Club competitions
National team competitions
Joensuun Kataja went down to a 66-58 defeat to Krasnye Krylia Samara but progressed to the Last 16 of the EuroChallenge regardless as results went their way in Group B.
Kataja had put themselves in control of the battle for second place with victory over Keravnos last time out, and as CSU Asesoft Ploiesti topped Keravnos 90-87, they took second place despite the loss.
Samara, looking to finalise a perfect record in the group, controlled the contest before allowing Kataja to come back in the final 10 minutes.
The hosts scored the opening seven points of the contest and were up 13-2 on Chester Simmons' jump-shot.
Kataja stormed back, and after a 6-0 burst early in the second quarter they were back to within 20-18 on Jerald Fields' jumper.
But Viktor Zaryazhko's three started a 12-2 run to half-time that gave Krasnye Krylia a 35-23 lead.
It was 47-28 after a jump-shot from Aaron Miles midway through the third period, and 58-40 to start the final stanza as the Red Wings looked like cruising to the finish.
Kataja thought otherwise, however, and back-to-back threes from Antti Kanervo and Jermaine Flowers sparked a 12-1 run.
Petri Virtanen ended the game with a three for the visitors as they cut the deficit to a respectable eight.
Simmons led Samara with 15 points while Nikita Balashov and Evgeny Kolesnikov had 10 each.
Flowers poured in 18 for Kataja while Fields added 16 and Virtanen 10.

I did not get into the first day of early access for SWTOR. And yeah, that kind of sucks a little.
But, you know, I'm rather okay with the method that Bioware chose to gate entry into early access. The people who pre-ordered first are the ones with the most faith in Bioware. The ones who were willing to put up their cash first as a concrete manifestation of their faith.
They made the largest sacrifice, such as it is. They were willing to "put their money where their mouth is".
And if Bioware rewards them by giving them first shot at early access by a day or two, then that's okay by me. It is a reasonably just way to determining who gets to go first.

[SWTOR] Pre-order Waves
I did not get into the first day of early access for SWTOR. And yeah, that kind of sucks a little.

Did you actually have to put up your cash to pre-order though? I've only ever pre-ordered one game (WAR), and I only had to plunk down five bucks - and when I decided not to buy it after all, I didn't even lose that, I got to roll it over into another purchase.

Eh, they still put up the $5 before everyone else. Made the commitment first.

I didn't have to put a deposit or anything when I pre-ordered in late July, I only got charged a couple of days ago since the box is supposed to be shipping today.
Don't know whether it's different in the UK though.
Got in yesterday afternoon, and I'm having to juggle between WoW raiding time and SWTOR levelling time.
It's a nice problem to have ;-)

Had to put up a $5 deposit in September. $5 is not a big deal really. Plus I got in yesterday 12/14. I agree that BIO, for one, has the right to launch anyway they want, and really I got in 1 day before I was told would be my actual day. So I'm pretty darn happy. But I would have been happy if I just got 1 day before launch instead of the 5 or 6.

I got in yesterday and started playing last night. I think they're doing a great job of introducing the player-base to the game and keeping the servers runnning under the load by bringing in the Early Access people in waves.

lets just hope the waitingtime on the servers dont get longer then they are now... 2 hours waiting after work to play for an hour cause i have to go to work the other day isnt realy that much fun. dont see me subscribing to this game if its still that way after the free month... just a waste of time even while the game seems to be fun.
just looking at the guilds that where put on my realm (darth traya eu)... nearly every guild has 100+ members (prelaunchprogramm). and their are much more players comming on rls/xmas. new servers dont fix this cause everybody wants to play with their friends. and those friends are allready on the crowded servers.

We can examine classes in Groovy to find out information in the form of strings.
Examining Classes
To find out a class's name and superclasses:
To examine the interfaces:
We can check if a class is a class or an interface:
We can examine public fields and their types:
We can look at a certain field of a class:
We can also look at the constructors and methods of a class:
Some code to find out all the getters for a class:
To see all nested classes for a particular class (eg, of Character):
To query a particular nested class (eg, Character.UnicodeBlock):
Reflecting the Reflection classes themselves
We can use reflection on the reflection classes themselves. For example:
We can look at the modifiers of methods and classes:
Manipulating Objects
When a class is unknown at compile time (eg, we only have a string representation of a class name), we can use reflection to create objects:
We can examine and change public fields for a class refering using a String for the name:
And we can call methods using a string for the name:
Working with Arrays
We can examine and manipulate arrays. To enquire the public array fields of a class:
To enquire the component type/s of an array:
We can create and copy arrays when their component type and size is unknown at compile time:
We can create multi-dimensional arrays in a similar way, where component type and array sizes can be unknown at compile time:
We can use set() and get() to copy the contents of one array index to another:
This tutorial is loosely based on Sun's tutorial on Java Reflection, but using Groovy code instead.

