this to show a small sample of clean affordable options available without going into debt again for something that will immediately lose value. It's just something to think about...look at ebay or autotrader..just be careful have a mechanic check it out first.

If you're really in a pinch I would buy something cheap (like under $1000 cash) to get you by for now than take on a loan with a high interest rate or something that could be bad for your credit. We always buy second hand and have gone through several vehicles but only *one* vehicle loan (and of course it's for what's supposed to be our nicer/newer vehicle that has had so many problems I think I've now paid more in repairs than the original purchase price!).

That is what we are doing right now. We have a budget and will buy second hand. I told my neighbors friend that it needs to have room and to be reliable. I don't care about looks, when it was build or milage. As long as we get a couple of years out of it, it is okay. Right now I don't even care if it is a gas guzzler or not.

Check around some local mechanics (like people that own their own shop, not car sales lots or chain places). The ones we used have bought vehicles from us and do some refurbishing and then sell them. Then you're not hassled by salespeople or have to deal with the wackos on Craigslist.

I second asking around at mechanics, they always know who is selling, ours is fantastic, I'm going to really miss him, he services the local police and OPP as well as the town vehicles, which says something because while he has a dealer license - anybody who buys or sells more then 3 vehicles per year has to have one here, he's not a franchise dealer, although he can do warranty work.
When we were looking when my car had it's issue recently, he had 3 options just off the top of his head, he had his wife's new edge, which he was willing to do with us for a difference of $9,000, taking my car in, a mini-van he was doing a pre-safety on for an estate situation or a Jimmy type thing he had on the lot, owned by his shop, but he straight up said, it's garbage on gas. He also told me I should have kept the Tahoe - but he's fantastic, we've used him for 2 years, never felt we were over charged or ripped off, he once helped me diagnose a problem in a parking lot over the phone LOL. He wanted to determine if I could drive the car to him or if he needed to tow me in. Local small shops are great - it's like when you move somewhere new, you ask pet stores who a good vet is, you ask vets for dog walker/sitter recommendations. You ask around for a good mechanic, then you love them forever and make them your first call! |

