Down-ballot candidates for state office typically struggle for attention. But San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris, a Democratic candidate for attorney general of California who attended Tuesday's State Dinner at the White House, has become the subject of national attention.
The Harris breakthrough came earlier this year when PBS' Gwen Ifill went on the "Late Show with David Letterman" to discuss her new book on a rising generation of black leaders and noted that San Francisco's D.A. has been compared to the president of the United States.
"She's brilliant, she's smart. They call her the female Barack Obama," Ifill told Letterman.
Extensive media coverage followed, including a recent appearance on NBC's "Today" to discuss her new book, "Smart on Crime: A Career Prosecutor's Plan to Make Us Safer." Watch it HERE.
Harris, whose mother is from India and whose father is from Jamaica, is in a crowded field vying to become the Democratic candidate. If she is elected, she would be California's first African-American and first woman to hold the post of attorney general.
If she succeeds in her bid to be California's top law enforcement officer, pundits have speculated that the warm and engaging Harris, who campaigned for Obama in Iowa, could run to be governor or senator, and, perhaps, even president one day.
But before any of that can happen, Harris is facing questions about Back on Track, a rehabilitation program she started in San Francisco.
Back on Track was created to help young adults who are arrested once for selling drugs. The program's purpose is to keep participants from falling back into a life of crime.
"We give them a choice," Harris has written. "They can go through a tough, year-long program that will require them to get educated, stay employed, be responsible parents, drug test, and transition to a crime-free life, or they can go to jail."
Back On Track participants plead guilty to their crime, and their sentence is deferred while they appear before a judge every two weeks for about a year. They must obtain a high-school-equivalency diploma and hold down a steady job. Fathers need to remain in good standing on their child-support payments, and everyone has to take parenting classes.
For those who meet all of these requirements, the felony charge is cleared from their records. Those who do not meet the terms of the program are automatically referred to the general criminal court and are sentenced.
Back on Track has demonstrated positive results: It has reduced the re-offense rate among participants to 10 percent in a population in which the average re-offense rate is 54 percent.
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican, recently signed a bill sponsored by Assembly Speaker Karen Bass, a Democrat, that puts Back on Track in the penal code as a model for what the state can and should be doing to reduce recidivism.
The program has also received notice outside of California: It has been replicated in Atlanta and the National District Attorney's Association selected Back on Track as a model re-entry program.
If elected attorney general, Harris wants to encourage district attorneys throughout California to implement their own version of Back on Track in each of the state's 58 counties.

Vine, the video-looping app released back in January 2013, has proven itself to be much more than a passing fad. As a result, many brands across all sorts of industries continue to use the platform as a visually creative way to connect with fans and followers.
But, for some marketers, Vine is still somewhat of an unknown.The time limit is intimidating: For each Vine video, you have just six seconds to convey a message to your audience. What are best practices for planning out a six-second video? What equipment should you use? Which formats work best? How can you incorporate a call-to-action? How can you cross-promote on other social media networks?
To help answer these questions and more, check out the infographic below from SurePayroll. It'll help you perfect your Vine strategy so you can enhance your social media presence beyond photos and words....
Jeff Domansky's insight:
At the corner of Video and Vine, a chance for visual impact.
Tips to help you make the most of the psychology of mico-moments and how it impacts mobile marketing.
Jeff Domansky's insight:
Here's why micro-moments matter and how to use them in social marketing.
It doesn't matter if you're just starting your first blog or are a veteran blogger, there will come a time where you will have writers block. It could be because it's Friday afternoon and your brain has already started the weekend, or, it could be that you can't figure out what you should write about.
Often times people stick to the same blogging style for every post forgetting that there are so many types of blog posts that can help them mix things up. Not only will mixing up the blog posts help conquer your writers block (I've even included tips below on how you can pass off your writing duties to somebody else) but changing things up will also keep your readers engaged since you won't be so predictable from post to post.
Instead of listing every single type of post imaginable (the list would go on and on), I've included a list of my favorite blog post types below that are truly beneficial for increasing your visits and leads. Here's how....
Jeff Domansky's insight:
Carly Murphy offers a list of her favorites blog post types to get you started. Practical!
This blog will detail how you can use a content pillar as your launchpad for microcontent.
First, let's do a quick refresher about what microcontent is and what it can do.Think of microcontent as bite-sized information that counterbalances your high-value evergreen assets like whitepapers, eBooks, and case studies. Microcontent ensures a steady stream of original, real-time, and snackable content sandwiched between your content heavy-hitters. It's meant to be super shareable and trackable.
Exceptional microcontent allows you to not only contribute to an ongoing and engaging conversation, it helps you own it, moving you closer to achieving your marketing and sales goals....

Great look at microcontent and tips to develop content that gets results.