General Dynamics reports $2.13B 4Q loss
Wednesday - 1/23/2013, 12:09pm EST
FALLS CHURCH, Va. (AP) - Shares of General Dynamics fell more than 3 percent in midday trading Wednesday after the aerospace and defense company reported a huge fourth-quarter loss due to charges related to slowing defense spending.
The charges "reflect the fact that some of our markets are contracting as government budgets shrink at home and abroad," Chairman and CEO Phebe Novakovic said in a statement. "They also suggest opportunities for improvement in some areas of our performance, which we are addressing."
The Falls Church, Va., company said it lost $2.13 billion, or $6.07 per share during the October-December quarter, compared with net income of $603 million, or $1.68 per share, a year earlier.
Revenue fell almost 12 percent to $8.08 billion from $9.15 billion.
Excluding the charges, the company earned $491 million, or $1.39 per share. That fell far short of Wall Street expectations. Analysts polled by FactSet expected earnings of $1.90 per share, on average, on revenue of $8.8 billion.
General Dynamics Corp. shares fell $2.19, or 3.1 percent, to $68.52 in midday trading. They are trading in the middle of their 52-week range of $61.09 to $74.54.
The charges were a necessary step given the recent arrival of a new CEO at the company, Sterne Agee analysts Peter Arment and Josh Sullivan wrote Wednesday in a note to investors. They have rated the stock as "Buy," meaning they expect it to outperform the industry during the next year, and they set an $82 price target for the next 12 months.
The fourth-quarter results "reflect the difficult environment presented by defense budget dynamics partially offset by tremendous opportunity in the Aerospace segment," the analysts wrote. They also wrote that the stock will be under near-term pressure, but there's potential gain once it settles in the mid-$60s, because of a stable backlog of Gulfstream jet orders.
The company said that it recorded a $2 billion goodwill impairment charge in the latest quarter to reduce the value of its Information Systems & Technology group. The company said it took the charge to account for slowed defense spending. It also took $867 million in other charges for asset valuation drops in its Aerospace and Information Systems groups.
The company said it expects to earn $6.60 to $6.70 per share from continuing operations this year. Analysts expected $7.32 per share.
During the quarter, revenue fell for three of the company's four business units. Combat systems revenue was down 24 percent, while Marine Systems was off 5.3 percent and Information Systems was down almost 12 percent. Only Aerospace, which includes Gulfstream jets, reported an increase, and that was only 0.2 percent.
For the full year, the company reported a loss of $332 million, or 94 cents per share, including the charges. That compares with net income of $2.53 billion profit, or $6.87 per share, in 2011. Full-year revenue fell 3.6 percent to $31.5 billion.

