The British government is set to argue at the European Court of Human Rights that Christians do not have the right to wear a cross or crucifix openly at work.
But wait, Christians in the UK are not allowed to wear a cross, while Sikhs can wear turbans, and Muslims are free to don the hijab? What are we to make of this?
Furthermore, when a UK court banned the use of Christian prayers at public meetings recently, the Conservative government was up in arms.
So what's going on?
Wearing A Crucifix Not A "Requirement" Of The Christian Faith
Apparently the government will argue that employers can ban the wearing of the cross and sack workers who insist on doing so because wearing the crucifix is not a "requirement" of the Christian faith.
The Government's position received an angry response last week from prominent figures including Lord Carey, the former Archbishop of Canterbury.
He accused ministers and the courts of "dictating" to Christians and said it was another example of Christianity becoming sidelined in official life.
From The Telegraph:
The Strasbourg case hinges on whether human rights laws protect the right to wear a cross or crucifix at work under Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
It states: "Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief, in worship, teaching, practice and observance."
The Christian women bringing the case, Nadia Eweida and Shirley Chaplin, claim that they were discriminated against when their employers barred them from wearing the symbols.
They want the European Court to rule that this breached their human right to manifest their religion.
The Government's official response states that wearing the cross is not a "requirement of the faith" and therefore does not fall under the remit of Article 9.
Lawyers for the two women claim that the Government is setting the bar too high and that "manifesting" religion includes doing things that are not a "requirement of the faith", and that they are therefore protected by human rights.
Last year it emerged that Mrs Eweida, a British Airways worker, and Mrs Chaplin, a nurse, had taken their fight to the European Court in Strasbourg after both faced disciplinary action for wearing a cross at work.
Eweida argued that British Airways allowed members of other faiths to wear religious garments and symbols.
Chaplin was barred from working on hospital wards after she refused to hide the cross she wore on a necklace chain, ending 31 years of nursing.
The Archbishop Of Canterbury Distances Himself
Separating himself from some of his Christian colleagues, Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, seemed to undermine the case for wearing the crucifix when he said that for many Christians, it has become little more than jewellery, "which religious people make and hang on to" as a substitute for true faith.
Williams, speaking at a church service in Rome where he met the Pope on the weekend, said the cross had been stripped of its meaning as part of a tendency to manufacture religion.
A great comment to start a whole new chain of dialog!
This seems a strange position for the Government to take, given the rights of other religions to wear things signifying their faith. And it's hard to see what they can gain by pursuing this ban on crosses. Or, indeed, how they can reconcile lauding Christian prayers in public and banning the wearing of a cross.
And all those crosses in Britain – will they soon rename Charing Cross?
What do you think?

if Christians fight this, then Nazis should be allowed to wear their swastika, and the white clad KKK should be allowed to go to work in their sheets.
If you feel you need to wear a cross, keep it tucked in your clothes. If you insist on wearing it visibly you are advertising.
How much hassle would I get if I were to wear an atheist or pagan or Jewish pendant outside my shirt?
Should my choice be any more, or less, acceptable than yours?
I believe one's choice to have no religion or to have any variant of religion should be a private matter. Once it is, by intent, worn publicly you are making a statement, not worshiping.
Dare I suggest that most delicate art of compromise be employed here for those who feel that their religion demands the wearing of a cross?( Ooo I do!) Just tuck it beneath your shirt where you can feel it against your heart/chest and be done with it. It's getting more than a little tiresome to keep hearing about various and sundry "religious"people whinging on about all their "rights" - which MUST be shoved in everyone elses faces - get over yourselves - nobody else is interested in your displays, and many of us are beyond sick of wasting tax dollars on these frivolous cases.
@ Gina D: If the UK government banned burqa's, long beards and such, even if it was for some religious (read islame bullshit) reasons, would you be crying "racism/islame-a-phobie/etc"
Personally, I don't care if the ban ALL religious symbolism, and one day I hope all people realize religion=bullshit, but to say you can't wear a cross while having prayer rooms, allowing burquas, long beards etc is crap
hey ho - can't anyone find anything more productive to get so irate about?
When will the british government find their backbone and stand up for the christians in their own country. Every other religion has rights, what about us.
The trouble with the British government's definition is that they are lumping all Christians in the same pot. There are some "christians' for whom the wearing of a cross is little more than wearing jewelry. However, for other Christians such as those who are adherents of the Eastern Orthodox branch of Christian, our crosses/crucifixes are not mere decoration. We receive them on our baptisms or Chrismations (Confirmation) and they are a visible sign of our faith! We are marked by the seal of Christ...and the cross demonstrates that. So yes it IS a requirement for us to wear our crosses. If we remove them, basically, it's the same as conforming to the ways of the world rather than following Christ. Notice that no one is telling Jews to remove a star of David, nor telling Sikhs to remove their headcoverings. Yet, the British government thinks it's ok to tell Christians to remove their crosses? That is plain wrong and unfair. Christians: it's time to take a stand. WEAR YOUR CROSS TODAY! The ONLY way someone will remove my cross from my neck is if I am dead! It's that simple.
There's nothing illegal about an employer placing a *general* ban on necklaces or jewelry in the workplace (due to safety reasons, uniformity, or whatever). Your religion does not grant you any special exemptions to the rules that everybody else has to follow. It's true that an employer is not allowed to discriminate on the basis of religious content (i.e. he can't tell you not to wear a particular necklace because it's christian or religious), but there's no evidence that British Airways did such a thing here.
In which fairy tale did you find that, Maria del mar N.?
England and is officially a Muslim country and a country of Freemasons who dominate the highest political offices are open enemies satanic cults and Christianity.