Federal Pay: Misteakes Wuz Made
Are the experts doing all those federal pay studies working from the same database and on the same page? Or are they even on the same planet, which would explain why you are either overpaid 50 percent in one study or underpaid at least 20 percent in another, says Senior Correspondent Mike Causey.
00Great Column MikecontrarianI think what Mike is gingerly trying to say is that some Feds may be indeed overpaid. He's probably seen a multitude of GS=12 Secretaries in DC and GS-15 analysts out the wazoo. I'd venture that anybody on the frontlines of any organization is NOT overpaid. Let's be honest, GS-15s that manage 4 employees have too small a span of control. GS-15s that travel for the sake of travel are wasting money. We know there's fat, but it seems like the geniuses in DC never seem to find it.32435{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }0GS 12 secretariesModerateNever heard of a GS 12 secretary. I thought there are measuring sticks that show the complexity of the job. My job and others that I have seen have them. Is the GS 15 supervising GS 14's whose job is very technical or the 14's manage others? Or is the 15 responsible for the work of strictly 4 people who are go fors.?worker32449{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }32435No Time For GingernessX-taxmanSay it loud and say it proud, Mike. There are many many feds that are grossly overpaid. Of course 'the geniuses in DC never seem to find it', because those same geniuses are the ones that create the fat, and wallow in it. Still, there are very many GS 14 and 15 equivalents in field sites all over the country, concentrated in the major geographical areas, that are grossly overpaid in comparison to their value added to the agency. (Let's start with these worthless whistleblower analysts! Then let's look at the sheer number of 'executive assistants'). This is prominent in the IRS. These people need to be either let go or put back to work on the front lines and paid appropriately. The days of Empire Building are OVER,,at least they should be. And yes, Mod, there ARE GS 12 equivalent secretaries (but don't you dare call them that!).32599{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }32435Overpaid Fed??FederalEmployeeAs a long time Fed who has repeatedly seen what others doing a similar job in the private sector make, I can attest to the fact that my counterparts in the private sector make significantly more than I do. I can also attest to the fact that my private sector counterparts' benefits (health insurance, 401K matching, pension, sick leave, annual leave) are just as good, and sometimes better, than my benefits. I can further attest to the fact that my counterparts in the private sector work 50 – 70 hours a week; carry beepers even while on vacation; and can be fired for making a mistake or for crossing the boss the wrong way. I have seen my counterparts in the private sector lose their jobs when their company is bought out by a larger one. I work with several individuals who were once part of the corporate rat race. Both took substantial cuts in pay in exchange for a 40-hour workweek and job security. Even my gynecologist gave up his practice and went to work for the VA so that he could salvage his marriage and his relationship with his children. College educated, highly skilled professionals make markedly less working for Uncle Sam than those working in the private sector. Period. It is not difficult to make this determination. Just for fun, go online, pull up the annual 990 of your local non-profit hospital, and check out the salaries of the highest paid physicians. Then look at what a GS 13, 14 or 15 makes. For more fun, go to the SEC website, pull up the 10K of any large publicly traded company, and check out the salaries (including cash bonuses, stock options, deferred comp plans, etc) of the highest paid employees. Then compare that to the salary of an SES executive. Back to the 10K – look at how many persons are employed by the private sector entity, and compare that to the number of employees managed by the SES executive. A friend of mine does contract work in the telecommunications field. His rate has been as high as $700—per day, plus mileage. He has no health insurance, no paid sick leave or paid vacation time, no 401K, and no pension plan. Once a contract is completed, several months may pass before he is able to find work again. I am very happy with my pay and benefits. I chose to live like a pauper for many years as I worked my way up the career ladder. I chose quality of life over making the big bucks in the private sector. I chose job security over a fatter bank account. I work hard, I am loyal, I love my country, and I made the right choices for myself. Once upon a time, you could work for one company for 35 years and in exchange for your loyalty and hard work, you received a pension. Some companies even provided post-retirement health insurance benefits. However, the days of putting human beings ahead of The Almighty Dollar have all but ended. Greed has shipped jobs overseas. Greed has replaced health insurance benefits with high deductible HSA's – or no health insurance at all. Greed has replaced pension plans with non-matching 401K plans – or nothing at all. Greed caused the depression that began in 2008. Over the past 20-or so months, we heave heard a lot of rhetoric regarding Federal pay and benefits. One rug-wearing politician made the comment "employees in the private sector do not have pension plans…why should Federal employees have a pension plan." Gee…I have severe arthritis; therefore everyone else should have it too. I do not own a yacht, I have never traveled to Europe, and I have needed to wear glasses since the age of nine. Therefore, no one should own a yacht, no one should be allowed to travel to Europe, and if you were born with good eyesight – time to have one eye removed. Ridiculous – absolutely. Need I say more? I too agree that many positions in the Federal government are over-graded. We have far too many GS 13, 14 and 15 analysts and program managers. On the flip side, there are some positions that are under-graded. Look at the pay of a group secretary—pathetically low. This, however, is a topic for another day. PS – in the event that anyone is wondering, I am writing this on my own time.32437{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }0Bravo!Fed1979This comment makes more sense than any I've heard in a long time. Lengthy, yes but well worth every minute it took to read. Can't be any clearer to anyone that actually cares about the public vs. private salary debate.32443{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }32437Jellyfish stingsdailycheeseUrinating on a jellyfish sting may or may not provide relief to the person stung, however, depending on who that person is, urinating on it makes me feel better.32439{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }0Livable WagesRichard729Yes, federal workers on average make more than all the thousands of jobs that don't pay livable wages or benefits. To me, paying livable wages are more important than simply having a job for the sake of adding to the employment or unemployment numbers. Locality pay for federal workers, for example, is not based on a national average cost of living but on jobs that federal workers are paid in comparison with the same job in the private sector. When I worked in San Diego the cost of living was way higher than in Houston, Texas. Yet, the locality pay was based on NASA scientists and engineers, many of whom make 6-figure salaries. Thus, the locality pay was higher in Houston than in San Diego. If pay had been based on cost of living expenses, however, in San Diego, CA workers would have received higher raises than in Houston, Texas. True, in the private sector, workers are often restricted to less than 40-hours per week in order for the employer to avoid paying certain benefits like sick leave, vacation and overtime. Those working in the private sector are essentially being squeezed whereas in the federal workforce individuals enjoy the security of receiving fair, not extravagant, pay and benefits unlike their private sector counterparts who are often punished by being considered temporary workers with reduced or even zero benefits. The question is, do we want a dumbed-down workforce that can't possibly contribute to their own retirements because they receive such low pay and benefits or do we pay workers a little more and treat them fairly?32444{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }0