A genuine theft occurred Friday night in Logan and law enforcement did nothing about it.
Shall we discuss Chapmanville Regional High School's disturbing "win" over Scott Friday evening at Logan? Playing in the sectional finals, the Tigers were declared the victors before a large crowd, including the arena's namesake, legendary Logan High Coach Willie Akers.
Akers looks better and better each time I see him after his tragic accident at the Charleston Civic Center. He improves each day, it seems, which is good news for all basketball fans in the state.
But Akers and the hundreds of other fans saw a robbery right in front of their eyes Friday. The crime was committed for all the world to see. Perhaps state police and sheriff's deputies were not "beckoned" onto the floor to prevent the theft. Nevertheless, it DID occur.
The CRHS-Scott game was stolen from the Skyhawks. And the theft was not done by anyone from Chapmanville, a community and school I came to love dearly during the time I covered the Tigers for The Lincoln Journal. I still consider many at Chapmanville among my best friends in the world. Still, the game official, who I will leave unnamed for the moment, stole the game right in front of that huge crowd.
Normally, I do not think a game official can actually change the outcome of a game. Usually, even if I disagree with a call on the court, I realize nobody is perfect and errors do occur. Even I, the omnipotent one, made a mistake in 1972 and another in 1986.
But this game official did take the contest away from Scott — or at least the potential of Scott winning. There definitely should have been an overtime at Logan because Logan Webb's bucket with four seconds on the clock was signaled a trey by the official and it WAS a 3-pointer. Game film will leave no question about that. So, the change to make it a two-pointer was simply, and totally, incorrect. THAT alone was enough to cost the Skyhawks a shot at winning in overtime.
The bigger "crime," though, is that the official did not have the common sense to let everyone know he had finally called it a deuce. With four seconds left, if Scott Coach Nick Cabell and his assistants had any idea the game was not tied, the Skyhawks would have immediately fouled someone from CRHS. Facing a free throw line with the game on the line, Chapmanville might have missed. Scott would then have had three seconds or so to make the winning bucket.
That official had to know everyone but he thought the game was tied. The scoreboard said it was; and Scott dropped back frantically trying to stop a desperate CRHS shot that might have won the game. CRHS threw up a shot at the buzzer, which they would never have done if they believed they were ahead by one. The evidence is overwhelming.
Only after time expired did the official join his two compatriots at center court to discuss the matter. When they finally emerged to say Chapmanville had won by one point, the theft was confirmed. There was no time for Scott to do ANYTHING; no appeals board for Cabell to go to with game film.
Actually, all three referees could be charged with the heist. It is incomprehensible for me to believe three supposedly qualified officials would have let the game end that way. They ALL knew everyone thought the game was tied for that final four seconds. At the very least, one of them should have said, "Well, to be fair, we'll have to reset the clock to four seconds and let CRHS inbound it." That none of them did that is astounding and another example of why fans detest mediocre refs.
A likely high school state tournament bid was denied because game officials were too inept to figure out if a 3-point shot was lifted or if it was a two. And how on earth did the official who initially signaled the shot a 3-pointer manage to change his mind? He, likewise, did not have benefit of replay to determine where Webb's feet were when the shot went off. Since he called it a 3 to start with, what changed his mind?
Scott now has to regroup and try to figure a way to beat a powerhouse Poca team that is ranked second in the state and has been mowing down opponents with ease of late. To say that the Skyhawks are now tremendous underdogs is an understatement. They would have been favored by 20 points against Nicholas County, if the officials had not stolen the game from them. It's as simple as that: highway robbery in Willie Akers Arena and nobody can do anything about it. Game officials in West Virginia high school already think they are omnipotent. Now, they know they can control who goes to the state tournament. Shame on anyone who treats high school student/athletes, no matter which school they represent, that way.
* * * * * *
On the other hand, I am delighted that CRHS will now likely make the state field for the first time in Chapmanville history. I just wish they had done it fairly and squarely — and again it is not their fault that they didn't.
The old Chapmanville High and now CRHS have had some pretty fine teams in years past but never managed to go to the state's big dance. That means more than a half-century of frustration will be overcome with a Tiger victory over Nicholas. The odds are that the Tigers will head to Charleston next week.
Head Coach Allan Hatcher, a coaching legend himself, did a masterful job in melding his talent at CRHS. As usual, Hatcher worked well with his players and staff. His winning attitude did much to further the team to greatness.
Because of my affection for Chapmanville, I want to see the Tigers win as many games as possible. While my son graduated from Logan and I also cheer for the Wildcats, I have a soft spot for Chapmanville and willingly admit it.
I regret that the first CRHS appearance in Charleston comes as the result of a tainted victory. The game should have gone on to overtime, where I suspect Scott would have prevailed. However, it did not. So, I am pleased as a Tiger fan but disappointed in the way the win was engineered by inept game officials.
It is sad but true. But, let me repeat, Chapmanville did nothing wrong. They just accepted an outcome that was incorrect — and they had no choice but to do so.
* * * * * *
While his team will likely be contemplating its trip to Charleston Friday, CRHS Head Coach Hatcher may well be focused on another matter. That is the date set for a hearing of the charges against his son, Logan High Coach Mark Hatcher.
Mark Hatcher was charged with assaulting a police officer during a melee at Chapmanville on December 14, 2013. The fight broke out after Logan and Scott players became entangled following a free throw miss.
The elder Hatcher actually left his team bench during the following tournament game to advocate for his son at the Chapmanville police headquarters. In apparent violation of West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission (SSAC) rules, Allan Hatcher left his spot on the bench vacant for several minutes while he appeared at police headquarters with his son.
Mark Hatcher maintains he was simply trying to break up the scuffle when he pushed a Chapmanville town police officer. The officer also maintains that the Logan coach pushed him as he tried to escort Mark Hatcher back to the LHS bench. Video of the brawl appears to show Hatcher pushing the officer on the floor but does not include any film of the alleged push on the way back to the bench.
Some Hatcher defenders have insisted law enforcement officers, at the game for security, could not legally come onto the floor without being "beckoned" to do so by game officials. Back to the omnipotency of game officials, I guess. Nobody at the SSAC had every heard of such a rule when I asked them about it and it is generally accepted that law enforcement officials can enforce the law anywhere at any time in their jurisdiction.
I have said that Hatcher will never be tried in Logan County and I still have my doubts. I am confident the worst he would ever get would be a slap on the wrist from the Logan judicial system, over which his step-father, Circuit Judge Eric O'Briant, presides. I am also convinced the Logan board of education will continue to keep their collective heads in the sand as they have done during previous episodes involving Mark Hatcher.