Oilers GM: Bruins haven't made offer for top pick
|06.10.10 at 4:31 pm ET
As rumors swirl regarding what the Bruins may or may not be offering Steve Tambellini in exchange for the first overall pick in this month's NHL draft, the Oilers general manager confirmed Thursday that he has spoken to his Boston counterpart in Peter Chiarelli — just not about the pick.
'Last time I talked to Peter was the general managers' meetings in Philly [between Games 3 and 4 of the Stanley Cup finals]. Peter hasn't thrown any names at me. No proposals. But I'm all ears,' Tambellini told the Edmonton Journal.
'I don't know what it take to give up the first pick overall in this year's draft. I know there will be proposals and I'm looking forward to seeing what they might be, but I don't know if I would recommend to [Oilers president of hockey operations] Kevin (Lowe) or our ownership that we should move the first pick,' Tambellini told the paper.
Hall of Fame writer Jim Matheson of the Journal writes in the report that Tembellini is "almost surely not giving up the first pick." The Oilers brought highly coveted Windsor Spitfires left wing and anticipated top pick Taylor Hall in on Wednesday and were set to make him available to the media shortly after. If a trade isn't made, the Bruins, who pick second, will take whomever is left between Hall and Plymouth Whalers center Tyler Seguin. Tambellini insists the team has yet to settle on who they will select.
'I don't think there's a wrong answer here … There's lots of reasons to go either way,' Tambellini told the paper. 'But it's getting clearer as to what may be separating the players. We're not making our final decision until the very end. We've told both kids we're going to do that.'
The Bruins have already met with both Hall and Seguin and have ammunition for a trade in the form of the 15th and 32nd overall picks, as well as two picks in each of the first two rounds of the 2011 draft.

The Chargers are not surprised.
Ken Whisenhunt is a head coach again.
Their offensive coordinator assumed a new title less than 24 hours after a playoff loss to the Broncos, accepting an offer to coach the Titans. Whisenhunt interviewed with Tennessee last Friday in San Diego, and he's expected to be formally introduced as its head coach today.
The departure creates a vacancy for the Chargers at offensive coordinator.
Quarterbacks coach Frank Reich is considered the favorite to fill it.
Reich was a quarterback for 14 seasons in the NFL, the bulk of which were spent with the Bills from 1985 to 1994.
"Frank would be great. Frank would be great," quarterback Philip Rivers said. "Obviously, if that were the case, he'd be a first-time playcaller, but in the offense he was in and the time he spent with Jim Kelly and what they ran in Buffalo, there's no doubt he can do it. If that were to be the route, we'd all be confident in Frank."
Whisenhunt was the Cardinals' head coach from 2007 to 2012.
Coach Mike McCoy chose him to be his offensive coordinator last January. He did so, McCoy said Monday, well aware of the possibility Whisenhunt could leave to be a head coach the next offseason.
It became clear over recent weeks that'd be the case.
Whisenhunt attracted his share of interest. The Lions were among the teams also who interviewed him last week, doing so Thursday in San Diego. The Browns also reportedly interviewed him Saturday.
"I don't want to lose him, but I understand the profession," McCoy said hours before Whisenhunt's hiring was announced. "Ken has done an outstanding job here this year. He is a big reason why we got as far as we did, not only on the field, but behind the scenes with things that he did to help me. There are a lot of things that come up on a daily basis that might be the first time for me. There were a lot of things I ran by him from the first day. ...
"Like I told the players here, when good things happen, people are rewarded for it. If we lose him, someone will be very fortunate to get him."
Bad injury
A high ankle sprain carries a four-to-six-week recovery timetable. Ryan Mathews didn't miss one game.
The Chargers running back was clearly hobbled in the team's two playoff contests, not playing in the second half Sunday of a 24-17 loss to the Broncos. While Mathews declined to confirm, sources said his limitation was the result of a high ankle sprain.
"It was tough," Mathews said Monday. "I wanted to be out there every play just to help them."
He first injured the left ankle on Dec. 22 against the Raiders.
After a visit to the locker room, he returned to the field in the fourth quarter and finished with 25 carries for 99 yards and a touchdown.
The next week, he rushed 24 times for a career-high 144 yards versus Kansas City, helping the Chargers clinch a playoff berth.

