I called today and they rep said you must use special links or the coupon code box will not display. I explained that even when I use special links (in this thread as well as via urlhasbeenblocked) I still do not see the code.
They allowed me to process the order via phone using the Amor50 code this morning (15 Apr)
Guys Zagg has officially discontinued all promo codes except for those in their Daily Deals section on zagg.com. I just called to speak to customer service after running into the missing discount code box and I was told they are no longer accepting promo codes even if you call into customer service and provide the code you are attempting to use. I saw a post that someone was able to get them to apply the discount via calling customer support so I attempted the same. No dice. I even asked to speak with a manager and he told me the same. So... Boooooooooo.

Likud (ליכוד, lit. Consolidation) is the major centre-right political party in Israel. Founded in 1973 as an alliance of several right-wing and liberal parties, Likud's victory in the 1977 elections was a major turning point in the country's political history, marking the first time the left had lost power. However, after ruling the country for most of the 1980s, the party has won only one Knesset election since 1992, though its candidate, Binyamin Netanyahu, did win the popular vote for Prime Minister in 1996. After a big win in the 2003 elections, a major split in 2005 saw Likud leader Ariel Sharon leave to form the new Kadima party, with Likud slumping to fourth place in elections the following year. The party now leads the opposition in the Knesset.
Likud has in the past espoused hawkish policies towards the Palestinians, including opposition to Palestinian statehood and support of the Jewish settlers in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. However, it has also been the party which carried out the first peace agreements with Arab states. For instance, in 1979, Likud Prime Minister, Menachem Begin, signed the Camp David Accords with Egyptian President Anwar al-Sadat, which returned the Sinai Peninsula (occupied by Israel in the Six-Day War of 1967) to Egypt in return for peace between the two countries. Yitzhak Shamir also granted some legitimacy to the Palestinians by meeting them at the ill-fated Madrid Conference following the Persian Gulf War in 1991. However, Shamir refused to concede the idea of a Palestinian state, and as a result was blamed by some (including U.S. Secretary of State James Baker) for the failure of the summit. Later, as Prime Minister, Binyamin Netanyahu restated Likud's position of opposing Palestinian statehood, which after the Oslo Accords was largely accepted by the opposition Labor Party, even though the shape of any such state was not clear.
Following conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians in 2002, Israel's Likud-led government reoccupied Arab towns and refugee camps in West Bank, a position that remains unchanged today. In 2005 Ariel Sharon defied the recent tendencies of Likud and abandoned the "Greater Israel" policy of seeking to settle the West Bank and Gaza. Though re-elected Prime Minister on a platform of no unilateral withdrawals, Sharon carried out the Israeli unilateral disengagement plan, withdrawing from the Gaza Strip and demolishing the Israeli settlements there, as well as four settlements in the northern West Bank. Whilst an overwhelming majority of the Likud's membership opposed this policy, Sharon achieved the approval of this policy through the necessary government channels by firing all cabinet members who opposed the plan before the vote in order to assure a needed majority, and by submitting his plan to what Sharon called a "binding" vote in his party which he lost and yet later disregarded.
Ariel Sharon and the faction who supported his "Disengagement" proposals left the Likud party after the Disengagement and joined the new Kadima party which was itself founded by former Likud Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. This new party supports unilateral disengagement from most of the West Bank and the fixing of borders by the separation barrier. The basic premise of the policy is the view that the Israelis have no viable negotiating partner on the Palestinian side, and since they cannot remain in indefinite occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, Israel should unilaterally withdraw. If pursued, this further Disengagement will, according to many, ultimately mean allowing the creation a Palestinian state although smaller than most Palestinians are likely to accept. It is not known why Mr. Sharon did not create this new party before he carried out the disengagement plan instead of after it.
Binyamin Netanyahu, the new rightist leader of Likud, and Silvan Shalom, the party's #2 ranking member, both supported (against the Likud charter) the disengagement plan, however Netanyahu resigned his ministerial post before the plan was executed. Most current Likud members support the Israeli settlements in the West Bank and oppose Arab statehood and the disengagement from Gaza.
