You can say the United Nations has just done it, Nike fashion.
In a partnership deal that is raising eyebrows, U. N. secretary-general Kofi Annan launched a program on Wednesday for corporations, including Nike Inc., to uphold human rights standards in countries where they operate.
Called the "Global Compact," the program is a meeting of 44 multinational corporations, labor unions, human rights and conservation groups in an effort to stave off the backlash against globalization that grabbed international attention with the disturbances at the World Trade Organization conference in Seattle last year.
'Remember Davos, Remember Seattle'
The concept was first floated in a January 1999 speech by Annan at the World Economic Forum, a weeklong annual meeting of elite business figures at Davos in the Swiss Alps.
He warned that market expansion and protection of private property was moving far faster than rules on social and environmental rights, thereby triggering a backlash against trade liberalization.
But it was Seattle that spurned him to action.
"The secretary general was concerned that the backlash against globalization had no direction. He was concerned about reactions that were opposed to openness, that were inward-oriented," said Georg Kell, a senior officer at the executive office of the Secretary General.
Global Compact requires corporations to commit themselves to nine key principles embodied in U.N. treaties or risk a backlash from poor nations left out of globalization. These include ending sweatshop conditions, child labor, discrimination against minorities and developing environmentally friendly technologies. Once a year on a special U.N. Web site, they must publicize how they have succeeded in applying the U.N. principles of good international behavior.
'Wrong' Corporations
But skeptics wonder if it's seemly for the United Nations to do business with big business. Some even call it a deal with the devil. Greenpeace, the international environmental organization, has denounced the plan, saying it could provide "abusive corporations with a prestigious platform from which they can 'greenwash' themselves."
Or 'bluewash' as a coalition of human rights and environmental groups charge, referring to the blue and white colors of the United Nations. In a letter to the Secretary General, the coalition denounced the collaboration as "threatening the mission and integrity of the U.N."
"We understand the United Nations has to use the services of the private sector and has to become more business friendly, but we believe the United Nations has signed up with the wrong corporations," said Kenny Brown, U.N. Project Coordinator for the Transnational Resource and Action Center.
Some of the companies in the program have been criticized for their labor and human rights records. Nike Inc., for one, was harshly criticized in 1997 and 1998 for having its sporting goods made in Asian sweatshops. Royal Dutch/Shell has come under fire for its practices in Nigeria and Rio Tinto PLC, the giant mining group, has long been the target of environmental campaigns.
Other corporations include DaimlerChrysler AG, Unilever Plc Deutsche Bank AG, BP Amoco PlcNovartis AG LM Ericsson as well as companies in India, Pakistan, Norway, Mexico, South Africa, Denmark, Thailand and Peru.

"Changing the fundamental shape of a tool is always difficult. Whether it's saw or an enzyme. But working longer hours with the same tool is infinitely easier. What we've achieved, is to make enzymes work longer hours", explains Hatzakis.
Scrutiny on the Nanoscale
Observing that enzymes even have an on-off switch may sound easy, but first the Bio Nano- team had to devise a way to study individual enzyme molecules. These are so small, that there are trillions in just a drop of water. So measuring the work of only one enzyme could be compared to looking down from the moon to detect each time a carpenter in a building in Copenhagen swings his hammer.
Light emitting fat
To perform their studies the researchers chose a fat degrading lipase enzyme model system in collaboration with Danish industrial enzyme producer Novozymes.
They used "fat" that would emit light each time the enzyme took a bite. This way they could monitor each and every catalytic cycle or single movement of work. To ensure realism the enzymes were placed on an artificial cell wall. An "in vivo like membrane system", says Stamou.
"Natural enzymes live in cells. Looking at them in a non native environment, would tell us as much as looking at a carpenter working in outer space wearing a space suit would tell us about builders", explains Dimitrios Stamou and concludes:
"Now that we have understood how to switch enzymes on and off we could use this knowledge in the future both for curing diseases but also to design novel enzymes for industrial applications".

2007 Aubrey Graham Interview -- the Early Drake YearsPosted on 01/21/2011 by Mary
Before he was Drake, he was Degrassi's Jimmy. And right after he put the finishing touches on the Comeback Season mixtape, he gave us one of his trademark super-candid interviews about... everything. Uh, his days of wearing Lady Speed Stick, why he's not interested in a "yes man", and the REAL reason he never answers his phone.
Aubs, we miss you to death, and we remain prouder than peacocks of your ongoing world domination. Couldn't happen to a better guy.
It's Degrassi night on The Nightlife!Posted on 08/19/2010 by Chairman Nick Cannon
Don't forget to keep it locked after Degrassi tonight! 'Cause we've got Landon Liboiron (your boy Declan!) in the VIP, and a video from Degrassi super-alumnus Drake.
Even though Jimmy on Degrassi was before my time here at TeenNick, Drake and I met a long time ago at a Teen Choice Awards show... those were the days. It's a great feeling to see him blowing up now, and an even greater feeling to be able to crank up the video for "Find Your Love" tonight.
Oh, and my friend T.I. will be there, too. No big thing, just the King of the South. It's like that at The Nightlife.
Drake's old days on Degrassi - next week!Posted on 06/16/2010 by Mary
Sittin' here, listening to Drake's first full-length album (out now!), remembering when he (or Jimmy, anyway) was a big ol' 8th grader on Degrassi, going out with Ashley, abusing Ritalin, fighting with Spinner over dance contests and mp3 players.
And all of that's gonna be on next week -- the Degrassi Every Episode Ever marathon starts Monday at 6pm et and rolls right on through for four weeks. Wash all your softest jammy pants, yr gonna need 'em.