In an answer to the inevitable question, "is there any way Scott can beat Poca," the answer is a definite yes. As one Scott partisan told me, though, it "will take the worst game played by Poca this year and the best one played by Scott."
The Dots are THAT good under Coach Allen Osborne. The veteran coach has tremendous talent coupled with his unquestioned coaching skills.
Still, on some evenings this year, Scott has appeared capable of being anyone in Class AA. I believe that kind of performance is still in the Hawks and they stand a reasonable chance Thursday. Chapmanville, meanwhile, should have no trouble with Nicholas County.
It would be fabulous if both CRHS and Scott made the state tourney field.

Among the many fans supporting CRHS during their tourney run were those from Harts. It should never be ignored that CRHS is a consolidation of the old Harts High and Chapmanville. Nobody should miss the fact, either, that CRHS athletic teams have improved with the addition of the players from Harts Creek. There is a reason Harts was a regular state tournament contender in Class A while Chapmanville High was not. That's the pure and simple truth. While I appreciate and value my friends from Chapmanvile, I hope they never forget what Harts has done for them.

Living with achalasia like Seahawk Malcolm Smith
On February 3, 2014, Yahoo Sports published an article regarding this years' Super Bowl MVP, Malcolm Smith, as not only achieving recognition for his Super Bowl performance, but also dealing with a rare swallowing disorder known as achalasia.
Achalasia is a rare disorder with a prevalence of 10 cases per 100,000 individuals. Men and women are equally affected and it is usually diagnosed between the ages of 25 to 60 years. The disease often comes on slowly and is gradually progressive with problems swallowing solids and liquids, and movement of undigested food particles back up into the mouth unintentionally (bland regurgitation). Patients also often complain of a burning chest sensation. Other symptoms include hiccups, difficulties belching, and sometimes weight loss.
The condition can be seen with radiology studies including a barium esophagram that shows a dilated, or larger than normal, caliber of the esophagus with a narrowing or tightness at the lower esophageal sphincter. The lower esophageal sphincter is located at the end of the esophagus before it enters the stomach. An upper endoscopy or camera study is often performed to evaluate the esophagus and stomach closely. It is ultimately diagnosed with high-resolution esophageal manometry, which is a technique for evaluating esophageal motor dysfunction or movement disorders of the esophagus.
Once achalasia is diagnosed, there are different treatment options ...
Troubles swallowing food or liquids – what does it mean?
Oropharyngeal dysphagia is related to problems with the initiation of the swallows and clearing the food bolus from the mouth to the esophagus. This usually occurs within a second of swallowing and you may feel that you cannot initiate a swallow or food hangs up in the neck region. A test that is commonly used to evaluate this is a modified barium swallow or videofluoroscopic swallowing study. This study provides critical information on inability or excessive delay in initiation of swallowing, unintentional inhalation of food, unintentional expulsion of food from the nose or mouth, and/or abnormal retention of food in the back of the throat after swallowing. Most ...
Is the FODMAP diet right for you?
FODMAPs is an acronym, coined by two Australian researchers, that refers to Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides and Polyols. These are small chain sugars, fibers, and sugar alcohols that are poorly digested by humans, but are easily digested by the bacteria in your intestine and colon. When the bacteria consume FODMAPs, they produce gas, which leads to symptoms of gas, bloating, abdominal discomfort, and changes in bowel movements. The FODMAP diet is used to alleviate the impact these types of foods have on your gastrointestinal tract.
A diet low in FODMAPs food was designed to help minimize symptoms in individuals that suffer from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and functional bloating. You should discuss your symptoms with your physician prior to starting this diet since other gastrointestinal related disorders need to be excluded first (i.e., celiac disease, thyroid disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and others).
If a diet low in FODMAP is recommended for you ...

Comments about SRAM X7 3X9 GXP Crankset:
This is my upgrade from a stock crank, and a great upgrade at that! I ride 50/50 on the trails and road and this crank set works very well with both. I can get to a nice high speed on the road, and on the trails the big sprocket isn't entirely too big for the trails. Watch out for rock gardens though! I grazed a little metal off on some rocks, After a little filing the crank doesn't seem bothered by it. The GXP design rocks! With it tightening down from the outside the bearing is sealed pretty well, and it spins with ease. I haven't had one problem with it.