The Likud promotes a revival of Jewish-oriented culture, in keeping with the principles of revisionist zionism.
The Likud emphasize such nationalist themes as the flag and the victory in Israel's 1948 war with neighbouring Arab states. The Likud advocates teaching values in childhood education. The Likud endorses press freedom and promotion of private-sector media, which has grown markedly under governments Likud has led. A Likud government headed by Ariel Sharon, however, closed the popular right-wing pirate radio station Arutz 7 ("Channel 7). Arutz 7 was popular with the settlement movement and often criticised the government from a right-wing perspective. However, the Likud is inclined towards the Torah and expresses support for it within the context of civil Judaism, as a result of its Irgun past, which aligned itself according to the word of the Tanakh.
The first Likud prime minister was Menachem Begin, who had led the party to victory in the 1977 elections, the first time the left-wing had lost power in Israel's political history. A former leader of the hard-line paramilitary Irgun, Begin helped initiate the peace process with Egypt, which resulted in the Camp David Accords and the 1979 Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty.
The third Likud premier was Binyamin Netanyahu, elected in May 1996, following the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin. Netanyahu proved far less ideological than Begin and could not stand up to United States' pressure as firmly as Shamir had. Though critical of the Oslo accords and more hawkish than Rabin and Peres' Labour governments, like his rivals in the Labor party, Netanyahu negotiated with Yasser Arafat.
The fourth Likud premier was Ariel Sharon, elected March 2001, who resigned from both the Likud and as Prime Minister on 21 November 2005. Sharon served as defense minister during Operation Peace for the Galilee (1982), and was found by the Kahan Commission to be indirectly responsible for the Sabra and Shatila Massacre (16 September-18 September, 1982). Sharon was forced to resign as defense minister after the Kahan Commission issued its report, but he was allowed to remain in Begin's cabinet.
In 1998, after Binyamin Netanyahu ceded territory to the Palestinians in the Wye accords, several MKs split off from the Likud in an act of protest. Led by Benny Begin (Menachem Begin's son), Michael Kleiner and David Re'em, a new party named Herut – The National Movement was formed, gaining support from former Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir (who had expressed harsh disappointment in Netanyahu's leadership).
In 2001, following Palestinian attacks during the al-Aqsa Intifada, Ehud Barak lost the elections to Likud leader Ariel Sharon. At the 2003 elections the Likud doubled its power, rising to 40 mandates (out of 120) and securing power jobs in the government, ministries, public institutes and state bureaucracy.
Sharon's entire tenure was marked by the Al-Aqsa Intifada and he ventured further away from the Likud's traditional values and association with the settler movement. In the summer of 2005, Sharon uprooted thousands of Jewish settlers from their homes in the Gaza Strip and northern West Bank in order to withdraw from the territory.
The next month, Labor announced its withdrawal from Sharon's governing coalition following its election of the left wing Amir Peretz as leader. On 21 November 2005, Sharon announced he would be leaving Likud and forming a new centrist party, Kadima, and that elections would take place in early 2006. As of 21 November seven candidates had declared themselves as contenders to replace Sharon as leader: Netanyahu, Uzi Landau, Shaul Mofaz, Yisrael Katz, Silvan Shalom and Moshe Feiglin. Landau and Mofaz later withdrew, the former in favour of Netanyahu and the latter to join Kadima.
The founding of Kadima was a major challenge to the Likud's generation-long status as one of Israel's two major parties. Sharon's perceived centrist policies have drawn considerable popular support as reflected by public opinion polls. The Likud is now led by figures who oppose further unilateral evacuations, and its standing in the polls has suffered. After the founding of Kadima, Likud came to be seen as having more of a right-wing tendency than a moderate centre-right one. However there exist several parties in the knesset which are more right wing than the post-Ariel Sharon Likud.
Prior to the 2006 elections the party's Central Committee relinquished control of selecting the Knesset list to the 'rank and file' members at Netanyahu's behest. The aim was to improve the party's reputation, as the central committee had gained a reputation for corruption.
In the elections, the Likud vote collapsed in the face of the Kadima split. Other right-wing nationalist parties such as Yisrael Beiteinu gained votes, with Likud coming only fourth place in the popular vote, edging out Yisrael Beiteinu by only 116 votes. With only twelve seats, Likud is currently tied with the Shas for the status of third-largest party.
Likud is currently Israel's main opposition party with Binyamin Netanyahu Israel's Opposition Leader.