Shalom Task Force Responding to the Call of Domestic Abuse
Latest update: June 25th, 2012
Mrs. Sharon Russ, Hotline Director for Shalom Task Force, prays every day that her job will cease to exist. Alas, her prayers have yet to be answered. Over the last fifteen years, thousands of Jewish women have summoned up the courage to reach out and contact the hotline, asking for help. They rely on Shalom Task Force's guarantee of anonymity and privacy and awareness that an Orthodox Jewish wife will often delay efforts to seek advice. This is because she is fearful of embarrassment and the potential negative consequences for her and her children. When she finally gathers the courage to face her dilemma, calling the hotline is her first step towards getting help.
The caller could be a distraught mother who believes that her married daughter is suffering from a controlling, critical husband. She wonders what can or should be done. Another call could be a young girl in her twenties, engaged to be married in just one month, who is uneasy because she heard her chassan speak to a family member in a cold, hostile way. Is this a red flag she should be paying attention to? Is he really the mensch everyone said he is? She's been uneasy for a while now, as she's seen this darker side of his personality emerge on several occasions. Should she break off the engagement? And if she does, will she ever get another chance? These cases are representative of the hundreds of different situations Shalom Task Force's highly trained staff of dedicated women face on a regular basis.
STF hotline advocates take a three-hour shift once a week. They don't take their responsibility lightly. They know that for many women, they may be the only existing lifeline. There are more than an estimated 1000 calls received each year. Many of these calls are in response to a domestic abuse situation. Additionally, the hotline provides referrals and a listening ear for personal and family concerns.
Rachel*, a dedicated volunteer, shares her experience: "One of my first calls was a woman who called Monday morning at 9:02am, right after the phones opened. It was clear she had been waiting to make the call. She said: 'I just want you to know that Hashem blessed me with seven children. Last night, baruch Hashem, was the last sheva brachos for my youngest child. I have been married 35 years, my life has been a living hell and I have to get out of my marriage.'" Rachel, the volunteer, continues: "Many times the phone will ring and all I'll hear is sniffling. I'll say, 'I'm here for you, I care about you. I'll hold on for as long as you need.' The woman will start sobbing because someone cares about her. I have listened to women cry for ten minutes before they start talking."
A few years ago, the hotline began an affiliate program that has allowed them to expand beyond the NYC region. Since it is very costly to start up a new hotline and to train volunteers, other areas of the country are joining Shalom Task Force as affiliates. These cities put together a customized manual for social service, therapeutic and legal referrals in their area, and supply the New York volunteers with these manuals. If a woman in trouble calls from elsewhere she will speak to a New York volunteer who has access to referrals that are well suited to the caller's geographic location.
Sarah* is the name the anonymous victim used when she called the hotline one Tuesday morning, after her husband had left for work and her children were safely at school. She had been summoning the courage to make this call for at least three years. Her hands trembling, her mouth as dry as the Sahara, she practically whispered the words: "I'm frightened for my children to witness what is going on, what do I do?"
Sarah called the right place. Shalom Task Force is here to help.

Matriculation Ceremony
A time-honored Albion College tradition
Matriculation marks the moment when all new students (both first-years and transfers) officially become a part of the Albion College family by recording their names in the College history.
Faculty are robed in their traditional academic regalia for the event, held on the Friday of Fall Orientation each August in Goodrich Chapel. New students are formally welcomed to the Albion community of scholars by the College's president, faculty, and upperclass students, and they hear the College hymn, "Albion, Dear Albion," possibly for the first time.
Parents and family members are invited and encouraged to attend the ceremony, which follows a pre-matriculation reception that offers opportunities to create their own Briton connections.
2014 Matriculation
Pre-Matriculation Reception (for parents/family members), 3:00 - 3:45 p.m. Tent Area on Quadrangle
Matriculation Ceremony, 4:00 - 5:00 p.m. Goodrich Chapel