You can bet that this tactic is probably not part of any public relations textbook.
St. Louis reporter Elliot Davis tried to score an interview with the city's comptroller, Darlene Green. The request was denied via email, so Davis went to City Hall to speak with her about the city-owned car she drives, which costs taxpayers $26,000.
That's when Green's spokeswoman, Melanie Streeper steps in. Watch what happens....

A St. Louis TV reporter approached the local comptroller for an interview about spending. Then her spokeswoman stepped in. Has to be one of the best/worst bad PR examples in ages. Cringeworthy! Recommended viewing. 10/10

Meaningful insights that are applicable for your nonprofit marketing initiatives. Twitter analytics help identify audience characteristics that will make your Twitter campaigns more successful!
As marketers, most of us have learned the hard way—through failed campaigns and wasted budget—that audiences will reject content that does not respect their intelligence or thirst for cleverness, originality, and authenticity. For your strategy planning, here's a quick reminder about what microcontent is not:
- It isn't self-congratulatory messaging that touts the brand for the brand's sake
- It isn't about the hard sell
- It isn't solicitously pushed onto audiences
- It isn't an overt "pitch" of your products and services.
And, for your strategy planning, here's a quick reminder about what microcontent is...
Jeff Domansky's insight:
Here's the skinny on microcontent.
That is a problem many bloggers face. When you have a favorite blog you probably have already figured out what is the favorite type of blog story this bloggers likes to use. Often the reasons why one type of story is chosen over and over again has the simple reason that they work with the audience and the blogger feels comfortable with creating them.
But sometimes it is a simple lack of ideas for other types of blog stories you can use. To change that, I have compiled a list of ideas for types of stories you can use on your blog to have a little more variety in your posts....
Jeff Domansky's insight:
Mixing up different types of blog stories makes a blog more interesting, gives more opportunities for new stories and provides more value to the audience.

Brands must embrace a mobile-first approach if they hope to align with current consumer expectations and habits. For retailers in particular, mobile offers substantial opportunity to drive brand loyalty, boost foot traffic and expand basket size. Even as mobile sites become more sophisticated and user-friendly, a good number of brands are still under-investing in mobile capabilities. L2 researchers still encounter some hiccups — broken videos, inaccurate geolocation or broken store locators, and broken links that work on desktop sites — that undermine the mobile experience and a widespread failure to maximize the potential of mobile.
Brands looking to increase their mobile IQ can start with these four fundamentals.

The average American family uses about 150 products, according to marketing consultant Jack Trout. When you consider that supermarkets today carry close to 47,000 items, it makes you wonder where that leaves the other products vying for space in American kitchens.
Consumers are notoriously tough to convert, and getting their attention is a challenge. For CPG brands, this all adds up to an incredibly tough environment for new product launches.In fact, launching a CPG product is among the most difficult business endeavors facing brands today. It requires a rigorous cross-channel strategy to differentiate the product and encourage consumers to give it a try. In other words, successfully bringing a new product to market demands a relevant brand marketing conversation.
Making sure that conversation goes as planned requires expertise and an understanding of the latest and greatest tools and strategies. Here are five tips for successful product launches from the experts at Product of the Year....
Jeff Domansky's insight:
Word of mouth, cross branding and integration are the marketing ways to success. Good read.
The age of "my brand, my way" is here.
Consumers want to be known individually, and they no longer accept blanket statements. People are distinct in their preferences and their values. They identify with their uniqueness and expect the brands they care about to notice it, too.
Successful brands will not only take notice, but also discover ways to speak creatively and strategically to the individual — rather than simply categorize individuals as part of a group.Here are four trends that harness the power of the individual to create greater engagement between consumers and brands....
Jeff Domansky's insight:
Taking into account the individual preferences of the target audience is key for marketers today
...On the other hand, this seems like a strange time to be accepting a supporting role for PR. The things that PR has always been about—transparency, authenticity, credibility, engagement, conversation—are at the heart of successful marketing today, and that ought to create an opportunity for campaigns that are driven by a PR idea to win big at Cannes.
We certainly should not be looking at narrowing the definition of public relations to ensure that the winners all feel like "real" PR campaigns....
Jeff Domansky's insight:
Paul Holmes suggests we shouldn't be so hung up on the definition of PR much as the principles behind doing it right.
How much is your customer worth?
One approach would be to re-focus acquisition strategy based on the Customer Lifetime Value or CLV. According to the 2015 RJ Metrics Benchmark report, a new e-commerce customer is worth, on average, $154 in their first year. This number varies by type of retail. For instance, the categories of housewares, food and drugs tend to be above this average.
What is more interesting is that only 32 percent of these new customers are likely to make a second purchase in their first year. The report also reveals that the top 1 percent of customers are worth 18 times more than the average customer, which equals about $2,772.
Armed with this information, an e-tailer can easily calculate ROI on programs targeting new customers vs. programs targeting your biggest fans—the top 5 percent....
Jeff Domansky's insight:
Ultimately, people will not remember how they chose your product or where they bought it, but they will remember how it made them feel. what' your CLV?