My first time staying in a Candlewood and it made me feel like I was at home...or at least not in a regular hotel room...
Great Price Considering the Kitchen
May 21, 2015
The Price was great considering it had a kitchen, the room was spacious and big enough for two-four people
I would recommended it for a nice small getaway, nothing luxurious so don't expect a fancy kitchen either, but it is nice and spacious enough.
A nice hotel for the price
May 21, 2015
This was my first time in a Candlewood Suites. I try to use IHG as my primary brand. This hotel was not bad by any means and my stay was quite short so I really wasn't able to get a great feel. The only thing I would say could improve was the overall feeling of the Hotel. To me personally if felt a bit cold and uninviting. I think honestly it has to do with how the front desk area is set up. Other than this my stay was just fine.

only bursts of looks, say 30 or some in one burst. Dirty looks might be restricted too. All military weapons should really be banned I reckon.
Fair question. Assault weapons are politically demonized because they look menacing. In reality, they are no more or less dangerous than any other semi-automatic weapon. According to Diane Feinstein, who authored the original assault weapons ban, there have been 385 murders since 2004 involving an assault weapon. That's slightly more than 48 people per year since the weapon's ban expired. FBI statistics indicate there were 8583 gun homocides in 2011 alone. Assuming 50 of those 8583 gun homocides were the result of assault weapons, they would be responsible for 0.6% of the total homocides. On the other hand, 6,220 gun homocides were committed with a handgun, and represent more than 72% of all gun homocides. Handguns are clearly a much greater issue. So why is congress spending tons of our tax dollars villifying "assault weapons" when we (and they - congress that is) already know taking them off the streets completely will have no appreciable affect on reducing gun related homocides?

The answer is simple...they look scary.
I wouldn't doubt it.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke goes before the microphones on Friday to announce what, if anything, the Fed will do next to buck up the stumbling and disheveled U.S. economy. Critics question whether the Fed has anything left in its toolbox it hasn't already tried. The box, they insinuate, is empty--or virtually so.
Is that true? Does the Fed really have no new means at its disposal?
The world's stock markets seem to believe otherwise. They rose this week, in part on anticipation that the Fed will take new steps to keep the U.S. from sinking further into recession.
Truth is, there's plenty the Fed still could do. A number of unused tools remain, but none is without controversy. Some, politically, are too hot to touch. And still others are so potent that their use cannot be imagined, short of some doomsday scenario.
It was just one year ago that Bernanke announced a second round of so-called "quantitative easing," dubbed QE2. As with its predecessor, QE1, announced in March 2009, the idea was for the Fed to buy private debt on a massive scale, thus keeping interest rates low and invigorating the U.S. economy with a booster of inexpensive cash. The stock markets of the world have benefitted, and traders this week were cheered at the prospect that Bernanke, on Friday, will announce QE3 or something like it.
It's far from sure, however, that Bernanke will choose that tool.
The effectiveness of first two QEs has been questioned. Critics acknowledge that easing has brought temporary benefits, but they argue those have accrued primarily to the stock market. They question whether flooding the markets with yet more cheap money is a good thing for the economy long-term.
Lance Roberts, chief strategist for Streettalk Advisors, calls quantitative easing just so much "heroine." The first two shots of it, he says, indeed invigorated markets. But the effect was short-lived. Another round of it might help the U.S. "temporarily avoid a double dip," but it would not solve "our long-term fiscal problems."
It's not only Fed outsiders such as Roberts who reject QE3. Some Fed insiders oppose it. In a rare instance of internal dissent, three regional Fed presidents (Dallas, Philadelphia and Minneapolis) earlier this month voted against Bernanke's decision to keep interest rates low through 2013. President Richard Fisher of Dallas said in a speech that the U.S. economy already is "awash with liquidity."
Access to cheap cash, he said, is not the problem. Rather, political gridlock in Washington has produced uncertainty among business leaders and unease among consumers, both of whom, as a result, have decided "to forego or delay some discretionary expenditure[s]."
So, if not QE3, then, what?
"That's the $64 million question!" says Roberts. We could see, he speculates, "massive loan-forgiveness. But there would have to be federal support to keep the banks solvent." And such a move, he notes, would only encourage the non-forgiven to walk away from their debts. "Bernanke has very little other choice at this point. All the Fed has available to it is the power to continue to suppress interest rates."
Ah, but which rates?