The 2010 Zolo Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is a worthy follow-up to the 2009. It has a sedate, well-defined bouquet of kirsch, cranberry, raspberry and that gravel note. The palate is full-bodied and well-balanced with earthy ripe black fruit. It is a little broody, but draws you in, and the finish is powerful but wonderfully focused. This is a classy Cabernet.

Municipality orders them to shift from banana leaves to plates
KOZHIKODE: The Vadakara municipality has asked its health standing committee to vigorously pursue its earlier decision to impose the use of plates instead of banana leaves in hotels in the municipal area.
The municipality council, at its meeting here on Tuesday, gave the green signal for action against hotels that use banana leaves to serve food. Edayath Sreedharan, health standing committee chairman, said that the municipality had asked the committee to take all necessary steps, including cancellation of licenses of hotels.
Mr. Sreedharan said that the municipality had taken a decision in the second week of September to ask hotels to use plates (excluding plastic plates) instead of banana leaves to serve food.
This decision was taken in view of the difficulty in treating waste at the trenching ground at Puthiyapp.
"More than 10,000 banana leaves find their way to the trenching ground daily from nearly 150 hotels in Vadakara, making it difficult to treat them," pointed out Mr. Sreedharan.
But, the hotels in the area are facing a shortage of water to clean the plates. V.K. Sukumaran, secretary of the Vadakara Hotel Association, said that the Kerala Water Authority (KWA) provided water only once a week. "If we were provided with water at least two to three days a week, we could have used plates.," he said.
Mr. Sukumaran noted that customers in Vadakara preferred to eat in banana leaves, unlike those in the city. "If we discontinue with banana leaves, we will lose these customers. Moreover, if hotel owners treat the banana leaf waste on their own premises the municipality cannot complain," he said.
Another problem that the hotels face is the shortage of labourers.

Music Production & Engineering Courses
This course allows the student to understand the history and business of dance music from its early disco format in the '70s and '80s to its wide variety of current styles and trends. Students write, produce, mix, and remix their work in the related style within the various dance music genres. In order to do this successfully, students are required to familiarize themselves with the current outlets for dance music (i.e. Traxsource, Beatport, In Grooves, etc.) and the current list of artists, producers, DJs, and remixers whose work can be found charted on these industry sites. A full understanding of the inner workings of this popular genre will be necessary for the students to be successful within this field. Three production projects are required.
This course is a survey of the history and techniques used in producing surround audio. The focus is split between understanding surround tools (microphones, consoles and monitoring), surround acquisition (recording techniques), and presentation (mixing and authoring) in the context of audio for disc, video, games and broadcast. The course includes practical work to reinforce theoretical and technical learning. It addresses the aesthetic considerations of surround production relating to varying end uses, and examines the elements of music that invite surround treatments based on the compositional ideas and production values.

This is a split board - You can return to the Split List for other boards.
Good bye, old friend...
Hmm, to not derail the topic but you have your numbers wrong: the 60gb hasn't even yet been out for 7 years. The 80gb not even 6.
After extensive lab research, it appears that sterility is indeed hereditary...
If it could speak:
"I have been, and always shall be, your friend."
I just couldn't part with my 80GB W/ 4 USB ports, I already had an original PS3 Slim as a present B4 it got ylod.
I got the same model refurbished. having a backup seemed like a better idea than getting rid of it at the time.
"While you are wasting your time castrating a priceless antique, I have been systematically feeding babies to hungry mutated puppies!"
Thank you all for the kind words. The visitation shall be this Saturday. I've had many calls from friends and family members who have helped me through the grieving process. You ALL are invited, there will be puffy cheetos and nachos. As those were our favorite snacks.
Why Albert...why? ~Sincerely, a Cardinals fan...No loyalty at all from what could've been the greatest Card ever, Albert Pujols.-------PSN: ANDR0iD_v3
my 60gb died after thanks giving really annoying I've transfered my memcards since PS1 finally getting it fixed tuesday didn't go for the slim since I wanted to keep backwards compatibility
taken me so long cause had to buy 48 christmas presents then I had no money for a long time then I got enough money our oven broke got enough money again the microwave broke got enough money again and our hot water heater broke then I was broke for awhile again cause hot water heaters are expensive finally got the money with nothing going wrong 2 fridays ago got the box in the mail friday but fed ex doesn't do residential pick ups saturday sunday or mondays so tuesday it is then proly 2 weeks and I'll finally get to play those 4 new games I got for christmas
I too feel your pain. May it be in a better place.
PSN: nightwing2099 (PS3 & PS Vita)
It's a damn shame that Sony encrypted the hard drive so you lose all your data if your system fries. I have a 60GB fully BC PS3 that got the YLOD on me, and unless I pay some guy to reflow it I'm gonna lose everything, too.
So sorry for your loss, TC.
Currently ignoring 5 users.
If I haven't responded to a post directly addressed to me, that's probably why.
Sorry for your loss. There have been a lot of threads about The Last of Us killing Phat PS3s. The Last of Us needs to be stopped so I am therefore boycotting the game.
All this talk about Phat PS3s dying has me worried that the PS4 I pre-ordered will die quickly too.
i dont think it was The Last of Us, it ran fine on that. just old age i think, and yea I'm really irritated that i lost all my saves. and I'm pretty sure launch PS4's will be faulty like new 1st gen consoles always are
Why Albert...why? ~Sincerely, a Cardinals fan...No loyalty at all from what could've been the greatest Card ever, Albert Pujols.-------PSN: ANDR0iD_v3
Just get it repaired.
I refuse to get rid of my sexy 40 GB PS3.
It even says Playstaion 3 on it not the gay PS3. I liked the Spiderman font, the gloss black with touch sensitive buttons.
I am never getting rid of it, I will keep getting it fixed somehow (I do plan to buy the super slim PS3 as a back up just like I got a PS2 slim to replace my launch fatty PS2 incase that dies (it hasn't yet, still going strong, plays everything except for Roger Rabbit DVD (it quits when Jessica Rabbit takes to the stage. It can't handle the hotness of Jessica Rabbit)