|49ers hoping changes will improve return game
|Written by Admin
|Friday, 15 November 2013 12:48
Now it's up to running backs LaMichael James, Anthony Dixon and a few other newcomers in the role to provide them.
With their return game lagging near the bottom of the NFL rankings, the 49ers have entrusted a new set of players with bringing back kicks as they head into the November stretch run. The team released Kyle Williams and Perrish Cox on Tuesday, two players who had handled most of San Francisco's returns before last week's loss to Carolina.
Coach Jim Harbaugh said Friday that the 49ers are taking their return shortcomings seriously, but are confident the latest shake-up will add a spark on special teams when the 49ers face NFC South leader New Orleans on Sunday.

The Languedoc-Roussillon region
Even though it is renowned for its heritage dating back to ancient Greek times and its climate with 300 plus days of sunshine per year, the Languedoc region of France remains one of France's best-kept secrets.
The capital of the Languedoc is Montpellier. With its chic, cosmopolitan shops and historic sites Montpellier frequently tops polls as the best city in France in which to live and is well worth a visit. Its architecture ranges from perfectly preserved Roman structures to the ultra modern and it is the most pleasant place in which to spend a day or even longer.
Béziers is a short drive from the property and is also worth a visit with its strong Spanish culture and its medieval buildings recalling the siege by Simon de Montfort who took the town and killed 20,000 Cathar heretics in July 1209.
Just 5 minutes across the river Hérault is the beautiful old town of Pézenas. Here you'll find a variety of restaurants to suit all tastes and budgets as well as a whole host of craft shops in the old town (which remain open until midnight on Wednesdays and Fridays in the summer). Also in July and August is the famous Mirondela dels Arts cultural event with theatrical, dance and musical performances as well as street events. There are also two big supermarkets in Pézenas.
In contrast, in the lively town of Cap d'Agde you will find all the activities from funfairs to casins, from nightclubs to outdoor cinema that you would associate with any major seaside resort.
There is excellent bathing and beaches on the Mediterranean, the Etang de Thau, the River Hérault and the Lac du Salagou. The nearest beach is in Meze 12 kms from the property. A variety of beaches on the Med from the relatively secluded with few facilities to the more lively with restaurants and bars are within a short drive. Most beaches are of fine sand and shelve gently making them child-friendly. Boat hire, sea fishing, sub aqua and a variety of water sports can be arranged.
I8 hole golf courses are available at Béziers, Cap d'Agde, Juvignac and La Grande Motte all within reasonable driving distance. There is a pretty 9 hole course at Lamalou le Bains.
Whatever your special interest may be we can tailor make a holiday to meet your specific requirements. Whether you want to go horse riding, enjoy the fantastic fishing, explore the area's rich history from the Greeks to the Romans, from the Saracens to the Cathars; or simply get to know the excellent value for money provided by the local cuisine we can help you. We have in the past also organised holidays for those with interests in cycling, antiques, sailing, astronomy, painting and bird watching.
Or if you want to discover more about the excellent quality and value for money of our local wines we can use our local contacts to arrange for visits and tastings to a variety of producers.
10 minutes walk away is the medieval village of Montagnac which has lively bars and restaurants and can meet your everyday shopping needs with bakeries, a butcher, delicatessens, stalls for locally grown fruit and vegetables, a newsagents (English papers on the same day - if you're quick!), bank, post office and a shop for oysters, mussels etc. There is a small well stocked supermarket. On Fridays, there is a colourful market where you can buy local produce and specialities such as shellfish and charcuterie.
And of course right on the doorstep there is an abundance of superb local wines to enjoy during your stay and to take home with you.

Mumbai: Two Air India pilots have been suspended following an enquiry into Sunday's near-collision between an AI aircraft and a Jet Airways plane at the airport here.
However, the Air Traffic Control's (ATC) obsolete equipment is as much to blame as are the AI pilots, an AI source claimed on Tuesday.
When an ATC official gave the Jet pilot clearance for take-off, the AI pilot too responded. Multiple pilots responding to the same command was not unusual, the source said on condition of anonymity. The official, however, did not hear the AI pilot's response because of faulty equipment.
As a result, both planes readied for take-off on cross-runways (runways that intersect in an 'X' formation) at the same time when only the Jet pilot had the clearance.
This situation arose because the Mumbai airport had started round-the-clock operations on its cross-runways on Saturday, the source said. Cross-runway operations were on in many cities of the world including Chicago. But in Mumbai, the decision was not highlighted properly.
The ATC operates with only 214 air traffic controllers, against the projected requirement of 325.
Four years ago, the ATC strength was 180. At that time, the Mumbai airport handled a traffic of 22.2 million passengers, according to figures given by Manish Kalghatgi, Public Relations Officer for the Mumbai International Airport Limited.
Since then, the ATC strength has gone up by 34, while the number of passengers went up to 23.4 million in 2008-09.