No one climbs Mount Kilimanjaro alone, and no one knows that better than the founders of WHOA Travel. Women High on Adventure creators Allison Fleece and Danielle Thornton are travel-loving friends who met while climbing Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak, in February 2013. Tackling one of the world's toughest summits together was so life-altering, they knew they wanted to share the experience with others. So upon returning to New York, they quit their jobs and started an adventure travel company with a mission to motivate women to step out of their comfort zones … and onto the tallest freestanding mountain in the world.
In the spirit of empowering women, WHOA Travel led a group of 28 women from 9 countries to the roof of Africa on International Women's Day earlier this year. Not only did all 28 women make it to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, but they even danced their way to the summit. Led by the mountain's first local female guide, the group raised more than $10,000 to support women's educational programs in Kenya and Tanzania. Now, Allison and Danielle are gearing up to lead another group of women to the summit on International Women's Day in 2015.
We caught up with daring adventuresses between climbing mountains to find out what other WHOA-inspiring trips they're leading, how their high-altitude dance-party tradition began, and the surprising item they never head back to Mount Kilimanjaro without (hint: it's not a power bar).

It was a close fight, but I agree with the decision. Wiman clearly won the 2nd round, that is apparent to everyone. But he didn't do anything to win the 1st and 3rd rounds. He spent most of the fist round trying to get a takedown that finally came in the last minute, and Siver got the better part of the striking game in the 1st and 3rd. Getting a takedown in the last minute of a round should not negate all the action that happened prior to, and prior to that takedown, Siver was winning the 1st round handily.

wiman lost me in that fight. i was neutral, but the second he took siver down in the 2nd and drove his forehead into sivers cheek, i told my brother watch, he's gunna stay in his guard and cut him with elbows and hope to win by cuts.sure enough, he wings his first elbow and slices a cut open. some guys, like prime tito, current bones jones, they drive their elbow/forearm right into your face and hope to kill u. but some guys pull the tactics wiman was pulling, they will slice the tip of their elbow over your face and hope to cut u up. it fuckin hurts of course, but it wont knock anybody out, and it doesnt tell u who the better fighter is.its bullshit to try and win that way. need more anthony njokuani's, carlos condits and urijah fabers, and alot less matt wimans IMO.
7/3/11 12:00 AM by Harlem
Wiman was using shady tactics like grinding his chin and head into the cuts of siver. I was disappointed.
7/2/11 11:44 PM by fearless french
Wow, maybe if it was a Kickboxing fight I could see siver winning. That's the only way. Wiman beat the shit out of him and cut his face multiple times. Didn't seem to b any lnp in that fight.
7/2/11 10:30 PM by plastekt
Wiman was penalized for fighting the standard accepted way to fight. Fundamentally I'm okay with it but he shouldn't have been chosen as a scapegoat.