I'm a bit embarrassed to share my early Pinterest Pins. But here they are anyway.
A pin loaded with hashtags, a really odd-sized image, an image with a one-word description, a Pin with no description at all.I've made a lot of mistakes with Pinterest, both in the Pins I've created and in the strategies and plans I've set forth. And I've come to discover that Pinterest is wholly unique from Twitter and Facebook, and that I've had things quite wrong from the start.

Content marketing is hard. But it doesn't have to be boring.Lately I've been trying my hand at testing smart little tactics — or what I call "hacks" — to get better results out of the content marketing strategy I oversee. And I've been amazed at what tiny, innovative tests can do to drive some serious results. Plus, it's pretty fun!
I was first inspired by researching the idea of "growth hacking" for a presentation I've done at a couple of conferences called, in short, "Hacking Human" … which doesn't involve body parts and machetes, I swear. The gist of it is that marketers can optimize their content for what humans want and are looking for online, and then use growth hacking principles to test their assumptions and get the most out of their efforts....

Headlines are important. Up to 80% of people may not even read your post if you don't have a powerful headline that grabs people's attention.
It's the first impression your readers have and it will dictate whether or not they keep on reading.
In essence, your title has to pique a reader's curiosity enough for them to want to know more about it.In fact your headline alone can be responsible for up to a 500% difference in your traffic – that's viral.
So, even though you have the greatest blog post there is, if your headline doesn't convey how awesome your post is, no one will read your content....

The omnichannel experience isn't just a marketing strategy — it represents a fundamental shift of the consumer's position in the traditional purchasing process. Omnichannel enables the customer or the client to choose how they want to interact with a company or product line without having to compromise the quality of their interaction.
A successful omnichannel retailer is less concerned with a broad, multi-channel marketing campaign and focuses instead on creating a seamless media experience for customers engaging with their brand.The key here lies in an ability to allow your brand to proliferate across every channel.
According toMarketo, one of the leaders in automated marketing software, "Each piece of the consumer's experience should be consistent and complementary."
Whether a customer is visiting the store, making a purchase through a mobile app, or liking a photo on Instagram, they must be able to engage your brand in a way that is both seamless and effortless, regardless of the device or channel....

There's no question that the Internet, social media, and digital technologies have changed the business landscape and the manner in which it operates. From the way business communicates with – and advertises to – consumers to how it conducts market research, and from the manner in which it hires new employees to how those employees are managed, today's business blueprint is significantly different that it was just 15 years ago.
But is change always a good thing? The Internet has provided smaller businesses the opportunity to compete with larger brands and has certainly provided a more direct and meaningful exchange with a business's audience. But are we becoming too focused on the technology of the day? Are we forgetting the basics of marketing?...

Indicator Report - Homicide
Why Is This Important?From 2007 to 2011, Utah's age-adjusted homicide rate was 1.9 per 100,000 persons. This is an average of 52 homicides per year. Although Utah has one of the lowest age-adjusted homicide rates in the U.S., infants (less than 1 year) have the highest homicide rate compared to other age groups in Utah. It is the fourth leading cause of death for Utahns ages 1 to 4 and 15 to 24 years old.
Death by homicide takes an enormous toll on the mental and physical well-being of family members, friends, neighbors, and co-workers of the victim. The trauma, grief, and bereavement experienced by these individuals have long-lasting impacts that affect many aspects of their lives.
Data NotesHomicides are determined by using ICD-10 codes X85-X99, Y00-Y09, Y87.1, U01-U02. *Use caution in interpreting, the estimate has a relative standard error greater than 30% and does not meet UDOH standards for reliability.
**The estimate has been suppressed because 1) the relative standard error is greater than 50% or when the relative standard error can't be determined, 2) the observed number of events is very small and not appropriate for publication, or 3) it could be used to calculate the number in a cell that has been suppressed.