Show me what it is they have created on earth, or have they a share in the heavens bring me a book (revealed) before this, or any remnant of knowledge (ye may have), if ye are telling the truth! 5And who is more astray than one who invokes besides Allah, such as will not answer him to the Day of Judgment, and who (in fact) are unconscious of their call (to them)? 6And when mankind are gathered together (at the Resurrection), they will be hostile to them and reject their worship (altogether)! 7When Our Clear Signs are rehearsed to them, the Unbelievers say, of the Truth when it comes to them: "This is evident sorcery!" 8Or do they say, "He has forged it"? Say: "Had I forged it, then can ye obtain no single (blessing) for me from Allah. He knows best of that whereof ye talk (so glibly)! Enough is He for a witness between me and you! And he is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." 9Say: "I am no bringer of new-fangled doctrine among the messengers, nor do I know what will be done with me or with you. I follow but that which is revealed to me by inspiration; I am but a Warner open and clear." 10Say: "See ye? If (this teaching) be from Allah, and ye reject it, and a witness from among the Children of Israel testifies to its similarity (with earlier scripture), and has believed while ye are arrogant, (how unjust ye are!) truly, Allah guides not a people unjust." 11The Unbelievers say of those who believe: "If (this Message) were a good thing, (such men) would not have gone to it first, before us!" And seeing that they guide not themselves thereby, they will say, "this is an (old,) falsehood!" 12And before this, was the Book of Moses as a guide and a mercy: And this Book confirms (it) in the Arabic tongue; to admonish the unjust, and as Glad Tidings to those who do right. 13Verily those who say, "Our Lord is Allah," and remain firm (on that Path),- on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. 14Such shall be Companions of the Gardens, dwelling therein (for aye): a recompense for their (good) deeds. 15We have enjoined on man kindness to his parents: In pain did his mother bear him, and in pain did she give him birth. The carrying of the (child) to his weaning is (a period of) thirty months. At length, when he reaches the age of full strength and attains forty years, he says, "O my Lord! Grant me that I may be grateful for Thy favour which Thou has bestowed upon me, and upon both my parents, and that I may work righteousness such as Thou mayest approve; and be gracious to me in my issue. Truly have I turned to Thee and truly do I bow (to Thee) in Islam." 16Such are they from whom We shall accept the best of their deeds and pass by their ill deeds: (They shall be) among the Companions of the Garden: a promise! of truth, which was made to them (in this life). 17But (there is one) who says to his parents, "Fie on you! Do ye hold out the promise to me that I shall be raised up, even though generations have passed before me (without rising again)?" And they two seek Allah's aid, (and rebuke the son): "Woe to thee! Have faith! for the promise of Allah is true." But he says, "This is nothing but tales of the ancients!" 18Such are they against whom is proved the sentence among the previous generations of Jinns and men, that have passed away; for they will be (utterly) lost. 19And to all are (assigned) degrees according to the deeds which they (have done), and in order that (Allah) may recompense their deeds, and no injustice be done to them. 20And on the Day that the Unbelievers will be placed before the Fire, (It will be said to them): "Ye received your good things in the life of the world, and ye took your pleasure out of them: but today shall ye be recompensed with a Penalty of humiliation: for that ye were arrogant on earth without just cause, and that ye (ever) transgressed." 21Mention (Hud) one of 'Ad's (own) brethren: Behold, he warned his people about the winding Sand-tracts: but there have been warners before him and after him: "Worship ye none other than Allah: Truly I fear for you the Penalty of a Mighty Day." 22They said: "Hast thou come in order to turn us aside from our gods? Then bring upon us the (calamity) with which thou dost threaten us, if thou art telling the truth?" 23He said: "The Knowledge (of when it will come) is only with Allah: I proclaim to you the mission on which I have been sent: But I see that ye are a people in ignorance!".. 24Then, when they saw the (Penalty in the shape of) a cloud traversing the sky, coming to meet their valleys, they said, "This cloud will give us rain!" "Nay, it is the (Calamity) ye were asking to be hastened!- A wind wherein is a Grievous Penalty! 25"Everything will it destroy by the command of its Lord!" Then by the morning they - nothing was to be seen but (the ruins of) their houses! thus do We recompense those given to sin! 26And We had firmly established them in a (prosperity and) power which We have not given to you (ye Quraish!) and We had endowed them with (faculties of) hearing, seeing, heart and intellect: but of no profit to them were their (faculties of) hearing, sight, and heart and intellect, when they went on rejecting the Signs of Allah; and they were (completely) encircled by that which they used to mock at! 27We destroyed aforetime populations round about you; and We have shown the Signs in various ways, that they may turn (to Us). 28Why then was no help forthcoming to them from those whom they worshipped as gods, besides Allah, as a means of access (to Allah)? Nay, they left them in the lurch: but that was their falsehood and their invention. 29Behold, We turned towards thee a company of Jinns (quietly) listening to the Qur'an: when they stood in the presence thereof, they said, "Listen in silence!" When the (reading) was finished, they returned to their people, to warn (them of their sins). 30They said, "O our people! We have heard a Book revealed after Moses, confirming what came before it: it guides (men) to the Truth and to a Straight Path. 31"O our people, hearken to the one who invites (you) to Allah, and believe in him: He will forgive you your faults, and deliver you from a Penalty Grievous. 32"If any does not hearken to the one who invites (us) to Allah, he cannot frustrate (Allah's Plan) on earth, and no protectors can he have besides Allah: such men (wander) in manifest error." 33See they not that Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth, and never wearied with their creation, is able to give life to the dead? Yea, verily He has power over all things. 34And on the Day that the Unbelievers will be placed before the Fire, (they will be asked,) "Is this not the Truth?" they will say, "Yea, by our Lord!" (One will say:) "Then taste ye the Penalty, for that ye were wont to deny (Truth)!" 35Therefore patiently persevere, as did (all) messengers of inflexible purpose; and be in no haste about the (Unbelievers). On the Day that they see the (Punishment) promised them, (it will be) as if they had not tarried more than an hour in a single day. (Thine but) to proclaim the Message: but shall any be destroyed except those who transgress?