I really liked the place: the lady encharged is extremely kind, and courteous with the costumers. She sent mails and messages which made much easier to find the place. Also provide great information regarding the main attractions of the city. The location is super good, just about 20 min walking to the old town "citta alta". Breakfast very good, as well the apartment in general. In summary, the staying at Accademia was perfect.

Good luck with the changes in your diet. A few years back, my cholesterol, triglycerides, and liver counts were through the roof and I had to give up alcohol other than on rare special occasions. Not fun considering I used to brew my own beer. But my levels dropped dramatically in short order, so well worth the investment in my health.
As for chili, Cincy style is fun. Never had the real stuff, but have made it from a recipe a few times. My favorite is a pork chili verde I conjured up one Super Bowl Sunday a few years back.
Yeah, we were actually next to second base, which I guess isn't really the short stop position.
The best Cincinnati style chili will be the one I try to make next.

J. Allen, as for the ethics of vegetarianism, I grew up next to my grandparent's farm. We were trained early to harden our hearts towards what we saw. It was difficult; I think the natural inclination is kindness, and it never occurred to my elders that perhaps they should have allowed is to own our feelings of compassion.
I agree. You should be able to feel however you wish. I feel that if such a thing doesn't bother you, okay. If it does, that's just as alright. I was never completely comfortable with it, and as I get older, I find it less and less appealing. That's just for me, though, and I would never hold anyone else to that. We're omnivores by nature. What's nice is that it also lets me make a choice, and my body doesn't have to suffer for that choice.

Two men charged in Bryan Stow beating
Jul 22, 2011, 8:54 PM EDT
Following up on last night's revelations, the Associated Press is reporting that two men were charged today in the brutal Opening Day beating of Bryan Stow at Dodger Stadium.
Louie Sanchez, 29, and Marvin Norwood, 30, were charged with one count each of mayhem, assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury, and battery with serious bodily injury. Charges against a third suspect, 31-year-old Dorene Sanchez, are pending.
"The Los Angeles Police Department never gave up on this case," District Attorney Steve Cooley said in a prepared statement. "The experienced prosecutors assigned to the case will present the evidence in the courtroom, where ultimate decisions will be made."
New details of the attack are disturbing. The complaint alleged that both men personally inflicted great bodily injury on Stow, "causing him to become comatose due to brain injury and to suffer paralysis." The mayhem count mentioned above alleged that they "did cut and disable the tongue, and put out an eye and slit (Stow's) nose, ear and lip."
If convicted, Sanchez could get nine years in state prison while Norwood could face an eight-year term. Sanchez was also charged with two misdemeanor counts of battery stemming from a separate incident on the same day as the beating. Sounds like one heckuva guy.
Giovanni Ramirez was arrested in May in connection with the attack, but police Chief Charlie Beck officially announced today that he is no longer a suspect.

- clydeserra - Jul 22, 2011 at 9:28 PM
It was reported that a woman showed up at a dry cleaner with an eithier shirt with what was said to be stows blood. There was never any word connecting the woman or the shirt to Ramirez.

Quick story about Gary...
So, last year we were at Districts in Norfolk. We had won our 1st match 4-1 and were pretty confident we would win the 3rd match. It was the 2nd match vs NOVA Big Shots we were concerned about, mostly because it was scheduled @ 8AM Sun morning.
Well, Gary shows up at the hotel bar ~ 11PM Saturday night, just as everyone is about to head off to bed. Long story short, Gary buys martinis for everyone,
all night
. The whole team, except me & my doubles partner, stay up until after 3AM drinking hard.
We finally get Gary out of bed at 7:30 (remember, our match is at 8 ), and I'm the stuckee that has to ride with him. He's driving through Norfolk towards ODU like Mario Andretti the whole time shaking his head saying (heavily accented) 'I probably shouldn't be driving'...
We arrive just as they call the teams, Gary & Vinnie are playing next to us and look like they about to blow chow on the court. We ended up losing the match 3-2, the wins coming from me & my partner and our 4.5 ringer (who's now a 5.0), and his win was a 3rd set tiebreaker vs someone he would have normally beat easily in straight sets.