BOISE The owner of a five-year-old mix breed dog who was shot by police is busy taking care of the six infant puppies the dog left behind.
Since airing this story, Facebook posts have been viewed over 50,000 times by viewers and over a thousand people have weighed in on social media.
Sunday afternoon around 2 p.m. two Boise Police officer were responding to the theft of a report in the area of Woodlawn and 28th street.
At one point during their time in the neighborhood on the unrelated call, the officers say they felt threatened by a dog named Kita. One of the officers pulled his gun and fired killing her.
According to police, Kita moved in an aggressive manner toward the officers, some witnesses telling police she snarled at them.
However, the owner of the dog tells a different story; Gabrielle Stropkai believes Kita is nothing short of a lover and said she would never be aggressive toward anyone.
One day after the dog was shot; Stropkai s life has changed dramatically. She is a single mother working a full-time job, and now she is also caring for Kita s six two-week old puppies.
Luckily we have people around who have dealt with taking care of puppies, said Stropkai. They had the mom there with them, though, so of course one of the neighbors let us borrow a clock that ticks for the heartbeat.
The learning curve is big for getting the puppies fed without their mother.
Stropkai said she is still upset about the shooting but finds her mind is now busy with making sure the puppies are fed every two to three hours a day.
I had no choice whatsoever, and she was she was taken from me. And now, I have to fill her shoes which I am coming to find she had very big shoes, and I don t know if I am filling them very well, Stropkai said.
Monday the Boise Police Department told reporters the agency was not releasing any more information on the situation and have pushed media inquiries back to this statement that was provided Sunday evening:
Officers never want to harm an animal. The dog came upon the officers quickly and they felt it was about to bite them. This is a very dog friendly community. Many officers have dogs. We work with dogs. Dogs running loose are a safety risk, for people and for the dogs. This was a very unfortunate situation for everyone involved, said Deputy Chief Pete Ritter.
Stropkai told KTVB she has not heard from the Boise Police Department since the shooting happened, and she was told an investigation would not be underway.
However Boise Police spokesperson Chuck McClure told KTVB Monday that usually a policy review takes place after an incident like this. McClure also said at this point, it does not appear that officers violated policy.
Stropkai acknowledged the added work and cost associated with feeding the puppies and although she is upset over the loss of Kita, also admits caring for them is a pleasure.
If anyone is interested in helping, they can email Gabrielle Stropkai at email@example.com.

Audio Recording Degree and Career Education Programs
Read information about undergraduate and graduate degree studies in audio recording. Get details about prerequisites and course topics for each program. Look at employment outlook and salary statistics for professionals in this field.
Essential Information
Audio recording degrees are available at the bachelor's and master's levels, and they're typically available as recording arts or sound engineering technology programs. Schools often prefer applicants who have a strong musical background; a portfolio of music-related projects may be required for admission to master's programs.
An audio recording education typically incorporates both classroom and hands-on technical training in studio settings. Courses emphasize music theory and production processes along with digital recording technologies. Many programs culminate in a final recording project. While growth is anticipated in the employment of sound engineering technicians, competition for jobs is expected to be keen.
Bachelor's Degree in Recording Arts
Bachelor's degrees in audio recording are usually called recording arts or recording arts engineering degrees, and very often they are paired with music production. In most programs, students begin training on analog (not digital) recording labs, which provide a fundamental understanding of audio signal flow, the basis of nearly all mixing and recording technologies. Students typically progress to combination analog-digital studios and finally to fully digital studios. In fully digital studios, students learn about 5.1 surround sound and the latest recording technologies. Programs typically feature a mix of musical training and technical training, both of which are essential to success in the field.
Educational Prerequisites
In addition to high school transcripts, letters of recommendation and standardized test scores, many programs look for applicants who have a passion for music and involvement in the industry. This is best expressed in a personal statement. The strongest applicants will also have a musical or computer science background.
Program Coursework
In addition to training on industry-standard equipment and techniques, students also receive musical training, such as keyboard, aural and theoretical training. Here are some classes that might appear in the curriculum in bachelor's degree programs in recording arts:
- Digital consoles
- Audio post-production
- Music theory
- Critical listening
- Audio file management
Employment Outlook and Salary Information
One of the most popular careers for graduates of bachelor's degree programs in recording arts is sound engineering. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) predicted that the employment rate for broadcast and sound engineering technicians would grow 10% between 2010 and 2020, roughly as fast as average. The median annual salary for sound engineering technicians was $46,310 as of May 2012.
Master's Degree in Recording Arts
Master's Degrees in Recording arts are commonly, but not always, offered as Master of Fine Arts (MFA) degrees, offering advanced training in production, recording and integrated electronic media. Degrees in this field also require students to develop strong understandings of related disciplines, including digital animation, computer science, video production and music. As such, these areas are often offered as minors. Students can also expect an emphasis on technologies because they change rapidly in the industry and are essential to the success of its professionals. Because an MFA is a terminal degree and qualifies graduates to teach at a post-secondary level, many programs also offer pedagogical training or teaching opportunities.
Educational Prerequisites
Students must have at least a bachelor's degree to be considered for admission to master's degrees in recording arts. A portfolio of work may also be required and is often given the most weight among application materials; other requirements may include college transcripts, standardized test scores and letters of recommendation.
Program Coursework
Students can expect to log of lot of hours in studios recording actual music sessions, especially in graduate programs. However, a strong understanding of theory is required, so classes such as the following will likely appear in the curriculum:
- Musical synthesis
- Multitrack recording
- Visual aesthetics and technology
- Recordings in a cultural context
- Legal rights of creative individuals
Employment Outlook and Salary Information
Other common occupation for graduates of this degree is in music directing and composing. While the employment rate for this profession is expected to grow 10% between 2010 and 2020, there will be significant competition for jobs, according to the BLS (www.bls.gov). The median annual salary for music directors and composers was $47,350 as of May 2012.