Route 70 To Close Overnights For Parkway Project
One of the busiest stretches of Route 70 in Lakewood will be off-limits to traffic tonight and tomorrow night.
One of the busiest stretches of Route 70 in Lakewood will be off-limits to traffic tonight and tomorrow night.
Each of Wall Township's seven schools will soon have a pair of unarmed guards posted at the entrances.
A Toms River street is now dedicated to the memory of fallen Navy Seal Denis Miranda.
I had a chance today to walk around Seaside Heights/Seaside Park and see the damage from the fire that swept through Seaside Park and the Heights on Thursday.
As the Governor said in the press conference earlier today, the damage is "complete."
Despite the destruction of Thursday's boardwalk fire just to the south, the Seaside Heights boardwalk is open and members of the Business Improvement District say long-awaited events this weekend will take place, and they predict the same for the full lineup of autumn activities.
Firefighters continue to fight a 10-alarm blaze that started at the Kohr's Custard stand in Seaside Park on Wednesday afternoon and engulfed the boardwalk in Seaside Park at Funtown Pier moved quickly north into Seaside Heights.
Reports are saying that the fire is now at a sixth alarm. Due to embers being carried from the wind, firefighters are attending to multiple areras throughout the boardwalk
The population continues to swell in southern Ocean County. As a result, the lynchpin for medical care is working to meet the increasing demands. Southern Ocean Medical Center (SOMC) has poured millions into their emergency department and they are now using their new upgrades.
Brick Police arrest a township man for threatening his neighbor with a Samurai sword.
The probe of a Thursday-night shooting in Lakewood is propelled into a homicide investigation as the victim loses his slender grip on life in a matter of hours.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- In the first nine months of 2013, there had already been nearly 100 investigations into Spokane Police officer conduct - a big jump from the previous two years.
The numbers do not mean, however, there were more complaints against officers.
The investigations reviewed by KREM 2 News ranged from an officer staying at a burglary call for only 17 minutes to alleged use of excessive force on a medical call.
Nothing falls through the cracks, gets swept under the carpet, or is dismissed, said Spokane Police Ombudsman Tim Burns. It's all looked at through a microscope.
Internal Affairs investigators looked at 96 cases in 2013 so far in 2013, a more than 30 percent increase from 2011. Burns said, however, the increase should not necessarily cause concern.
No, I would suggest we re on track for a similar year to last year, he said.
Some complaints can be resolved without a full-blown investigation. Burns said complaints were down significantly in 2013 but the number of investigations actually increased because more of those complaints needed a closer look this year.
We never try to minimize a complaint, said Burns, but through a critical analysis about 90 percent, the officers performed to at least the minimum expectations.
Burns emphasized, however, that when there is evidence of officer misconduct, consequences are swift and severe.
Half of investigations that do point to officer misconduct, Burns added, were initiated by an officer reporting the behavior of a fellow officer.

Business owners who may be eligible to share in a $420 million class action settlement over inflated premiums charged by the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation have until Oct. 22 to submit a claim form.
The settlement stems from a class action lawsuit filed in 2007 alleging that the BWC illegally overcharged thousands of business owners who did not qualify for the group experience rating plan for policy years 2001 to 2008. A Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court judge awarded the business owners $859 million following a bench trial in 2012, although the Eighth District Court of Appeals subsequently reduced that figure to $650 million in May 2014. The case was pending appeal to the Supreme Court of Ohio when the two sides reached the settlement agreement.
The Settlement Administrator, who is managing the distribution of funds on behalf of the parties, sent notices on Friday to all business owners who qualify as class members in the lawsuit. The notice contained a claim form that business owners must submit in order to qualify for their part of the settlement. Owners who have not received a notice but believe they may be eligible to participate in the settlement are encouraged to call the Settlement Administrator at (844) 322-8230.
The settlement defines class members as those business owners who, in one or more policy years from 2001 through 2008, (1) subscribed to the state workers' compensation fund, (2) were not group rated, and (3) reported payroll and paid premiums in an occupational, or "manual" classification for which the non-group effective base rate was inflated due to application of the group experience rating plan. However, not all manual classifications were inflated under the group experience rating plan so not all non-group rated owners will be Class Members.
Owners can find out how much their claims are worth by visiting http://www.ohiobwclawsuit.com/ and then accessing the Online Policy Information Portal. In order to access the Online Policy Information Portal, a business owner must submit his or her BWC Policy Number and the claim number listed on the claim form sent by the Settlement Administrator.
The deadline for submitting a claim form is Oct. 22. That is also the deadline for filing an objection with the court over the fairness of the settlement. A Final Approval Hearing to approve the settlement is currently scheduled for 9 a.m. on November 19 in Judge Richard McMonagle's courtroom at the Cuyahoga County Justice Center, Courtroom 16-D, 1200 Ontario Street, Cleveland, OH.