"It is realizing the potential of the electronic environment for providing access to scholarly materials to students and teachers at all kinds of institutions. Questia will improve education for those on campus and make education possible for the growing number of students studying in distance education programs.

He was also Special Associate to the President of the University of California for Instructional Technology. Concurrently, Dr. Chodorow has returned to teaching and will continue to teach part-time while serving Questia.

Beauty company sets aside P9M for 3 Cebu outlets
A FILIPINO-owned firm specializing in beauty products and services will invest at least P9 million for three new outlets in the middle of the year.
"This year we are targeting to open three to four outlets in the country. We currently have a total of 35 clinics after 11 years of operations. Most or 24 of our outlets are company-owned while the rest are franchise outlets. We opened three outlets last year and would still want to maintain the same level of aggressiveness in the Filipino market," said Drew Donovan-Mendoza, Flawless business manager during a press briefing last week.
For every opening, the company pours in around P3 million to P4 million in investment, Mendoza said.
Rubby Sy, Flawless founder and chief executive officer, said they were seeing an active "vibe" in the Cebu market, which made them decide to expand in the Cebu market.
Mendoza agreed. He said that he's been visiting Cebu for many years and had seen the changes and fast development of the market.
Mendoza said for they were talking with major malls in Cebu for their expansions which included SM Consolacion, SM Seaside City and Ayala Center Cebu.
Mendoza said they are confident of the investments that they will be pouring in for the expansions because Filipinos now spend more to pamper themselves which includes getting a facial service from known brands like Flawless.
According to the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB), the bulk of the 6.6 percent gross domestic product growth of the Philippines last year came from the Filipinos spending on beauty and travel expenses.
NSCB 2012 data showed that health and beauty spending which accounted for 15.2 percent of the 6.6 percent GDP increase./Reporter Aileen Garcia-Yap

Volcanic grime
A pair of glasses are caked in ash after Mount Tongariro erupted for the first time in more than 100 years on Aug. 7 in Tongariro National Park on the North Island of New Zealand. The eruption lasted for about 30 minutes. Some residents were forced to evacuate their homes, but there were no injuries or damages.
In addition to Mount Tongariro, which last erupted intermittently from 1855 to 1897, the national park also features two other active volcanoes situated in the same compact area: Mount Ruapehu and Mount Ngauruhoe.

The Blue Room (La Chambre bleue)

An unexpected development: Growing suspicions that Mark Olmstead, Marla's father and an amateur painter himself, may have lent more than encouraging words to his daughter's endeavor. Dazzled by the media attention (and, one presumes, the money), he was stumped by the inevitable backlash, unable to offer convincing proof of his daughter's sole authorship.
An inevitable talking head: "There's this large idea out there that abstract art and modern art in general has no standards, no truths," says Michael Kimmelman, chief art critic of The New York Times and running commentator on the cultural implications of the Marla mystery in My Kid Could Paint That. "That if a child could do it, it pulls the veil off this con game."
What began as a human-interest story for filmmaker Amir Bar-Lev led down stranger paths than the Duchampian conundrums of modern art. The Olmsteads, desiring an ally to tell their side of the story, granted Bar-Lev intimate access to their household, and My Kid Could Paint That is foremost a study in a most unusual and unsettling family dynamic. Mark's eagerness to exploit Marla's fame is poised against his wife Laura's reluctance and intuition that theirs is a situation bound to get out of control. Meanwhile, little Marla bears no sign of distress over her extraordinary circumstances, making her innocent poise all the more poignant.
Confronted with increasing media scrutiny and skepticism, Mark produces a DVD purporting to record the start-to-finish creation of a Marla masterpiece. Bar-Lev counters with altogether more persuasive evidence to the contrary via split-screen comparison of canvasses. Are Mark and Laura lying? If My Kid Could Paint That is the record of a con, its artists are supremely confident practitioners. Is Marla, as the parents claim, simply too shy on camera to work in her true style? Evidence points to some level of assistance, but no conclusions are drawn. "Your documentary will be a lie," Kimmelman says to the camera, speaking to larger questions of authenticity raised by Bar-Lev; "it's how you decided to tell a particular story."