Most everything they're done is really good, but as a starting point, "Scattered, Smothered and Covered" is rad. Put out on Amphetamine Reptile. Then work your way backwards. I think there's only two albums prior to that. The newer stuff took a little while to grow on me for some reason, still can't put my finger on it. The Peel sessions are fucking awesome but you can only get the first two since they were released as an EP. Third one isn't released although I've heard tell of bootlegs somewhere. |

Errant bosses faking addresses of foreign workers
They state on MOM database the men are in approved housing while putting them up in cheaper places
Errant bosses have been listing false addresses on a Ministry of Manpower (MOM) online database while housing their foreign workers in sub-standard conditions.
They declare that the men are living in approved housing such as purpose-built dormitories, while actually putting them up in cheaper places such as shophouses, factory-converted dorms or construction site quarters. It comes down to money, said Ms Debbie Fordyce, a volunteer at welfare group Transient Workers Count Too.
A place at a dorm, with amenities like mini-marts and basketball courts, costs about $300 a month. But housing workers at construction sites can be free, while a month's stay in a shophouse is about $200.
Industry players who spoke to The Sunday Times said bosses are willing to be dishonest as they know it is difficult for MOM to check.
Background story
About 2,100 employers have been warned or fined by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) in the past two years for offences relating to the online system to register foreign worker addresses, said a ministry spokesman.
A dozen employers were charged in court and fined a total of $119,000.
However, The Sunday Times understands that most were taken to task for not updating their workers' addresses and not for false declarations on the Online Foreign Worker Address Service website.
A spokesman said the ministry regularly checks the database for accuracy. He added that employers should not use MOM's online database to check for vacancies in dormitories. Bosses should contact dorm operators directly.
MOM is also working with dorm operators to "better reconcile their tenant records" with the ministry's data.
On the issue of employers facing problems updating their workers' addresses on the website, the spokesman said it may not necessarily be due to false registrations.
Instead, it may be due to other employers having yet to update their workers' addresses after moving out of the dorms, said the spokesman. As a result, the dorms are still full based on MOM records.
"When employers find that they cannot update the addresses... they will be triggered to contact MOM directly and we will facilitate the address update," he said.
Employers who intentionally provide false information of their foreign worker addresses can be fined up to $20,000 and/or jailed two years.