'White House Down' director unfazed by 'Olympus'
In this Tuesday, June 18, 2013 photo, Roland Emmerich. director of the film "White House Down," poses for a portrait in Beverly Hills, Calif. The action-packed film starring Jamie Foxx as the President of the United States of America and Channing Tatum as his impromptu bodyguard releases Friday, June 28, 2013. (Photo by Chris Pizzello/Invision/AP)
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Roland Emmerich knows all about disasters.
The 57-year-old filmmaker laid waste to several landmarks in "Independence Day," turned New York into an ice cube in "The Day After Tomorrow" and leveled most of the world in "2012." However, when it comes to his latest film, "White House Down," the biggest catastrophe might not be that terrorists have commandeered America's most famous home.
It's perhaps that the action-packed film starring Jamie Foxx as the President of the United States and Channing Tatum as his impromptu bodyguard is being released Friday — just three months after "Olympus Has Fallen," which featured a strikingly similar under-siege White House plot with Aaron Eckhart and Gerard Butler in the parallel roles.
This film publicity image released by Columbia Pictures shows Channing Tatum in a scene from "White House Down." (AP Photo/Sony Columbia Pictures, Reiner Bajo)
Yet Emmerich doesn't think the coincidence is the end of the world.
"You do your film," said Emmerich. "They do their film. I remember when there were two volcano and two meteor movies. I thought, 'Isn't Hollywood stupid to do that?' All of a sudden, I was in the same situation, and I said, 'I'm not stopping.' I like my script. I have the two coolest dudes I always wanted to work with together in one film. I'm not stopping.'"
"White House Down" focuses on Sgt. John Cale, a Capitol police officer played by Tatum who is touring the White House with his daughter right after tanking an interview for a Secret Service job. When rogue former soldiers and government employees begin wreaking havoc on Pennsylvania Avenue, Cale must step up to rescue his daughter and the president.

"Used them for my baby shower and they came out very cute and sturdy. I also purchased the "natural" colored envelopes with them. Very pleased with the purchase and how they came out."
"Adorable invitation. I made the overall text black to stand out more. I BOLDED the Mommy to Bee's name to stand out. I added more text to the invitation that didn't seem to fit. After doing so, I called Cust. Service and they shifted the text upward to make all fit nicely then placed my order verbally over the phone. I even increased the font on the overall text a bit larger - this came out so nice! Customer service was wonderful! I used the Designer review and worked with Paul who helped create this adorable invitation and matching Thank you notes. I even received a hand written thank you note from Paul thanking me for the business. I would use TinyPrints again!"
"Because the text is completely customizable, I used this card for my daughter's 2nd birthday party invitation. I am not a huge fan of character parties, but she loves Winnie the Pooh so she is having a Classic Pooh inspired party. All of the Winnie the Pooh invitations I found were too cutesy for my taste. This card was perfect. I used the Tiny Prints designer review service, and the designer was quite helpful. Everything was completed very quickly, and I love how it turned out."
"Bought these for my nieces baby shower. Quality product! Has the professional look I was going for, but very reasonably priced. Arrived a few days before scheduled delivery which was an added plus!"
"I ordered these invitations for a baby shower I am hosting for my Niece. Since we do not yet know if she will be having a boy or a girl, I was worried the selection would be limited. Not only did I find a nice assortment of "gender neutral" designs, I absolutely adored the card that was ultimately selected. I ordered the invitation in Pearlized paper with the scalloped edges and it is fantastic. I highly recommend this design/paper selection."