Everything surrounding the 2014 version of Altus High School Football feels new.
What use to be the automechanics building is now a training/film/weight room facility that a small college would love to have. Couple that with a regime change at the helm of the coaching staff and everything looks new for the Bulldogs.
New head coach Jeremy Reid takes the Bulldogs into 2014 bringing an excited optimism with him.
He inherits a program at one of its lowest times in its history.
Since 2004, Altus has had two winning seasons going 6-5 in 2005 and 2008. However, While the Bulldogs were doing some end of summer testing in the weight room last night, it seemed like everyone was keeping a secret. It felt like they all new something that others outside the program didn't know. It felt like a team tired of losing. One with a chip on its shoulder.
The new facilities are impressive to cut right through the adjectives. The squat racks are new. The hot tub is new. The film screen, excuse me, the two touch screen smartboards in the film room are new. The intensity level is new. Coach Terry is new. Altus' own Matt Terry, a former standout QB for the Bulldogs and son of former coach Mike Terry, returns home to coach safeties.
Several people from Reid's coaching peers to folks at the local Lion's Club where Coach Reid spoke recently have been impressed with him. He is a dynamic individual who looks like he could still be playing the game.
"We love the intensity level he brought with him." said Mitch McLaughlin Head Athletic Trainer, "He works hard and expects us and the kids to do the same. It's infectious."
McLaughlin leaves behind an outdated training facility and enters a facility he can take pride in. "It's just great to see the commitment the board and the community have shown to these student/athletes," McLaughlin added.
The players have taken notice of the commitment as well. During the "Summer Pride" voluntary strength and conditioning program, the coaches claim a 96% participation level. After seeing the new training facilities and the buzz surrounding the team, one ponders where was the other 4%?

Communications Officer: Job Duties and Education Requirements
Learn about the education and preparation needed to become a communications officer. Get a quick view of the requirements as well as details about degree programs, job duties and necessary skills to find out if this is the career for you.
Essential Information
Communications officers may also be called communications or public relations specialists, and they serve as liaisons between organizations and the public. Communications directors may supervise a team of communications specialists. A bachelor's degree is the typical qualification for communications officers.
|Required Education
|Bachelor's degree in communications, public relations or similar field
|Projected Job Growth (2012-2022)*
|13% for public relations and fundraising managers; 12% for public relations specialists
|Mean Salary (2013)*
|$111,260 for public relations and fundraising mangers; $63,020 for public relations specialists
Source: *U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
Communications Officer Job Duties
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the specific job duties for communications officers depend on the type and size of the organizations that employ them (www.bls.gov). For instance, a small company may employ just one communications officer, who could be responsible for tasks like writing press releases and responding to media inquiries about the company. Other jobs that may be delegated to communications specialists include arranging speaking engagements for the company's leadership and maintaining contacts within the media. In some cases, communications specialists might also be responsible for writing marketing materials or coordinating promotional events.
Public relations specialists for large corporations may focus on maintaining relations with a specific entity like the press, the government, consumers or interest groups representing the company's industry sector. High-level communications officers in large organizations may coordinate with company executives to plan the corporation's public relations strategy. If a public relations crisis occurs, the communications officer may need to coordinate the organization's response.
Reports from the BLS showed that for the 2012-2022 decade, the job outlook for public relations and fundraising managers was projected to see a 13% increase. Public relations specialists were projected to see a 12% increase in jobs during the same time. Public relations specialists had an average income of $63,020 per year, and public relations and fundraising managers made an average salary of $111,260 based on 2013 information from the BLS.
Communications Officer Education Requirements
The BLS reports that employers typically hire communications officers with bachelor's degrees. Many organizations look for graduates with degrees in fields like communications, journalism or public relations. Others prefer graduates with degrees relevant to their industries, such as IT or engineering. The BLS suggests that public relations majors supplement their communications studies with coursework in areas like psychology, political science and business.
The Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) currently accredits more than 20 public relations degree programs in the U.S. (www.prsa.org). Typical course topics for public relations degree programs include mass media, persuasion theory, visual communications and persuasive writing. The BLS suggests that aspiring communications officers supplement their coursework with internships and membership in societies like the Public Relations Student Society of America and the International Association of Business Communicators.