US envoy fails to lure Abbas to Mideast talks
Mitchell started his latest mission Thursday, meeting with Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders.
Despite the gloom, the envoy said Obama still hopes to see a Palestinian state alongside Israel in peace. "We will pursue (that) until we achieve that objective," Mitchell said Thursday.
Mitchell is expected to leave this weekend, and it's unclear what Obama's next move could be.
In his interview with Time, Obama seemed pessimistic.
"I think it is absolutely true that what we did this year didn't produce the kind of breakthrough that we wanted and if we had anticipated some of these political problems on both sides earlier, we might not have raised expectations as high," Obama said.

Hi all:
I have finally gathered all the paperwork and apostilles and need to start thinking about translations. The San Francisco consulate provides a list of translators (see: http://www.conssanfrancisco.esteri.it/NR/rdonlyres/4817286C-23EF-4B9C-8333-AE13E3E07619/0/TRADUTTORI.doc
Can anyone provide a recommendation/review of one of these translators? Thanks in advance. PM me if you prefer to share privately.

Eric Holder, Media-Spoiled Brat
Around the State
And darned if he didn't get away with it again.
Pierre Thomas, ABC's Justice Department correspondent, interviewed Holder and asked him why he believes they are "'sometimes treated differently,' those were your words. What did you mean by that?"
Holder took that softball and hit it over the fence. "There's a certain level of vehemence, it seems to me, that's directed at me (and) directed at the president," he answered. "You know, people talking about taking their country back. ... There's a certain racial component to this for some people."
Holder's been "treated differently," all right. He's been pampered by the press, a coddling that is ongoing, more than five years after he called America "a nation of cowards" on racial matters. Thomas at least raised this disreputable speech again, and Holder doubled down on it. "I wouldn't walk away from that speech," he said.
The man who avoided Sunday TV interviews for four years is going to accuse someone else of cowardice? But this is the kind of latitude that Holder gets. No one has found it bizarre that the nation's chief law enforcement officer refuses to take network questions, even when swirling in controversy. No one demanded he explain why he lied to Congress about his knowledge of the disastrous "Fast and Furious" gun-running operation he ran. No one has demanded he explain why he refuses to name a special counsel to investigate the IRS. No one in the media demanded he explain anything, even his historically aggressive record of prosecuting journalists.
Holder hasn't suffered any of the media hostility that these "objective" reporters uncorked on John Ashcroft or Alberto Gonzales when they held his office in the George W. Bush years. No one sympathetically asked Gonzales if his opponents' objections had a "racial component."
Look at how ABC is highlighting all the "hard news" on its Video pages for this interview, on top of the "racial animus" accusation:
-- "Eric Holder: Palin Wasn't a Good VP Candidate."
-- "Eric Holder: Redskins Name Offensive, Should Be Changed."
-- "Attorney General Says Gay Marriage Bans Are Unconstitutional."
On the Sunday show, most of ABC's focus was on terrorist attacks -- and even as Thomas cited the "underwear bomber" in 2009 or the Boston Marathon bombers of 2013, there wasn't even a hint that those attacks and others were failures for Obama and Holder. Those deadly Fort Hood, Texas, attacks, the first one and the second one? Why should ABC bother Holder with those?
Then there's the teeming flood of immigrant minors who entered this country without legal permission. Thomas asked, "can you see where critics are coming from when you see buses of people being brought inland after they came here illegally?"
But then he quickly added complaints from the American Civil Liberties Union so Holder could sound like a sensible moderate enforcing the laws. "We're certainly going to get criticized from both sides. But what we're certainly also going to do is make sure that we follow the law." That's absurd, but it was good enough for ABC.
Holder sounds like a brat, a spoiled child pampered by the media. Because of that, he can stay on offense, confident that he can get away with tarring his critics as racists as a way of making them look fringy and shutting them up.

Bullpen runs dry as Padres fall in 18th
Eckstein's homer ties it in the ninth, but Arizona finally settles it against infielder-turned-pitcher Wilson
Wilson was the logical choice because twice before he had pitched an inning in a lopsided losing cause – including earlier this season while playing for the Diamondbacks.
But this was the first time since his high school days in Pennsylvania that Wilson went to the mound with the game on the line.
"As the game was going on, I was preparing myself," said Wilson, whom the Padres claimed off waivers from Arizona on May 15.
"Pitching is fairly natural to me. I'm not saying I'm a pitcher, but I felt comfortable given the situation."
"It was awesome," Padres catcher Nick Hundley said of Wilson's effort. "We were up against the eight ball. We asked him to do something almost impossible to do. And he goes out there and works it."
Wilson entered the game against the top of the Diamondbacks lineup and immediately gave up a single to Felipe Lopez. After retiring Gerardo Parra on a sacrifice bunt, he walked Ryan Roberts to bring up cleanup hitter Stephen Drew.
Drew popped out to Hundley, drawing an ovation from the remnants of the 27,804 fans on hand. That brought up the free-swinging Reynolds, who had 13 homers against regular pitchers.
With his fastball clocking between 86 and 89 mph, Wilson jumped ahead 0-and-2. Then he missed with a curve. He missed with a change-up. And he was high and wide with a fastball to make the count full.
Reynolds fouled off the next pitch, then drilled another fastball into the first row of seats in right field.
"We all know he has power," Wilson said of Reynolds. "After getting ahead, I tried to get him to chase; it was the first time I'd ever thrown anything but a four-seam fastball.
"Looking back, I wish I had thrown him a strike before 3-and-2. I let him back in and he's just too good."
The game tied for the fifth longest in Padres history and tied for the second-longest at Petco Park.
In the 5 1/3-season history of Petco Park, 20 games have gone 12 innings or more and 11.75 percent of all games go into extra innings compared to the major league average of 8.1 percent.