Septic Inspection Answers
- What is a septic system?
A septic system is a sewage treatment system. The system is installed on properties that are not connected to a public sewer.
Septic systems have three main parts: a holding tank, distribution pipes, and a drainfield.
Human waste is broken down into liquids and solids in the holding tank. The liquid moves through the distribution pipes and is released into the drainfield though tiny holes in the pipes. The drainfield is an area of stone and dirt where a natural bacterial action completes the liquid waste treatment process.
To maintain the system, the solid wastes that have remained in the holding tank must be pumped out from time to time by a service professional.
- What is a septic certification?
A septic certification is a written document stating that an onsite sewage disposal system has been inspected and found to be in satisfactory condition according to established standards. It identifies the approximate location, size and configuration of the system components. It is not a warranty that the system will function properly over a period of time in the future.
- What should I know when buying a house with a septic system?
It's a good idea to clarify whether the home is hooked to a public sewer or if it uses a septic system. In most states, sellers are required to disclose a septic system. But, they may not disclose much about the condition of the system, unless you ask.
If a septic system exists, find out as much information as you can about the system. Here are some questions to ask the current owners:
- How old is the system?
Most systems that have been property maintained last about 25 years.
- How has the system been maintained?
Find out if the system has been pumped regularly and about any repairs that have been made. You can also ask the sellers for the name and phone number of their septic system service. Call the service and ask how the system has been maintained and if any problems exist.
- What is the water capacity?
Septic systems have a maximum water capacity. If your water usage is greater than the usage that the septic system is designed to handle, you'll have to consider cutting back on water use or upgrading the septic system.
- Is it up to code?
Septic systems must meet strict codes to comply with environmental safety and health standards. These codes have become more stringent in recent years. So, a septic system installed to code years ago may now require an upgrade to meet current requirements.
If the septic system needs an upgrade, it's best to know before closing and to negotiate the upgrade as part of the sale. A motivated seller might be willing to give you a monetary credit to pay for the upgrade. Or, the seller may be willing to upgrade the septic system as a contingency of the sale.
- How old is the system?
- Do I need a septic system inspection?
It's in your best interest to have the system inspected by a professional inspector, even if you are hiring a home inspector. A home inspector will assess the condition of visible plumbing in the home, but will not conduct a detailed assessment of the septic system itself.
- What is involved in a septic inspection?
Most inspectors routinely conduct a dye test. This involves injecting a fluorescent dye into the septic system. If the dye shows up on the surface of the ground above the drainfield, the septic system is failing.
You should also ask for an "open pit test." This test involves pumping out the tank and removing the dirt that covers the top of the tank and distribution line. Mirrors or video cameras are then lowered into the tank so that it can be thoroughly inspected. At a cost of about $600, this test isn't cheap. But, it's the only way to determine the condition of the holding tank. Since a new septic system can run as much as $15,000, this test is worth the cost.
While the inspector is onsite, also ask if the septic system meets current code requirements. And, be sure to discuss your water usage needs to determine if the system is up to the task.
- What causes septic system failure?
Septic systems fail for many reasons. Sometimes a system fails because the tank simply needs to be pumped out. Other failures are more complicated and costly. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sites these common reasons for septic system failure:
- the septic tank is not big enough
- the drainfield is not big enough
- the drainfield is not leveled properly
- the system has been installed in unsuitable soil
- the drainfield has been paved or has become hard-packed
- seasonal ground table water is high
- surface drainage does not drain from the drainfield
- tree roots have interfered with the system
- water softeners, water purification systems, and/or garbage disposals have interfered with the system
- Is my health at risk if my septic system fails?
A failed septic system is considered an environmental hazard because untreated wastewater harbors harmful viruses and bacteria that can contaminate well and ground water supplies. So, it's wise to have your septic system evaluated by a professional every three years.
If you allow your system to operate in a failure mode, your state's health department can shut your system down. You can also be held responsible under state and federal laws if your system is the cause of contamination. And, it's likely that you'll have to pay for a costly clean up.
- How much does a septic inspection cost?
Prices range from $400 to $600 depending on factors such as location and ease of access.
- Who pays for the septic inspection?
The seller usually pays for the inspection.

Hi Xantor
Can you recall what the problems you found were-and why they were significant? Yoda has worked fine for me since I fixed the cr2 and sent it back to Richard prior to your testing it.
It seemed to stall at this point
" Xantor Wrote: "
RDUDA: Did I send you the file? If not MP me your e-mail and I'll send it over Smile
Xantor: You already did send me the file to test.
I fixed the head rotation, but as I said earlier the neck and the wrongly grouped polygons are much more difficult to fix. Sad
I can`t easily fix the wrong grouping without wasting the morphs that have been added to the figure.
If the figure was remapped in a more standard way, it would be fairly easy to fix the groups in uvmapper, without it affecting the morphs."
I guess I'm asking why these are show stoppers-since it apparently is a working figure-that looks great? I have no issues with head rotation-so I'm not sure what you fixed? Can you remember? Should we ask Richard to post it to Scifi3d? Are these issues in Daz and not Poser (which I use0?
The rotate x,y and z can be renamed to twist side to side etc.