Havelock commissioners held fast to their pledge not to raise property taxes, but the result may be an increase in water and sewer rates, trash fees and a loss of employee positions.
After receiving instructions from the board last week to rework the 2013-14 budget, Finance Director Lee Tillman presented the proposal to the board during a meeting Monday at Havelock City Hall.
The proposed $15.6 million spending plan leaves the property tax rate at 46.5 cents per $100 in property value but does include a 1.7 percent Consumer Price Index increase on water and sewer rates that will mean an average increase of $1.25 per month per household. The cost of trash pickup would increase 55 cents per month from $13.95 to $14.50, less than the $16.77 originally proposed.
Commissioners agreed to cut the public information officer position from 40 hours per week to 24 hours and eliminate a senior planner position in the city's planning department. The group considered but held back on cutting a recreation maintenance position.
The city also plans changes to collection of yard debris as well as old furniture and appliances.
Public services director Bill Ebron said time and money could be saved on the estimated 1,500 stops city trucks make at residences in a given month if residents simply made their yard waste neater along the road.
"We would require that it would be placed in an acceptable manner, all in one direction," he said. "It's amazing what we go get in trying to pick it up. It amounts to a lot of time trying to pull things apart. It's like dealing with hard crabs. Everything connects up. They are pulling it all over the street. You're adding time to the whole thing, so you get into labor impact, fuel costs for the whole time that truck is running, so it does add up."
He also said residents would have to place all leaves, pine straw, grass and hedge clippings, and small twigs in clear plastic bags, except during loose leaf season from November to February.
"The enforcement of it would have to be tightened up considerably," Ebron said. "Initially we are going to get some phone calls."
Commissioners did raise concerns.
"I'm not going to ask senior citizens to bag their leaves," Jim Stuart said. "I'm not going to ask people who may not be physically capable to pack that stuff up."
Ebron said many other cities use the same system.
"This is not recreating the wheel. This is pretty much standard," Ebron said.
Commissioner Karen Lewis said bagging yard waste is designed to help the city.
"We're not saying that they are not going to get the service," she said. "We're just asking for them to do just a little bit to help us."
Havelock Mayor Jimmy Sanders said for residents with a lot of trees, bagging leaves would be a huge job.
"It is no small task for a lot of people to do that," he said.
Stuart said he would rather increase taxes by sixth-tenths of a cent than ask that residents bag their leaves.
"A 75-year-old arthritic individual is not going to want to bag that mess," he said.
Commissioner George Liner mentioned hidden costs for residents.
"Why make them go out and buy plastic bags," he said. "It's costing them more to have to buy the bags."
Currently, discarded items such as old furniture, mattresses, refrigerators and stoves are picked up once per week, but under the proposal, residents would have to call to have such items picked up.
Havelock has scheduled a public hearing on the proposed 2013-14 budget for 7 p.m. June 10 at Havelock City Hall.
"We need to hear from the public about how they feel," Liner said.

Roasted Holiday Turkey Cooking Guide
ven roasting is a straightforward method of cooking that surrounds uncovered food with indirect, dry heat – which may sound somewhat oxymoronic when looking for a way to cook a tender and juicy bird. However, with a few simple techniques, it is actually quite easy to oven roast a succulent, golden brown turkey worthy of any feast.
Get to Know Your Bird
Every November, the topic generating the most buzz nation-wide is how to roast your Thanksgiving turkey without drying it out. However, a month later when the celebrated Christmas goose takes center stage you never hear another peep on the matter, (pardon our bird pun). That's because these literally, are two different animals.
Turkey is a very lean and comparatively thin-skinned bird, without the benefit of a goose's generous layer of fat beneath the skin to naturally protect it from the dry oven heat. Further, when roasted breast up, a turkey's leanest meat takes the most direct hit from the oven heat for the full duration of cooking. This is why you rarely hear anyone complain about dry dark meat. So, if you simply compensate for the turkey's thin skin and lack of protective fat, you will be well on your way to roasting a perfectly moist and juicy bird.
The Bird and The B's
Several cooking techniques address this issue, and there are several takes on each technique. All begin by first protecting the fully prepared bird, most especially the breast, with a layer of good quality fat, and then employ basting, to further protect the bird during cooking. Here is the first of a few different techniques:
The simplest technique is to borrow fat from a duck, which like the goose has plenty of quality fat to spare, and our wonderful pure, rendered duck fat is just the ticket for this occasion. All you do is pat the turkey dry with a paper towel, and rub it all over with a generous coating of softened duck fat, before seasoning with a good salt and freshly ground pepper. This fat will help the salt and pepper stay put, and more important, it will help the skin to brown. Not only is browned skin beautiful and tasty, it seals in natural juices during cooking. Roasting with our duck fat will create crispy brown and delicately delicious skin, and it is an especially good solution if you prefer using little or no dairy, such as butter.
In addition to protecting with fat, you can also sear the skin to help lock in juices by starting the bird in a 450° or 500° degrees F oven for the first 30 minutes, then reducing the oven temperature to 325° or 350° degrees F for the duration of roasting time. Conventional slow roasting is done at 325° or 350° degrees F for the entire duration. If a particular recipe calls for a specific temperature, there is usually a reason, but for searing, the hotter the better and for general oven roasting both 325° and 350° degrees F are appropriate temperatures.
After the bird is in the oven for about 20 minutes, baste regularly with additional melted duck fat, until roasting creates enough pan drippings to baste the whole turkey. Proper and frequent basting will keep the meat from drying out. Baste a big bird at least every 20 minutes, and smaller ones about every 15 minutes because the cooking time is shorter. Remember to baste the entire exposed bird not just the breast.