"HBS Cases: LEGO". How not to make a comeback and how to.
Knudstorp recognized that innovation was part of that core, but he'd also seen the result of unconstrained creativity, so new product design began to be informed by market research, user feedback, and how well the toys matched the vision of quality creative play laid out by its founding fathers. Putting parameters on how people innovate had the paradoxical effect of making them better at it.
Reining in the creative process was part of a larger push by Knudstorp to reduce overall complexity within the organization. On the supply chain side, he did away with many of the unique brick components added during Plougmann's tenure, and eventually decided to bring brick manufacturing back in-house to ensure quality control.
"Why Legos Are So Expensive — And So Popular".
"What Happened with LEGO". In the last 20 years the real price per brick has fallen nearly in half.
The Star Wars blocks were wildly successful. So Lego kept going — it licensed Indiana Jones, Winnie the Pooh, Toy Story and Harry Potter.
Sales of these products have been huge for Lego. More important, the experience has taught the company that what kids wanted to do with the blocks was tell stories. Lego makes or licenses the stories they want to tell.

Yoshino defines covering as "toning down a disfavored identity to fit into the mainstream." Since notions of "disfavored identities" can be as fluid as ideas about what constitutes the so-called mainstream, just about anyone can cover, whether they're members of ethnic minority groups hiding specific cultural behaviors or, as Yoshino notes, white men hiding their depression or alcoholism or working-class backgrounds. On face value, covering is a tough sell: If everyone does it, how bad can it be? By his own admission, Yoshinoa gay Japanese American guy who may or may not wear khaki Dockerscovered, and continues to cover, and he turned out swell: Harvard grad, Rhodes scholar, Yale prof, published author.
Yoshino is well aware of the arguments against his thesis, and discusses covering within the broader history of more egregiousif no less insidiouscivil rights injustices. Gay history, he states, can be divided into three distinct phases, all defined by various "coercive" pressures. In the first phase, "conversion," gays were pressured to become heterosexual through such unsavory means as electroshock treatments or aversion therapy. In the "passing" stage, they were relegated to the proverbial closet; even if fewer and fewer mental health professionals were trying to cure them, they were no less tolerated in the hetero mainstream. (One of the most egregious examples of this is the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy, which will look, one hopes, as grotesque and wrongheaded to future generations as blackface does to this one.) The "covering" phasethe historical moment we now inhabit, although there are still preachers looking to convert gays and gays who are still closetedcan be seen as either a sign of progress or just the same ol' shit gone underground. Be gay if you likeor black, or Jewishjust don't stick it in our faces.
If covering seems trivial as a legal matter, it's warranted more than its fair share of high-profile court cases. Yoshino discusses several of them, most of which ended in defeat for the one asked to cover. In one case, an African American woman sued American Airlines because the company would not allow her to wear cornrows; in another, a Filipina was canned for speaking Tagalog at work. In 1991, a lesbian attorney lost her job when she married her female lover. Legal issues aside, the demand to cover is so prevalent that there are even business manuals to show you how to do it. New Dress for Success, the bible of corporate-ladder-climbing toadies, encourages "Hispanic" businessmen to avoid "pencil-line mustaches" and "greasy" hair tonics. Afros, of course, are out.
What's the legal remedy, if any? Yoshino calls for "reason-forcing conversation" in which the state or employer must show causes for conformity beyond mere cultural bias. Example: a woman who wants to wear a veil for her driver's license photo. The state could argue that they have the right to require everyone to show their faces for the photo because a driver's license is an identification card. A poor reason might be that most Americans don't like veils. The book also recommends a shift from so-called equality claims that emphasize the rights of specific minority groups to "liberty" claims that focus on the rights of alla more palatable defense to courts that view catering to the needs of a balkanizing society as a slippery slope. In the end, however, Yoshino admits that the issue is often best addressed outside of the court system. "When I hesitate before engaging in a public display of same-sex affection, I am not thinking of the state or my employer, but of the strangers around me and my own internal censor," he writes. "And while I am often tempted to sue myself, this is not my healthiest impulse."
While much of the book deals with court cases and the history of civil rights law, it is, at heart, a memoir, written by a legal scholar who might have missed his calling as a poet (Yoshino studied literature at Harvard and Oxford, only choosing a law career because he didn't relish the double outsider status of a gay versifier). His own frequent struggles to cover inform the book; in some of its most powerful sections, Yoshino doesn't come out, he seeps, struggling with what it means to be a gay man even as he becomes more and more active in gay legal issues. "Even when people were eager to know, or even when they knew, I had difficulty telling," he writes. "Months into my friendship with Maureen, I still had not come out to her. . . . Her journal of the time has entries like 'He didn't tell me again today,' as if I were a letter that kept not arriving." This probably says less about the writer's personal couragehe's got that in spades, as one discovers throughout the bookthan about the pervasiveness and strength of the societal pressures he so eloquently describes.