Why else would Bram Stoker make both of Dracula's principal victims beautiful young women? HBO knew this when producing their well-regarded serial, True Blood, which shows Anna Paquin to much better advantage than any of her previous work. Even the Twilight series author knew this in writing her PG-13 level teenage fantasy.
So, I thought, why has there never been a porn vampire flick? Or at least one with any notoriety? A little research discloses that, even if there had been none previously, the Twilight series has "inspired" a porn parody: This Isn't Twilight: The XXX Parody, starring Jenna Haze. Anyone seen it?
Charis Wilson has died. If you don't know the name, you've not been reading this blog very long. Or been in photography long. The NY Times obituary says it all.

Looking forward to trying Jerry's old screen pictured above
I fear, it may not do what I want, but hey what the heck.
For some data, I'm 6'1", 32" inseam so I have a long torso. Currently, I have the standard screen on my bike with the adjusters. I found the adjusters pretty much useless for me since the only setting is the lowest that keeps the buffeting down. Otherwise, I find it acceptable. Frankly, it's the best stock set up I've ever had. It is, however very LOUD.
I don't want to end up with a big barn door like a madstad, but I may end up there. Then again, once I see the calsci on my bike, I just may conclude that I just put what I didn't want on my bike! The dreaded barn door! Doesn't look toooo bad in photos though, but we'll see live and in person

Great product and LOVE the colorless option. I use it daily in my practice and my clients love it too.
Great product! Small town farm community. Patients take full advantage of this product in their every day busy lives.
I have used BioFreeze for 15 yrs. I use it on almost everyone of my clients as I massage them. Then I give it to my clients to use for any of their muscle aches, arthritis pain, and also for sinus pain at their forehead and temple areas. Now that there is the colorless, I like it even more.
I love the new colorless version. This does not stain the skin, clothes or sheets and works just as well as the original. I only wish they would come out with an odorless version but with menthol that's probably not possible. No customer complaints with this product to releive muscle pain.
I buy BioFreeze for my mom and me. We have been using it for serveal years. It works great on our pain. I use it after a good workout. You can really feel the tingling when you first apply it. We like using the roll on biofreeze. Great product.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration requires that MSDS be available to employees for potentially harmful substances handled in the workplace under the Hazard Communication regulation.

The Wilson Building
The restoration of the Wilson building, together with the Crescent Apartment building in the historic Hamnett Place neighborhood represent one of the largest restoration projects in Wilkinsburg.
The Wilson, along with the Crescent, scheduled for completion in late fall 2011 will bring 27 new units of affordable housing back to Wilkinsburg, with four units in the Wilson building and 23 in the Crescent Apartments.
Both buildings were highlighted as essential components of the rejuvenation of the borough in the Wilkinsburg Neighborhood Transformation Initiative (WNTI), a planning document, which had significant input from local residents, Wilkinsburg stakeholders, borough government, and the Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation.
Located at key locations in the Hamnett neighborhood, both buildings will serve as a beachhead of strength, and will promote further economic development and restoration activities throughout the neighborhood.
The project will include development features such as an on-site community room, an on-site computer facility, an on-site management office, laundry room, storage rooms for tenants, internet accessibility in all units, energy star appliances, and supportive services offered on-site and off-site by Hosanna House.
This $8.6 million restoration project would not have been possible without the support of numerous funders including the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency, PNC Bank, Allegheny County Economic Development, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County Supportive Services.

LIMA � The Dan Beck for Mayor campaign posted online the first of three interviews Tuesday with Jesse Lowe II and Beck.
The seven minute YouTube video features Lowe, founder of Drugs Bring Death and now a candidate in his own right for 3rd Ward City Councilor, and Beck. Lowe interviews Beck about his vision of improving the city�s safety to improve its business climate and increase jobs.
The campaign wants to use the YouTube videos as a place to go more in-depth on issues, Beck said.
Beck wouldn�t say if Lowe is a supporter, but said Lowe was asked to do the interview and Lowe came up with his own questions he believed the public would like answers to.
In the video, Lowe asks questions about crime-fighting and code enforcement policy. The Drugs Bring Death logo appears on the screen at the same time as Beck�s campaign logo.
�People come to me all the time and say, if Dan makes it in, or when Dan makes it in, what improvements can he make as far as safety?� Lowe says.
Beck, who served as Allen County sheriff for 16 years, advocates reassigning some officers currently working undercover in the anti-drug crime task force to uniform work in high-crime neighborhoods.
�They can go back to the neighborhoods when the crime is most prevalent, from between 6 to 8 p.m. and 3 or 4 a.m.,� Beck says. �They need to talk to the people in the neighborhoods. There is so much intimidation in the innercity that the good law-abiding citizens are afraid to report crime.�
Beck said he could implement the plan even if he and a police chief disagreed.
�We're all accountable to someone. Even though the chief is a civil service position, I think he would be accountable to the mayor. The mayor can set goals and objectives for him,� Beck said. �I think we'd both want the same thing, a safer community.�

CVS refusing to sell 'Rolling Stone' Boston Bomber issue
Rolling Stone's latest issue is causing a lot of controversy -- featured on the cover of the August issue is a close-up photo of the alleged Boston bombing suspect, Dzhohkar Tsarnaev. While the magazine hits newsstands on Friday (July 19), some places won't be selling it at all.
On Wednesday (July 17), CVS announced that its stores will not sell or promote the Tsarnaev cover. In a statement from the company, representatives said they couldn't support Rolling Stone. "CVS/pharmacy has decided not to sell the current issue of Rolling Stone featuring a cover photo of the Boston Marathon bombing suspect," the statement said. "As a company with deep roots in New England and a strong presence in Boston, we believe this is the right decision out of respect for the victims of the attack and their loved ones."
The cover photo sparked controversy and a brutal social media backlash when a preview debuted Tuesday (July 16) because many thought it was extremely similar to a photo spread of Jim Morrison and made Tsarnaev out to look like a rock star.
Rolling Stone responded publicly to criticism over the cover photo and reports of boycotts later on Wednesday (July 17). "The cover story we are publishing this week falls within the traditions of journalism and Rolling Stone's longstanding commitment to serious and thoughtful coverage," the publication said in a statement. "The fact that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is young, and in the same age group as many of our readers, makes it all the more important for us to examine the complexities of this issue and gain a more complete understanding of how a tragedy like this happens."
The cover story -- of which the photo is an instagrammed selfie of Tsarnaev -- is a "riveting account" of the suspect's life in Cambridge and Boston. According to the magazine's editorial staff, the cover is meant to highlight a "deeply reported account of the life and times of Boston bomber Jahar Tsarnaev," with two months worth of detailed reporting and commentary from the suspect's childhood friends and former classmates, as well as teachers, neighbors, and law enforcement agents.

THE president of the Congress of Labor and Brotherhood (Contraf), Dominic Bicamumpaka, has called on the government and developing partners to come up with mechanisms of sensitizing employees on their rights.
He said employers are exploiting workers because of ignorance of the latter's rights and freedom.
Bicamumpaka made the remarks during a one-day training for employees and employers from various organisations, the Private Sector Federation (PSF), Trade Unions and the Ministry of Labour, among others.
"There should be a clear and stipulated mechanism that will enable workers to learn about their rights, especially regarding the labour law; know when and where to report if offended," said Bicamumpaka.
Employees who spoke to The New Times during the training said that among other challenges, they were exploited in terms of working for many hours without considering allowances while others noted that even when they feel like reporting certain cases, they are afraid.
Ben Dia Said, a Senior Worker's Education Specialist, and board member of the International Labor Organization (ILO) said training programmes should be designed to strengthen and build on government policies.

It seems not all of Bernie Madoff's investments have been crippled by inflated promises and nonexistent profit. His opening day Mets' tickets earned a 614 percent return, selling for $7500 for the pair.
From CNBC:
"Bernie Madoff's two tickets for Opening Day at the Mets new stadium Citi Field have sold on eBay for $7,500.
The tickets for Monday's game in the Delta Club Platinum level were auctioned off by trustee Irving Picard.
The tickets might have been Madoff's best investment yet. The face value of the tickets are $525 each, meaning the trustee's return on investment was 614 percent.
But that profit of course represents only a small percentage of money that will eventually be seen by investors who lost so much in the ponzi scheme.
It appears as though the tickets themselves had a premium value associated with it because of Madoff's name. A pair of two tickets near the Madoff seats can be had on StubHub for less than $2,000." more at CNBC.com

Half-sisters Renuka Shinde and Seema Gavit, set to become the first women to be hanged in India, and their late mother were thieves who kidnapped children, used them to divert public attention, and murdered at least five of them, including one by banging his head against an electric pole.
Charged along with their mother Anjana with the kidnapping of 13 children and the murder of 10 of them, they were convicted by the Supreme Court in 2006 of five of those murders besides the kidnappings. Last week, President Pranab Mukherjee rejected their mercy petition.
According to the sisters' defence counsel, the murders had been committed by their mother, who died two years after their arrest in 1996.
The reason for kidnapping the children was to take them to crowded places where one of them would try to pick people's belongings. If the thief was caught, the person carrying it would either try to evoke sympathy through the child, or create a distraction by hurting it. According to one of the instances cited by the prosecution, Anjana flung kidnapped toddler Santosh to the ground when Seema had been caught trying to snatch a purse. It gave him a head injury but the sight of the bleeding baby created enough of a commotion to allow Seema to flee.
Santosh eventually became the victim of the first of the murders for which they would be convicted. To stop him crying, Anjana banged his head against an electric pole. They disposed of his body near an old rickshaw heap.
Their victims varied from a daughter of Anjana's former husband to a beggar's baby. The police described how, in Thane, Renuka took a beggar's child in her arms and gave her money to buy milk for the child, then slipped away after she left. This child would later be abandoned at a temple.
"They very cleverly executed their plans of kidnapping the children and the moment they were no longer useful, they killed them," a bench of K G Balakrishnan and G P Mathur observed while confirming the death penalty. "They had been a menace to the society and the people in these cities were completely horrified and they could not send their children even to schools. The appellants had not been committing these crimes under any compulsion but they took it very casually and killed all these children least bothering about their lives or agony of their parents."
Lives in crime
Renuka is now in her late forties and Seema in her late thirties. Their mother, who died soon after their arrests in 1996, hailed from Nashik and, according to the prosecution, fled to Pune with a truck driver, who deserted her soon after Renuka was born. "We don't know how she survived but she must have done it by stealing. That's the only …continued »