James O'Connor has aggravated a hamstring injury and may miss the Rebels' two matches in South Africa.
The Wallabies' utility back made his comeback from a liver injury on Friday, but left the field with a hamstring complaint. O'Connor will undergo further scans to reveal the extent of the injury, but according to Rebels coach Damien Hill he is unlikely to be risked for the coming matches against the Lions and Stormers.
Meanwhile, the Sydney Morning Herald has confirmed that Rebels back Mark Gerrard will be returning to Japanese club rugby at the end of the current Super Rugby season.

Where's GOP on wage protection?
Our laws are quite clear: workers must be paid at least the minimum wage, overtime pay is time-and-a-half, and not paying workers while they work "off-the-clock" is illegal. Responsible businesses -- but by no means all businesses -- abide by these laws.
I have a young friend, who, as a teenager, worked for a small coffee shop. He didn't get paid the minimum wage. One day when he showed up for work, the business had shut down, and he was left with no pay for his previous week of work. Put yourself in his shoes -- young, inexperienced, and intimidated by the boss. He wasn't going to question the boss. He just wanted the work ... and his pay.
But it's not only fly-by-night businesses that steal wages. In 2008, Wal-Mart agreed to settle 63 cases of wage violations, including those perpetrated here in Washington.
Bad businesses that don't respect workers -- much less the rule of law -- have one goal: make off with as much money as possible. Undermining the legal pay and practices of decent businesses is just part of their business model.
That's why a democratic government is so important. It sets the boundaries for power and limits exploitation. It makes sure that employers don't steal from workers. It reins in excessive greed that would otherwise destroy our markets.
At least, that's what is supposed to happen.
We have a problem here in our state: bad employers can, and do, rip off workers by not paying their rightful wages. Workers are fearful to report these violations, so in practice there are few, if any, penalties for those bad businesses. It's happening elsewhere too: a recent survey of New York, Chicago and Los Angeles found that over a quarter of low-wage workers were victims of wage theft by their employers.
A group of legislators in Olympia has proposed putting some real teeth into Washington's wage protection standards. House Bill 1440 would make employers pay for their violations of the law by increasing fines for stealing wages, and it giving employees the right to pursue civil action against their employers.
But there's something curious about the bill's sponsors. State Representative John McCoy (D-Tulalip), is the prime mover and shaker for this bill. Reps. Cindy Ryu (D-Shoreline), Mike Sells (D-Everett), Mary Helen Roberts (D-Edmonds) , and Luis Moscoso (D-Bothell) are also sponsors for this legislation. What's curious (and disappointing) is that they're all Democrats.
You'd think Republicans would jump on board -- especially those who believe citizens and businesses should obey the law. After all, HP 1440 would give legitimate and responsible businesses some protection from those that break the law and get away with it just to pad their bottom line.
The "Ensuring fairness to employers by protecting employees" bill, as HB 1440 is known, evens up the playing field between businesses by making sure all of them adhere to the law. But no Republicans are signed up as sponsors. Not Mike Hope (R-Lake Stevens), nor Dan Kristiansen (R-Snohomish), nor Elizabeth Scott (R-Monroe).
What kind of message does that send? That when bad businesses break the law, that's OK? Or when these same businesses threaten workers whom they have already shortchanged, no worries?
This isn't something to sit on the fence about. When workers work, they have a right to their wages, plain and simple. And you'd be hard pressed to find a single person -- in any legislative district in Washington, right- or left-leaning -- who disagrees.
Laws are to be enforced. Otherwise, what's the point of making them? Democracy isn't some cafeteria menu, where you can decide what laws you will abide by and which ones you will violate. That would be the law of the jungle.