Most of the Guitar Kids who grow up to be Rock Dudes can tell you — with clinical detail — what type of ax their respective hero had growing up. Jeff Beck and Jimi Hendrix with their Fender Stratocasters; Randy Rhoads with his Flying V; Johnny Winter with his Gibson Firebird.
Chances are, even over the years, the all-grown-up rock dudes still continue to play a model identical or very similar to that original hero's — or at least have one in their collection.
Niantic's J.W. Wasylik goes you one better.
An accomplished player who spent his formative years idolizing the Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia, Wasylik built his own version of Garcia's iconic and gorgeous "Tiger" guitar, an instrument custom-made by a famous guitar-builder named Doug Ingram.
"The one guitar player that has been in my life the most in terms of inspiration and awe is Jerry," Wasylik says. "He played that guitar from the late '70s until the day he died. It had a great tone, and it's a beautiful guitar."
Of course, by now, Wasylik is fairly adept at such things. He's a professional luthier who builds guitars for his own company, J.W. Designs, because, early in Wasylik's musical sojourn, he decided he liked the minutiae of guitar design as much as he liked playing the instruments.
Wasylik played in a series of bands, attended music school and went through the whole struggling-band scenario.
"I'd been a musician my whole life and found it kind of hard to go out and gig and make money," Wasylik remembers. "So I also worked in a lot of restaurants, and it was really stressful."
During one job as an oyster shucker, after a 60-hour work week, Wasylik cut his hand with an oyster knife — and began to seriously re-think the big picture in the context of his relationship with guitars. As far back as music school, Wasylik had a fascination with the architecture of the instrument; he was fluent in carpentry from years of household woodworking projects with his father.
"I'd started getting really deep into how a guitar is constructed," he says. "I thought maybe it would be interesting to see if I could reproduce or build an instrument of good quality that sounded great and played great."
After the oyster knife incident, he decided to get serious about building instruments and, after researching luthier schools, enrolled at Atlanta Guitar Works. Wasylik found the process fascinating and proved a quick study.
"After the first guitar I built, I saw how it all went together," he says. "And I learned that it's not some big mystery. I got some confidence and, maybe more important, I felt a real connection. I kind of felt it was right, and I pretty much knew that this was what I wanted to do with my life."
Wasylik, now 25, is in the brightly lit basement workshop that serves as the headquarters for J.W. Designs. Throughout the area are space-age tools and molds and pieces of beautiful designer lumber — and what seems to be three guitars in various stages of completion. There's a comfortable scent of sawdust and varnish and, in a stand to one side but in plain sight, like a six-string sentry, perhaps, is an electric guitar Wasylik built in the shape of the immortal Fender Telecaster.
It's a beautiful instrument and betokens not only the builder's skill but also his clear affection for music and the possibilities of guitar.
J.W. Designs is a venture that is slowly growing through the best of all possible reasons — word-of-mouth enthusiasm from customers. As time allows, Wasylik is also expanding his social media and website skills.
"I think there's plenty of work out there," he says. "You think of Martin, Gibson and Fender guitars, and you know they make great guitars even though they're cranking them out. But every guitar is different, and absolutely there's room for luthiers who make guitars for specific people who are really into it and can feel the love you put into it."
Wasylik has the best of both worlds. While building guitars is his chosen calling, he still enjoys getting out into clubs and sitting in at jam sessions or with friends' bands.
"It's all fun and rewarding," he says. "I never get tired of any aspect of it. But the instrument has done so much for me, and each building project is special. I'm still in awe of the little things you do on each instrument, the little steps you have to take. But it's more than just following a procedure or a set of plans."
He shakes his head and grins. "My idea when I build a guitar is to imagine someone picking up the instrument and playing that first chord. I want that sound to suggest that the player isn't limited by anything - that whatever sound you hear in your head, you can play it. That's the goal."

Granger, why is it that those of us who are thinking clearly about Rand are accused of 'HATING' him, 'RAND HATERS', or in one instance 'Rand hatters'. I don't hate Rand. I don't know Rand. The more Rand talks, though, the more I know that I don't know Rand. I don't like what Rand has done. I don't like his rhetoric. I don't like his principles. Granger, Rand has voted to sanction Iran, twice. This is indiscriminate punishment to ALL civilians using the Rial. How would you like some big bully to reduce the purchasing power of your money by 80% over the course of a few months? And for what? Because the people who claim to be the leaders of the geographical region they happen to live in are thought to be working towards building a weapon, that the very people condemning them possess thousands of? Of course, there is no proof of this. Before destroying Iraq, it was said that the proof was 'undeniable'. But in spite of the most sophisticated surveillance apparatus known to man, there is no proof of this. And Rand votes to indiscriminately starve the entire population???????????? Granger, I know you are more humane than this. This is just one thing Rand has done. I am not going to go into the rest. I have worn myself out pointing out that Rand is not the same as Ron. I am tired of doing it.
But one thing for sure. Rand has hindered the progress of the movement his father built more than any other person.
Granger, does Rand care about you? Does Rand do weekly updates for ALL interested in liberty? Does Rand address the people interested in liberty ever? Does Rand sound like he is on the side of the people? Is Rand's voting record one of a populist's? Does Rand ever mention 'liberty' anymore?
Granger, liberty is not all about who is in the White House. The very notion of voting is antithetical to the philosophy of liberty. Why does there need to be a great consensus to achieve liberty?
I am thrilled you are trying your best to participate in politics to spread liberty. I hope Rand changes his tune. I just feel like Rand is the great co-opter of the liberty movement that the PTB have all been waiting for. He has changed many to the neo-con philosophy just like the poster has pointed out.
But, like always, I still love ya.
I know you love this one:

Your baby's first tooth usually breaks through the gum
(erupts) at about 6 months. Many times you might not know that your baby has a new tooth coming in until you see it or hear it click against an object, such as a spoon. Some babies may show signs of discomfort from sore and sensitive gums, be cranky, drool, and have other mild symptoms. These symptoms usually begin about 3 to 5 days before a tooth erupts and go away as soon as the tooth breaks through the gum. For more information, see the topic Teething.
By the time your child is 6

Bjork: Volta
M/M have done well to "out weird" the previous Bjork covers with this design for Volta. The sculpture by Bernhard Willhelm, a famous fashion designer, is a mix between a Russian Doll and a melted bag of Chuppa Chups.
Here's a behind the scenes photo of the sculpture without Bjork inside.
It looks like the sculpture had to be held up with a chain. So we won't be seeing this on the catwalk or live gig anytime soon.
The album is also available in a limited edition with special packaging check the promotional site created for the album for more info on this version.
The crazy crochet costumes created by The Icelandic Love Corporation. It's something your grandma would knit on LSD.
I also found this paper craft version while researching this design. Get the templates here.