Our thoughts and prayers are with those on the east coast who are attempting to return to some sense of normalcy in the wake of the devastation left behind by Hurricane Sandy.
Natural disasters like Sandy raise a host of issues for employers: how do you pay your employees during during suspended operations? Whether and to what extent should health benefits and other benefits be offered?
The aftermath of the hurricane also raises questions about an employer's obligation to provide a leave of absence to employees under laws such as the Family and Medical Leave Act. Awhile back, I covered this question, so I refer you that post for a more detailed analysis of an employee's right to take FMLA during a natural disaster and whether the disaster itself could cause a serious health condition requiring FMLA leave.
However, it's worth pointing out again a few general points to consider as we're confronted with natural disasters like Hurricane Sandy:
Where an employee is requesting leave as a result of the natural disaster, employers should obtain as much information as possible from the employee to determine whether the absence qualifies as protected leave. Where there is doubt, employers should provide the requisite FMLA paperwork and allow the employee to provide the necessary information to support FMLA leave. (A previous FMLA podcast of ours covers how an employer should respond to a request for FMLA leave. It might be helpful here.)
Also, employers should ensure that medical certification is sufficient to cover the absence at issue. Where more information is required, employers must follow up with an employee to obtain the information necessary to designate the absence as FMLA leave. Moreover, when an employer has reason to doubt the reasons for FMLA leave, they have the right to seek a second opinion to ensure FMLA leave is appropriate.

NeNe Leakes is a control freak! Real Housewives producers are hypocrites! And the green room is ALWAYS stocked with booze for a Bravo reunion taping!
These are just a few of the shocking claims Alex McCord is leveling against the reality show franchise in her new The Real Deal video from TheStir.com.
McCord, a former Real Housewives of New York City star, makes her outrageous claims in this video obtained by RadarOnline.com, and no one on the franchise is safe!
PHOTOS: Punches! Hair Pulling & Drunken Battles! The 13 Nastiest Fights EVER On Real Housewives
Dishing on Apollo Nida's appearance during the Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion, McCord contradicted what Leakes previously said about no booze allowed on set.
"There are plenty of free drinks available in the green room, even on reunion day, and it's possible that he joined that couch with some liquid courage," she surmised.
Discussing the vengeance with which Nida attacked Kenya Moore, McCord slammed the creative minds behind the shows.
PHOTOS: Real Housewives, Real Scandals: 28 Of The Biggest Scandals To Hit The Bravo Franchise
"One thing that's annoying about producers on docudrama reality TV is that once they get their teeth into a story line they will beat that horse until it's dead, then bring it back to life and do it all over again."
McCord points out that Peter Thomas, Cynthia Bailey's husband, "Deserves an award for best use of a prop ever. Did you see it? Peter pulled out a peach and ate it," and slams the show execs again.
"It also goes to show you that the producers are hypocrites! After the Porsha [Williams] and Kenya fight Andy [Cohen] said no more props yet on the very same show and very same day Peter is using a prop!"
Scorned Exes Tell All: Inside Hollywood's Ugliest Splits
McCord also takes Leakes to task, saying she is a megalomaniac.
"Yes NeNe is trying to control the show and Andy and all the cast members are letting her do it. They will throw anyone under the bus except NeNe."
Check out McCord's cutting edge video to find out which Housewives stars share a date they probably would rather ignore and find out who she thinks is on the chopping block across the country.