ELON — David Wood hugged his Elon University baseball teammates one by one after an impromptu gathering in the outfield at a practice in which he wasn't participating in May 2011.
The Phoenix would go on to win a Southern Conference championship.
Wood would go home to New Jersey.
"We were driving home and he was crying because he had just said good-bye to his friends," said Jaclyn Wood, his twin sister and an Elon soccer player. "He was balling his eyes out. He really didn't think he was coming back. That was the plan."
Perhaps that wasn't the image of some tough-guy football player, but David Wood's route was about to change again. He had determined that his baseball path as an outfielder — mostly used as a pinch runner in two seasons — wasn't working out.
Football had been a fall-back option from his days at Saint Joseph Regional, where he helped the team to a state championship and earned all-state recognition.
"I decided I missed football," he said. "I had to make a decision at the end of my sophomore year. I knew I missed playing football and somewhere I would play."
He had checked in with football assistant coach Chris Pincince before leaving the Elon campus, but he fully expected to be joining the football program at Holy Cross, Georgetown or some other Northeast or Mid-Atlantic destination. Wood said a quick decision needed to be made because so many programs already had their rosters lined up.
It was an unsettling time because he had cleaned out his locker and cleared out his apartment, taking all his belongings to Park Ridge, N.J. Not to mention there was about to be another separation from his sister who had altered her college choice once before.
"And now I'm leaving her," he said. "My parents were upset because they love Elon."
By summer, an offer came via a telephone call from Ed Pinkham, Elon's defensive coordinator. Wood was headed back to Alamance County, though he was about to step into a different world.
He had only spoke to Phoenix coach Jason Swepson, who had yet to coach his first game with Elon, on the phone. And he needed a crash course to learn about the school's football players.
"He kind of jumped a wall there," Elon linebacker Jonathan Spain said.
There was lots to do before he could land a role with the Elon football team.
"I needed some roommates," he said, moving in with Spain, quarterback Mike Quinn and tight end Brice Wordsworth. "Guys I never knew before."
That was a two-way street. Even on Elon's relatively small campus, there are dividing lines. Quinn, who lives in New Jersey about a 15-mile drive from Wood's hometown, had been in a class with his new teammate, but didn't mingle with him.
"I knew the name David Wood. He played baseball," Quinn said. "It's probably hard for him to adopt. But everyone was embracing him."
Wood had been busy transforming his body from the 5-foot-10, 150-pound outfielder to the 170-pound return specialist and cornerback. He was a regular on punt and kickoff returns last year, then became a starting cornerback this year, which is his junior season in eligibility.
"I had a summer to train and get ready," he said. "The biggest thing, I had to put on some weight for football. I don't mind the contact. I'm a little guy so I try to prove people wrong.
"I was nervous coming in and changing over. I didn't know how I was going to play, not playing football in awhile."
Swepson said he initially wasn't ready to make a commitment with a scholarship offer. That changed, and Wood ended up with key roles nearly from the get-go.
"We're glad that David is with us," Swepson said. "He's a mature player and he has some athleticism that we've been able to use in some different places."
Previously, Wood immersed himself in baseball, figuring that would be his college activity. Jaclyn Wood often attended games, enjoying time with friends but not seeing much of her brother on the field.
"I would go and be there for him," she said. "It was hard to sit there when he didn't get in."
As a pinch runner, he stole a base and scored the only run in Elon's dramatic ninth-inning victory against Samford to start the 2010 Southern Conference Tournament, an outcome that helped propel the Phoenix to the NCAA Tournament that year.
"That was the highlight of baseball pretty much," he said.
A year later, Wood wasn't around for the end of the regular season after that gathering at practice. His departure meant he didn't receive a championship ring for the 2011 regular-season accomplishment.
He said many of his baseball teammates, though "they understood what I needed to do," didn't think he'd really leave.
"It was probably the worst day of my life," he said. "At that point, I thought I was leaving Elon and a great group of friends. I always really wanted to stay at Elon. I was devastated.
"I needed to go home and see what's best for me."
The baseball bonds have been good to grasp, though he rarely sees that group much these days.
Wood said it's typical to receive an encouraging text message from baseball coach Mike Kennedy, who he has spotted at football games and considers that yet another sign of support.
"We all saw his high school highlights," Kennedy said. "He needed to give football a shot."
Now, Wood has an identity as a football player.
"I didn't know who he was. I didn't know he existed," Spain said of before Wood's change in sports. "At first (when he joined the team), I just knew him as a speedy guy. It's just incredible how he could come to the football field and not only play, but start as a corner.
"He's always with us now. Once you join football, then you're one of us."
But just to make sure the baseball background hasn't totally disappeared …
"I always give him crap about his batting average," Spain said.
Yet the best part for Jaclyn Wood is that her brother still carries the label as an Elon student.
When he arrived as a baseball player, she was at Villanova in the soccer program. The twins had been separated, and that was unusual.
"My brother was down here and he said he loved it here," she said. "It was very different. When I was at Villanova, I would talk to him almost every day. It was really hard, especially when I wasn't happy.
"I think David is a little bit more laid back than I am. Doesn't say as much as I do."
By the second semester of their freshman year, she had transferred to Elon and became a soccer walk-on, a status that has since grown to a scholarship level.
With their hectic schedules in different sports, they have only occasional get-togethers even if they're only a practice field away. Once a week, they'll usually manage to hang out or grab a meal together.
Jaclyn has ended up a captain of the soccer team. On Sunday, she scored the winning goal in Elon's Southern Conference Tournament quarterfinal game at Appalachian State.
"Being so far away from home, I'm so happy that he's here," she said. "I'm really happy that he didn't decide (to transfer) because I wouldn't be as happy if he wasn't here. It would have been so different for me if he wasn't here.
"Socially and academically, David has really done well here. I told him this was the place for him to be. I think it really is going to be a happy ending."
The Wood siblings, who turned 22 last weekend, expect to walk together during commencement exercises in May. Jaclyn will leave with a degree as a physical education and health major, hoping someday to coach soccer.
David, who majors in media arts and entertainment, will stick around for a final season of college football next fall, pursuing a minor in business.
So for him, it's like an extended stay, a far reach from the painstaking struggle regarding his future slight more than 17 months ago when he ended up in Kennedy's office.
"A lot of crying and saying what I had to do," he said. "It was an emotional time. It was a hard decision. Never thought I would be back."
The last two autumns have worked out well for their parents, often able to make a weekend trip and witness a couple of soccer games and a football game.
Then it will come full circle for David Wood, the lone member of the family enrolled at Elon.
"We're real close," he said. "This is her last year, so I'll be back without her. It has worked out great, no regrets.
"I stayed at a school that I loved. It's ending perfect."