How To Get Ready For School!
To some people, the sounds of rustling backpacks and starched uniforms brings feelings of sweet relief; it's the sound of children going back to school and the household returning to a normal schedule.
For working moms like myself, the sound brings feelings of dread. The school year will be beginning, necessitating extreme juggling skills to manage varying bus schedules, homework assignments, the unending list of supplies that are urgently needed, and the illogical school calendar which manages to give vacation to the children at least once a month, leaving parents scrambling for extra child-care.
The summer is a vacation from all that with late mornings when the kids can be packed off to camp wearing whatever they want without having to worry about dress codes, and just a quick glass of milk, knowing that breakfast will be served shortly, not to mention long relaxing afternoons, where every meal is alfresco (at least in our house) and the children are so wiped out from their exertions, their sleep is long and deep.
This year, we have three kids going to school for the first time. My oldest will be going to first grade, my middle child will be entering not just nursery but a brand new school system for both him and us, and my little toddler, only nineteen months, will be going to a small playgroup across the street with his bottle in his hand. Now before you exclaim at the pressure that parents are placing on their children to succeed academically, remember that I am not home during the day anyways, and I felt it would be good for my not-quite-a-baby-anymore to spend a few hours with other wobbly toddlers his own age instead of with the babysitter.
So with all these big milestones, each child in a different school and a different grade, we have been inundated with forms, letters, and supplies that are needed before the school year can begin. We would have been completely overwhelmed, if not for my secret weapon; my cell phone calendar. In there, I broke down all the major categories that we had to deal with: school supplies, forms, clothing, doctor visits, and preparing the children for their next big step in life.
School Supplies: I have been very blessed with a husband who loves shopping for deals. Because of that, we have a large closet filled with almost every type of school supply one might require from age 3 and up. For the small amount of things that we were missing, he kept track of the circulars being dropped off in the mail and went to Staples as needed. That's his thing, and it definitely was a huge help, but unless Sunday-shopping-for-school-supplies is your thing, I wouldn't recommend it, as it's quite the time-waster.
Instead, schedule a day in your phone calendar, once you received all the school supply lists, and choose one store that has decent prices for most of the items you will need. Bang out the whole list and call it a day.
It is not reasonable to expect to get the best deals for everything, so whatever you end up spending a little extra on, chalk it up to time saved. In the future, remember to go shopping as early in the summer as possible, because the closer you get to September, the emptier the store shelves will be.
The Forms: The forms came in thick envelopes and contained such useful information as lunch forms, emergency forms, book forms, bus forms, school schedules, and family history. I took care of them as soon as they arrived, by filing the important forms I needed in the appropriate places and filling out the paperwork the school required, slipping them back into the manila envelope and into the children's backpacks that were already waiting on their hooks at the front door.
Clothing and Uniform: Can I take a minute to say how much I love uniforms? What a pleasure to know exactly what to wear for the next day. No more giving choices, or explaining that we can't wear Shabbos dresses to school. Thankfully, my daughter is very excited to wear her uniform, and she couldn't wait to go shopping. We scheduled a day on my phone, and found a uniform store nearby that carried her school's criteria.
Most schools have a uniform supplier. If money isn't an issue and you are pressed for time, you can easily call them and make an order, which should be done as early as possible to make sure there is something left. Depending on how generic the school uniform is, there are non-Jewish stores and companies that sell uniform like skirts and shirts for a fraction of the price, such as Children's Place or Gap, and they take coupons! When buying uniform from suppliers other than the school's, make sure it confirms with the school guidelines in terms of length and other decorations.
I personally find shopping for shoes a nightmare, so all the money we saved on uniforms and school supplies, I spent on shoes. The easiest option for me, but not exactly the cheapest, is to go online and order from a website that offers free shipping such as Zappos.com. I order a few different pairs, my children pick the one they like the most, and I return the rest, all from the comfort of my home.
For the boys' clothes, I scheduled a couple of hours on my phone, and went through their closet and hand-me-downs. I made a list of the items they were missing and went back online to finish the shopping.
Medical visits and Updated Immunizations: Needless to say, it is crucial for your children to have updated immunizations. The world has become quite small and although your children may not be world-travelers, there is no way to tell where those around them have been. In addition, most schools will not allow your child into school without an updated medical form. Schedule an appointment and mark it in your phone, making sure it doesn't coincide with any of your other shopping days.
Preparing the Children for Their Milestone: I did my best to prepare the children along the way – when I bought my daughter her uniforms, we reviewed that she will be using them in first grade, what she will be learning and how the structure will be different than what she's been used to. When we bought my son his backpack, I explained that he will be using it to go to his new big school, where his cousins go. For my baby…let's just hope that his orientation won't be too heartrending.
Good luck to all the little ones starting their new year, and may their new beginnings be full of success. Let's catch up in the few months, and we can discuss the next big hurdle, getting your kids to do their homework!