Bolts nail No. 4 seed; Talk N' Text takes down Ginebra
Meralco led from start to finish in sweeping past a relaxed San Mig Coffee side, 87-77, last night at Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay, to seal the No. 4 ranking in the PBA Philippine Cup playoffs that start on Wednesday.
Mac Cardona and Reynel Hugnatan tossed in 15 each as the Bolts closed out their elimination round stint with an 8-6 card, tied with idle Alaska.
San Mig still finished at No. 2 despite the loss with a 10-4 card and the Mixers will be slugging it out with sister team Petron Blaze, needing to beat the Boosters just once to advance to the Final Four.
Talk 'N Text, the No. 1 seed, will be paired with Air21, with the Texters also owning a twice-to-beat advantage.
As if to underscore their leading position, the Texters rallied from 17 points down in the third quarter to repulse Barangay Ginebra, 87-80, in the second game.
The Tropang Texters dug deep to win a game they really didn't need, closing out with a winning feeling and a 12-2 card heading into their playoff clash with Air21 on Thursday at Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Ginebra, which led, 58-41 in the third, finished with a 7-7 card and No. 6 seed.
"Being the No. 2 seed, this game was a luxury for San Mig," said Meralco's Ryan Gregorio. "For us, we just wanted to find ways to win this one. Luckily, we did."
Meralco will battle No. 5 Alaska in a best-of-three series this Wednesday at Smart Araneta Coliseum in Cubao with the Gin Kings facing No. 3 Rain or Shine.
The Elasto Painters, the reigning Governors' Cup champions, seem to be the most dangerous team in the lot after welcoming back last year's top rookie Paul Lee on Wednesday.
Peter June Simon paced the Mixers with 19 points and Aldrech Ramos had 15.
But coach Tim Cone did not use former two-time MVP James Yap while experimenting on several combinations which could help him in the playoffs.
"We really wanted to put our spirits to the test in terms of finishing the elims at No. 4," Gregorio said. "This is the best (elims) finish for our young franchise. Now, as No. 4, our minds are focused for the quarterfinals (series) against Alaska."
"There's no such thing as a no-bearing game (for us)," said Talk 'N Text coach Norman Black, who got 24 points from Jason Castro.
The scores:
First Game
MERALCO 87—Cardona 15, Hugnatan 15, Mercado 12, Borboran 9, Buenafe 9, Reyes 8, Sharma 7, Hodge 5, Salvacion 3, Nabong 2, Ross 2, Bulawan 0.
SAN MIG COFFEE 77—Simon 19, Ramos 15, Barroca 8, Pingris 8, De Ocampo 8, Gaco 5, Devance 4, Intal 3, Ponferada 2, Villanueva 2, Gonzales 2, Reavis 1, Pacana 0.
Quarters: 19-15, 45-39, 68-61, 87-77
Second Game
TALK 'N TEXT 87—Castro 24, Peek 16, Williams 13, Fonacier 11, Reyes 8, Alapag 6, De Ocampo 4, Aban 3, Dillinger 2, Ferriols 0, Carey 0.
GINEBRA 80—Caguioa 20, Tenorio 19, Raymundo 10, Maierhofer 4, Mamaril 4, Hatfield 4, Ellis 3, Labagala 3, Helterbrand 3, Taha 2, Jensen 2, Maliksi 2, Espiritu 2, Wilson 2.
Quarters: 23-22, 38-49, 68-73, 87-80

Daily Challenge Friday Apr. 13, 2012
Once today, use less sugar, sweetener, milk, or cream - or none at all - in your coffee or tea.
How to do it
Once today, go for one less teaspoon or packet of sugar or artificial sweetener, or cut back on the milk or cream. If you don't use sugar, artificial sweetener, or milk/cream in your morning brew, then you're already there and can click Done!
Why it matters
Habits are hard to break, especially when they are part of our coffee or tea routine. But cutting your intake of sugar, artificial sweetener, and milk or cream by just a little bit can improve your health. Extra sugar and milk (or cream) can lead to weight gain and high triglyceride levels, which can increase your risk of heart disease. Artificial sweeteners may also set the stage for problems, because research shows that they may actually motivate you to eat more.
Fun fact
Film stuntmen use plate glass windows made of sugar, also known as sugar glass or candy glass.

I use tea and coffee as both a comforting drink/time out and also as a motivator, a pick-me-up or brain stimulation for work/study. I do not have sugar etc in coffee, only milk, but I do have sugar or sweeteners in tea. The amount of teaspoons I have of sugar have slowly ...see more

Letter: With voters' assent, Obama about to prove doomsayers wrong
Kenneth Parvin, Jensen Beach
Letter: With voters' assent, Obama about to prove doomsayers wrong
I would like to assure Joya De Gregorio (Nov. 11 letter, "Fearful of what rests ahead") that she need not feel saddened by the result of the election or fearful for our beloved America and where it will be at the end of the next four years. She should be thankful that it is in extremely competent hands.
She need not fear one iota for her grandsons, who now will be guaranteed medical insurance coverage that cannot be denied for any pre-existing condition. Their possibility of going to college will be greatly increased, too. As the economy surges forward, as it surely will, their prospects of successful careers also will be significantly enhanced, the result of a more prosperous and peaceful world.
There is no doubt that De Gregorio's grandsons will inherit a better country than she did.
It was reported that all of Europe was on its knees, as indeed was the entire world, praying for an Obama victory on election night. I think it is safe to say Europe's prayers have been answered.
Had the election gone the other way, it would have meant total economic disaster for us all.