In addition to addressing local-government prayer this morning, the Supreme Court also decided to hear and answer another question impacting local governments: when a city denies a request to place a cell tower, how formally must it act?
The Court granted cert in T-Mobile South, LLC v. City of Roswell, No. 13-975, which specifically asks what a local government must do to satisfy the Communications Act's "in writing" requirement at 47 U.S.C. 332(c)(7)(B)(iii):
Any decision by a State or local government or instrumentality thereof to deny a request to place, construct, or modify personal wireless service facilities shall be in writing and supported by substantial evidence contained in a written record
As the Eleventh Circuit explained in its decision, some circuit courts have ruled that a written denial must be "separate from the written record" and "must contain a sufficient explanation of the reasons for the permit denial to allow a reviewing court to evaluate the evidence in the record supporting those reasons." Sw. Bell Mobile Sys., Inc. v. Todd, 244 F.3d 51, 60 (1st Cir.2001).
The Eleventh Circuit ruled that the Communications Act does not require all this. Because the City here provided:
the court ruled that the City had satisfied the "in writing" requirement. It cited its earlier Milton decision, which emphasized the limits of a judge's role:
In interpreting what the words "in writing" mean in § 332(c)(7)(B)(iii), we are reluctant to import into those words, as some of our sister circuits have, "more pragmatic policy values," MetroPCS, 400 F.3d at 722, than the words themselves bring along, or to take a more "pragmatic, policy-based approach," Helcher, 595 F.3d at 718, than the plain meaning of those words take. We are interpreting a statute, not designing one. Although we, like most judges, have enough ego to believe that we could improve a good many statutes if given the chance, statutory construction does not give us that chance if we are true to the judicial function. Our duty is to say what statutory language means, not what it should mean, and not what it would mean if we had drafted it
Just last term, the Supreme Court decided Arlington v. FCC, which also involved Section 332(c)(7) of the Communications Act.

I have a question. It's most likely been answered in here somewhere, but I haven't found it.
"No count item". How is that determined, or rather, what constitutes a no count item?
Thank you in advance for your patience with this guy.
"No Count" items are items which either came with the program used, or are items which are no longer available either free or for purchase, or never were because they're customs built by the user.

Law 360, New York (June 23, 2014, 11:22 AM ET)--Legal and compliance departments, take note: the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision in Pom Wonderful LLC v.Coca-Cola Co. confirms that even i fan institution's conduct meets the specific requirements established by the federal agency responsible for implementing one federal consumer protection law, it may nevertheless be considered unfairor deceptive under a different federal statutory scheme. Although the Pom opinion was written in response to alleged deceptive practices in the food and drug context, the high court's reasoning has significant implications for a broad range of entities including financial institutions—that are subject to both specific consumer protection rules as well as more general prohibitions on unfair,deceptive or abusive conduct.
In Pom, the Supreme Court considered whether pomegranate juice producer and distributor Pom Wonderful could sue competitor Coca-Cola for unfair competition under the Lanham Act based on Coca-Cola's use of an allegedly misleading label on a juice blend product. The Lanham Act authorizes one competitor to sue another for unfair competition arising from deceptive or misleading product descriptions. Specifically, Pom alleged Coca-Cola's label, which prominently displays the words"pomegranate blueberry," misleads consumers into believing the product consists predominantly of pomegranate and blueberry juice, when it actually contain only 0.3 percent pomegranate juice and 0.2 percent blueberry juice.

An Analysis of Cardiology – Acute Coronary Syndrome, and Anticoagulants By US Medical Experts
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/490602/cardiology_acute) has announced the addition of the "Cardiology – Acute Coronary Syndrome, Anticoagulants" report to their offering.
This report provides in-depth analysis of the market and pipeline from the perspective of global thought leaders.
This report is based on a series of seven full interviews with US Thought Leaders (emergency medicine, orthopedic surgery, interventional cardiology, electrophysiology), and supporting comments from our last interventional CV report (January 2008). This Panel convened shortly after ACC 2008. In an era of greater restrictions on detailing to physicians we asked our Panel to outline the differences that they see in reps who market drugs and devices. The Panel provided general comments and specific real-world examples on how hospital-based reps are influencing their prescribing behavior. One of the key drawbacks to warfarin is the need for INR monitoring. The Panel discusses the new in-home INR options.
The Panel next focused on the role of interventional and medical therapy in acute coronary syndrome. The discussion covered a broad array of stents (drug eluting vs. bare metal) and anticoagulants and their interplay in the emergency room, the cath lab, the EP lab, the orthopedic surgical theater and the post-hospital environment. Each Panelist shares a perspective on the balance between restenosis, anticoagulant effects, risks of DVT/PE and bleeding.
In order to understand the issues surrounding post-operative surgical bleeding, we also spoke with an orthopedic surgeon specializing in "high profile injuries" for a number of major US sports teams. Finally, we received input into a variety of devices and new drugs targeting atrial arrhythmias