Gilliam keeps the audience guessing, and in doing so creates a startlingly effective rumination on the nature of sanity and madness cloaked in the shroud of a sci-fi thriller.
Bruce Willis is bruisingly good as the hero and Brad Pitt is suitably zany as the activist who dogs his trail.
Gilliam, along with the gifted cinematographer Roger Pratt and production designer Jeffrey Beecroft, fashions a disturbing and dazzling lost world.
Fierce and disturbing, with a plot that skillfully resists following any familiar course. The film's hero fears that he's half-crazy, and for two hours Mr. Gilliam artfully keeps his audience feeling the same way.
For all his daring, the brazen creator maintains control - there's aesthetic order in the disorder, and calculated reason in the madness. Seldom has it felt so good to seem so lost.
It's refreshing to encounter a movie with a logical, intelligent approach to the dangers of zipping through time.
One of the qualities that makes "12 Monkeys" so good is the fact that it is almost too complicated to explain.
A Hitchcockian chase...A crowd-pleasing airport-pursuit pic. [27 Dec 1995, p.D1]
As the jabbering psychotic Jeffrey Goines, Brad Pitt has a rabid, get-a-load-of-me deviousness that works for the film's central mystery: We can't tell where the fanatic leaves off and the put-on artist begins.
To Gilliam's quiver of attributes this new movie adds a quality that's on the endangered list in today's Hollywood: coherence.
That Terry Gilliam managed to make Twelve Monkeys into a clever, complex, and poignant success is as astonishing as it is satisfying.
Any laughs that it inspires will be very hollow. It's more of a celebration of madness and doom, with a hero who tries to prevail against the chaos of his condition, and is inadequate.
A grandiose cinematic invention, cleverly turning the present-day urban American world on its ear.
Mystifying, intriguing, even infuriating, it shows what happens when an unconventional talent meets straightforward material.
In a movie in which time travel is used to rectify the past, it's too bad scriptwriters David and Janet Peoples didn't go through the time/space tunnel to work on that first draft again.
A densely plotted, visually dynamic post-apocalyptic thriller.
Brad Pitt has fun with his secondary part as a pontificating lunatic, but I wish I'd enjoyed the rest of the cast more.
But finally the film is no more than a flamboyant curiosity, replacing the spooky obsessiveness of "La Jetée" with a much tamer kind of weirdness. Also with Brad Pitt, in a showy role as a voluble lunatic; he's dreadful.
Intent on both dazzling and punishing the viewer, Gilliam gets lost in creepy spectacle and plenty of old film clips (notably "Vertigo"). But at the sight of three giraffes crossing a city bridge, you'll think of a more recent movie. A bad one. [8 Jan 1996, p.69]
Gilliam's work is long on sensibility, short on sense.

The Hurt Locker(2008)by Kelsey Aicher | |
Film Monthly Home Archives Wayne Case Interviews Steve Anderson The Rant Short Takes (Archived) Small Screen Monthly Behind the Scenes New on DVD The Indies Horror Film Noir Coming Soon Now Playing Television Books on Film What's Hot at the Movies This Week Interviews TV |
Once again Kathryn Bigelow has proved capable of directing a testosterone-driven action film with enough heart to hold the interest of both genders. The Hurt Locker follows three members of the U.S. Army's bomb disposal team: Specialist Owen Eldridge (Brian Geraghty), the young coward, Sergeant JT Sanborn (Anthon Mackle), the cautious professional, and Staff Sergeant William James (Jeremy Renner), the reckless veteran. Their story begins when James takes over as head of the bomb disposal team. Eldridge and Sanborn are forced to comply with their new leader who has a way of doing thing his own way rather than following procedure. James seems to have no regard for danger, which makes Sanborn uncomfortable and Eldridge curious. The two don't take to James right away, but with each mission they carry out, they become closer. James offers something the other two didn't have prior to his arrival: fun. The audience watches the relationships grow, and before their eyes, James evolves from a reckless thrill-seeker to a caring human being and friend. Of course, life isn't all about the military for Sergeant James. He has a wife and child back home that frequent his thoughts. When he develops a relationship with a native boy, he is reminded again that he has a son of his own that he should be spending time with. In the end, it comes down to his family or the thrill of war. The insubordination of Staff Sergeant James seems unrealistic for a soldier who has been promoted to such a high position in the U.S. Army. One would have to wonder how defying orders would lead to promotion. Nonetheless, he is an intriguing character to follow who the audience can't help but grow attached to. Aside from questionable military behaviors of James, The Hurt Locker depicts what life is like for the armed forces in Iraq. Street vendors line up outside military camps. Innocent civilians are killed for no reason. Suicide bombers die for their causes. Shooting, bombing, burning, exploding. This film is chockfull of action to keep anyone entertained. And if that's not enough to hold attention, the witty dialogue among the male soldiers is sure to inspire at least a couple bursts of laughter. The cinematography is typical to modern action film trends with the frequent use of the hand-held camera, made popular by the Bourne movies. What sets it apart from the rest is the little cinematic "treats" scattered throughout. At the beginning, there is a shot lasting only a few seconds where the dirt and pebbles fly into the air in slow motion. There is an unexpected beauty in that brief moment. It is moments like that one that show the love and effort that was put into making this movie, and that makes it all the more successful. The Hurt Locker enters theaters nationwide on June 26. It is an entertaining action film that everyone is sure to enjoy. Kelsey Aicher is a screenwriting major at Columbia College Chicago. Got a problem? E-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com |