Arsene Wenger has received a timely injury boost with the return of defensive duo Laurent Koscielny and Johan Djourou for the weekend visit of Sunderland.
The Gunners have endured somewhat of a crisis at the back, having been forced to deploy central midfielder Alex Song at the heart of defence in recent weeks.
Koscielny had been sidelined with an ankle problem, while Djourou suffered from a muscular strain, meaning both players missed the UEFA Champions League win against Olympiacos, and the north London derby defeat to Tottenham.
Both players have now completed their rehabilitation, and are away on international duty with France and Switzerland respectively - but neither were risked in Friday's Euro 2012 qualifiers.
Djourou was suspended for Switzerland's 2-0 defeat against Wales, while Koscielny was an unused substitute for Les Bleus, but both are available for selection in tonight's final round of qualification fixtures.
The return to fitness of Djourou and Koscielny, along with Sebastien Squillaci, will add much needed strength and depth to the Arsenal squad, as they look to kick-start their season when they resume their Barclays Premier League campaign against the Black Cats at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

Balance is one of my favorite blends from doTERRA. It creates a sense of…well, Balance! It is a Grounding Blend. The properties alone are very grounding in nature but imagine standing in the middle of a forest. That is what Balance smells like. I love to use Balance on myself when things feel a little off and also on my children when they are having a rough time emotionally or when things seem bigger than they actually are.
This is a favorite recommendation for others that struggle with anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, and other emotional difficulties.
Balance is a blend of Spruce, Rosewood, Blue Tansy, Frankincense, and Fractionated Coconut Oil.
The primary uses for Balance are:
- Anxiety
- Back Pain
- Balance
- Brain Integration
- Bursitis
- Coma
- Confusion
- Convulsions
- Depression
- Diabetic Sores
- Energy
- Fear
- Grief/Sorrow
- Herniated Discs
- Hot Flashes
- Hyperactivity
- Jet Lag
- Lou Gehrig's Disease
- Lupus
- Mood Swings
- Parkinson's Disease
- Seizure
This blend is great to diffuse aromatically or to apply topically to the feet, heart, wrists, and back of the neck. Â It is best to apply on the left side of the body with the right hand, and the right side of the body with the left hand. This blend can also be worn as a cologne or perfume. I like to combine it with Lime and use as deodorant.

Late summer here in Montana means you need to start locking your vehicle…
someone might fill it with zucchini.
My one plant has been going insane, yet I have managed to use it all… A few weeks ago I made 8, 1/2 pints of chili zucchini relish that I imagine will be delicious on a sausage, or in some tuna salad in the middle of the winter.
This Roasted Garlic and Zucchini Bisque the most delicious zucchini dish I have had to this day (except for maybe my zucchini lasagna which is a favorite around this house.) It is incredibly creamy without adding any dairy thanks to my wonderful vitamix blender and soaked raw cashews.
This is a nice recipe to transition into fall with. If you have time, throw some cherry tomatoes and coconut oil in the oven to roast while you prepare the bowls of soup. Once they are roasted, pull them out, season with salt and pepper, place on top of the bisque and garnish with more black pepper and fresh basil.
- 2½ lbs zucchini, cut into one inch pieces
- 1 leek, chopped
- ½ yellow onion, chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, peeled
- 2 TBS coconut oil, melted
- ½ cup raw cashews, soaked for at least 3 hours
- 2½ cups filtered water
- salt and pepper to taste
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place zucchini, leek, onion, and garlic on a cookie sheet lined with unbleached parchment paper and drizzle with coconut oil.
- Roast for 20 minutes.
- Transfer to the blender, add cashews and filtered water.
- Blend until super-creamy
- Transfer to a large pot and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- If desired, top with roasted cherry tomatoes and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil(caramelized garlic olive oil is wonderful) and some fresh cracked black pepper.