Costa Rica are back on the world stage after missing South Africa 2010 and will be hoping they can make an impact in Brazil.
They were reasonably comfortable in CONCACAF's six-team final qualifying round, finishing second behind the USA, with a record of five wins and three draws from their 10 fixtures.
During that process, Los Ticos beat both Mexico and the US on the way to a perfect record on unfamiliar soil but it was their subpar form on the road which is likely to pose problems in Brazil.
Pinto's side couldn't win away from Costa Rica during qualifying and have managed just one victory in eight outings on their travels which does not bode well for a series of matches on alien territory.
Realistically, Brazil 2014 is more about the experience and privilege for Costa Rica as they get set to tackle South American heavyweights Uruguay and European pair Italy and England, but as the say in the classics, stranger things have happened…
Costa Rica
Manager: Jorge Luis Pinto
Fixtures: Uruguay - June 14 (Fortaleza), Italy- June 20 (Recife), England - June 24 (Belo Horizonte)
Past outings against group opponents: Costa Rica have played Uruguay eight times in history but have failed to salute on any occasion. Their record against the Uruguayans includes two draws and six losses. They last met in an intercontinental play-off for the 2010 WC which saw Uruguay win 2-1 on aggregate.
Los Ticos have come up against Italy only once before which saw the Azzurri win 1-0 in a friendly in the USA in 1994.
Costa Rica have never met England at senior international level.
Key players: Bryan Ruiz (Fullham), Alvaro Saborio (Real Salt Lake), Joel Campbell (Arsenal), Celso Borges (AIK Stockholm)
World Cup utopia: Making it to the Round of 16.
Doomsday scenario: Failing to record a point would hurt but not scoring in the group stage would be a complete disaster.
Qualified by virtue of: Finishing second on CONCACAF's hexagonal table.
Best result at a World Cup: Round of 16 (1990)
tribal's forecast:
The creative and clever Ruiz is by far Costa Rica's most important player and will need to be at his absolute peak if La Sele are to challenge their three more-fancied rivals.
Striker Saborio, who plies his trade in North America's MLS, is relied upon too heavily for goals and needs plenty of support up top with the country's most talented youngster Campbell expected to deliver that.
However, you can't pin your hopes on an inexperienced 21-year old even if he has already played more than 30 times for the national team.
The likes of AIK midfielder Borges, FC Copenhagen's Christian Bolanos and Mainz defender Junior Diaz will need to bring their European experience to the fore to assist the aforementioned key players.
Colombian boss Pinto brings with him strong defensive ideals as he looks to make up for the apparent shortcomings in attack which makes Costa Rica an extremely difficult side to score against.
Their best bet with a five-man defence will be to strangle their opposition and try to hit them on the counter which at times can work well in a tournament situation.
It would be remiss of me to completely dismiss the Costa Ricans, as they are ranked 34th in the world ahead of such nations as the Czech Republic, Ghana, Turkey and Nigeria, but they will need a minor miracle to progress from a group that consists of three previous World Cup winners.
Sure, they will take their opposition by surprise at some point but to do it over three matches against sides who have plenty to prove will be an enormous task in itself.
Prediction: Group stage elimination.

Every Monday we send you a killer playlist straight from NGHQ!
"Can I just be real for a second? Even though I will forever have a thing for Mick Jagger's moves (who cares if he's 100 years old?) and can't get enough of those weird-ass, crystal-encrusted Margiela masks Kanye's been wearing, the ladies always do it better. So I thought I'd pay homage to the greatest femmes to ever grace the stage. Yup—hide the dudes and prepare to sing the hell out of the ultimate guilty pleasure playlist featuring Whitney, Britney, Debbie, Diana, and even a little Dolly. This one's for the gurlzzz."

Monday, January 6, 2014 Studio Soundtracks: #MusicMonday: Psych Rock
Every Monday we send you a killer playlist straight from NGHQ!
"These are some of my favorite songs, and the playlist to my life! It embodies the free spiritedness of the '60s, the psychedelia of the '70s, and the birth of heavy and psychedelic metal. It's a culmination of all things celebrated during a time of great political and cultural upheaval—rock 'n roll, LSD, leather, love, freedom!"
—Alex Baldwin, Production Coordinator, Dresses and Outerwear
Monday, December 30, 2013 Studio Soundtracks: #MusicMonday: Bai, 2013!
"2013 was an amazing year for music. The quintessential pop star had to take a backseat to the enormous amount of underground music that dropped in past 12 months. True, we included Ariana Grande and Janelle Monáe in our playlist, but that's because they passed our test of tried-and-true best dancey tracks of 2013. Number one for me was definitely the Psychemagik Remix of "Relocate" by Kauf. If you're in Los Angeles for New Year's Eve, you can catch him at The Lash!"

When it comes to this rhymin' I'm a legend like Tutankhamun
from Talib Kweli – Human Mic Lyrics on Genius
https://twitter.com/TalibKweli/status/331766371908206592 There was confusion on this line for a while. Luckily Talib responded to us on Twitter.
Tutankhamun, known by most as King Tut, was only 9 years old when he became pharaoh. Not only that, he was the Son of Ra, meaning the pharaoh of all pharaohs.