The ASPCA Emergency Boarding Facility has been up and running in Brooklyn since Saturday November 17! Our dedicated staff and volunteers are currently caring for about 150 animals and providing relief to Sandy victims who need temporary housing for their pets. Check out photos of the operation in our Facebook album.
This week, we received pets at locations near the hardest hit areas, including the Rockaways and Coney Island on Monday and Tuesday and Staten Island and Red Hook later in the week. The facility has also welcomed pets who were being housed at evacuation centers or a Sean Casey Animal Rescue facility, as well as animals dropped off directly by their families.
Made possible in part thanks to a $500,000 grant from Rachael Ray, this free service was created in response to the many pet parents who asked for a place to board animals until they found new homes. With the help of volunteers from the ASPCA Adoption Center, Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals and elsewhere, we're aiming to give hundreds of families a chance to rebuild their lives without having to say goodbye to their beloved furry family members.
Watch this blog for updates.
If you or someone you know was affected by Sandy and would like to use our free boarding service, please read this post for details.
If you would like to donate to our Disaster Relief Fund, you can do so here.
Thank you, Ms. Ray for giving the donation you did. It is so hard seeing uncared for pets around the neighborhood and now even more are displaced because of Sandy. You need to ask your friends in the entertainment field to add to your contribution. How about instead of that "splurging" at X-mas for gifts, we can give a donation in somone's name to help ALL of our Sandy animals. They are always there for us, we need to be there for them now.
So thankful for people like Rachael Ray.... I will help as much as can and I'm sure so will many others... God Bless ALL the volunteers and sending my prayers to the victims, human and animal.
Thank You Rachael Ray for your generosity. Can you all imagine Rachael Ray and Bob Barkers animal Kindness and donations together What a pair they would be Wow.
Rachael Ray, thank you with all my heart. I'm actually a "Coney Island Baby," but have lived in Florida since 1985. I cannot imagine what I would have done if this hurricane had affected us in this way. I have an aging diabetic cat (he was a rescue). He survived the summer of hurricanes in 2004, even though the trailer he lived in blew away and his owner wound up who-knows-where. He was a trailer-park cat for about a year, living on handouts. Just the thought of entrusting ANYONE to refrigerate his insulin, administer exactly 4 units twice a day terrifies me. Thank you for your generosity. I pray that all the families affected by this hurricane will find decent housing soon, and not forget the pets they dropped off.
What a wonderful gift. More people should be so generous. My smallgift helps but your grant makes a world of difference to so many. Tahnkyou for your generousity. You are a good person.
Bless you, Rachael! If each of us just gave $5 -- can you imagine how many "babies" we could care for! Sent mine -- how about the rest of you??
I am too old and out of shape to physically go and help due to the destruction of Hurricane Sandy. However, I can donate a little as every bit helps, I guess. But You Rachael Ray to donate $500,000 to ASPCA, you are an angel who really does speak for the animals. Thank you so much. You have a fan for life.
Thank you very much for your donation. May god Bless you more and more! You have a new viewer now. Thank you again.
Thank you so for Rachel Rea !!!!!! God bless you always!!:)
Thank you Rachel Ray, for your kindness and generosity in donating to have this wonderful Boarding Facilities for the pets that need a place to stay until their families find new housing. You are a wonderful person and a "true angel".