Bjork also put together a podcast on the making of the album. The first episode is below.

Best Bjork cover since Post. They were all getting a bit samey, so it's nice to see Bjork do something so juicy. Shame the album sounds like Bjork doing Bjork.
I had no idea they actually built this bizarro costume, I thought it was a Photoshop job. Pretty awesome to see someone taking cover art so seriously.
Too bad for the outline. It looks photoshopped and passé because of it.
The white outline is because it's a sticker.
Hey Jams,
haha that makes sense now why it has the white border. My Bad
hi,im from colombia, i would like to have this album,their songs are exelents, congratulation my horoe BJORK Y LOVE U..if someone wnat to send me a massage.please to mi e-mail..kissis
Hi Catalina! Did you get the album? It's not saling in Colombia? Look at throught internet to buy it maybe.
I think they should have made a naturalistic picture of the sculpture standing somewhere in the forest.
I have this album. and i thought it was..not so good. but im not sure if thats because i found out Bjork is pro whaleing and was criticising Australian Greenpeace etc etc etc so i kind of really dislike her now.
but anyway, its a nice idea. i love covers that fold out and are paper and are different from the norm.
and it is interesting to know that it was actually a photographed costume. because without knowing this it could easily be mistaken for just an intricate vector.
personaly i think its quite ugly.
but i do like the typeography on the back.

No Cal Buyouts
Friday - 8/10/2012, 2:00am EDT
Cash-strapped federal agencies that still face the possibility of sequestration are watching the Social Security Administration for clues on how to downsize on the cheap. Thanks to Congress, SSA, once considered untouchable by politicians, must eliminate 9,000 slots before the new fiscal year begins Oct. 1.
SSA has already had to close and consolidate some offices and to curtail hours in others. Now it is trying to thin the ranks using a half-a-loaf approach. Early-retirement but without an accompanying buyout. The No Cal Buyout! If it works, your agency may adopt it too.
For the past two years, dozens of federal agencies have offered employees the chance to take early retirement AND get a buyout. Buyouts have proved popular, even though they haven't been adjusted for inflation in 20 years. The maximum payment is $25,000 before deductions.
Buyouts for Postal Service employees have been limited to $20,000 and $15,000 in two annual payments. Still they've had takers.
Insiders say SSA's decision not to offer buyouts was a tough call. Administrator Michael J. Astrue is especially close to employees, according to a long-time career manager. In 2010, he surprised (and angered) some agency heads and some White House aides by giving SSA workers the Friday after Thanksgiving off as an unofficial (but paid) holiday. He said it was a thank-you for the job workers had done under trying economic conditions.
Astrue told SSA workers that this year they "faced unprecedented workloads and unprecedented hostility from an increasingly stressed public. While many government agencies understandably have moved backward in this climate, you have moved forward."
The fact that SSA is offering early outs without a cash sweetener is a sign times are tough. So will other agencies follow suit? Here are some thoughts from readers:
- "Read Thursday's column about early-outs. It piqued a few thoughts out of
me. I don't see a buyout coming for me (IRS) and the two-year wage freeze has
really hurt the pension that I would have received and I would need more than the
$25,000 they would offer to retire. So if offered, as much as I would want to
leave, would not take it. To leave now would leave me considerably short of the
70 to 80% of my current income recommended for retirement even receiving
$25,000.00. I am sure there are many SS employees thinking the same way. Offer me
a year's salary and I'm outta here! We all know that's not going to happen. So
'I'll be back' as the terminator says.
What have you heard about furloughs? I heard that at least here there was some talk about 2 week furloughs or payless days throughout the year. I thought it was more of a tactic by upper management saying 'Quit complaining at least you have a job.' What have you heard?" — Tony IRS
( Thoughts from Mike: If sequestration takes place in January, some agencies had said they might have to furlough employees. One member of Congress last year proposed a staggering 10 to 12-day furlough of one day per month. But the proposal never went anywhere. Furloughs are always possible, but it is also possible sequestration won't happen or, if it does, that huge chunks of the government would be exempted. Right now politicians of both parties are playing political chicken with the budget and sequestration.)
- "I work at SSA, and have been off for medical reasons. I go
back to work shortly. I'm eligible to retire now. If they offer a $25,000 buyout,
I'm gone." — M.
- "Among colleagues I have observed, morale is so bad here
(Census Bureau) that there would be a mad dash for the doors if they offered early
retirement, and a full-blown stampede (tsunami, you might call it) if they offered
early retirement AND A BUYOUT. Our problem isn't anger at a single supervisor or
the management team. People are furious with Congress for jerking us around. ( We
realize the pay freeze was proposed by the Obama administration. Since then,
however, Congress has been after all our earned and promised benefits.)
As I reflect on this, it dawned on me that the fed-haters in the Congress would love to see us go. If government services slipped that would "prove" their point that government is no good. Perhaps the plan is to beat us up to the point where we all quit, or retire, and they can then make a case for privatizing things (like they did for a while at the IRS). On second thought, I'm staying. If they freeze pay for another 5 years I'll stay another 6 years. Meantime, I'm hoping for a turnover in Congress this November." — Incensed at Census