Cubs' Jason Hammel sore but confident he'll make next startContinue reading.
Cubs' Jason Hammel the next Carlos Beltran? All-Star one day, gone the next?
WASHINGTON – Could the Cubs be the only team without an All-Star in Minnesota on July 15?
If Jason Hammel winds up as the Cubs' mandatory selection Sunday, it's not out of the question.
Hammel, who earned his team-leading eighth victory by beating the Washington Nationals 7-2 on Friday, could become the first player since Carlos Beltran in 2004 to win an All-Star spot with one team and get traded to another before the game.
That year, Beltran was traded by the Kansas City Royals out of the American League to the Houston Astros on June 24 while positioned among the top three AL outfielders in fan voting. He was elected to the starting lineup even though he was no longer in the league.
First baseman Ken Harvey wound up representing the Royals in the game; and Beltran was an injury replacement for Cincinnati's Ken Griffey Jr. on the NL squad.
One of the more consistent pitchers in the National League this year Hammel (8-5, 2.98 ERA) pitched another strong six innings Friday to beat the Nationals for the second time in eight days.
At least one mock All-Star selection by a national publication had Hammel on its NL roster.
Meanwhile, at least a half-dozen teams eyeing starting pitching have Hammel in their sights for a trade this month.
Seattle, which could be a front-runner for the big right-hander, had former big-league pitcher Pete Vuckovich, a special assistant to the Mariners general manager, watching Hammel Friday – along with scouts from the San Francisco Giants, Los Angeles Angels, Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays.
The New York Yankees, who learned this week that C.C. Sabathia's knee injury could keep him sidelined all season, are also expected to ramp up efforts to land a starting pitcher this month.
Most of the teams in on Hammel want to strike a deal well before the deadline and get as many starts out of the rent-a-pitcher as possible for the price they'll pay. It was a year ago this week the Cubs traded 2013 flip guy Scott Feldman (with Steve Clevenger) to the Orioles for Jake Arrieta and Pedro Strop.
Hammel is next scheduled to pitch Wednesday in Cincinnati, which would be his last start before the All-Star Game, if not as a Cub — if he gets that far.
If he makes the All-Star team then gets traded in the final days before July 15, and the Cubs don't have another selection, it could leave officials scrambling to add a Cub. Then, again …

Pretty Little Liars Speculation: What Could the Season 3 Alison "Twist" Be?
Sasha Pieterse (Alison DiLaurentis) recently said that there is a "crazy" twist coming up on Pretty Little Liars Season 3 involving Alison, and it's something the fans don't know about. We're all for surprises on PLL, but we can't help guessing what this shocker might be. Here are some possibilities.
Alison's twin is in town. We know that a girl who looks exactly like Alison was murdered. In the PLL books, we find out that the girl who Aria (Lucy Hale), Spencer (Troian Bellisario), Emily (Shay Mitchell), and Hanna (Ashley Benson) know as Ali is actually Courtney DiLaurentis, Ali's insane twin. Ali murders Courtney, and then stayed out of sight. Now that we know the show is following the books at least in terms of "A"'s identity (Mona Vanderwaal [Janel Parrish], at first), isn't it possible that they will use the twin storyline as well?
Alison is still alive. Leaving out the twin theory, and assuming that the murdered girl is not Alison, it's plausible that all of the dreams, hallucinations, and visions of Alison that Emily and Spencer have had were not just dreams. What if they were real? Sasha has said in the past that Alison protects the Little Liars. Maybe she's kept them out of harm's way this whole time.
Alison is related to the Hastings, too. Jason (Drew Van Acker) revealed that his real father is Mr. Hastings. Somehow, Alison found out about this, but how? And if both families were able to keep Jason's real parentage a secret for so long, who's to say they weren't keeping Alison's real background a secret too? Remember: we know practically nothing about Alison's father, and for a show so involved with father-daughter relationships, that seems like a big void worth exploring.
Alison is either the Black Swan or the blonde in the red dress from the masquerade party. With her Vivian Darkbloom wig, she could have possibly been the Black Swan who ran away from the girls at the ball. With her blonde hair, she could be the blonde who stopped by the ball, and was also seen in the last shot of the Season 2 finale as Maya's body was wheeled away.
What do you think of these theories? Tell us in the comments, or share your own!
Catch an all-new Pretty Little Liars when Season 3 premieres on Tuesday, June 5 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC Family.

Incumbent Sag Harbor Mayor Brian Gilbride celebrates with granddaughter Kasey after winning a third term as mayor Tuesday night.
By Kathryn G. Menu
Sag Harbor Mayor Brian Gilbride was elected to a third, two-year term Tuesday night, narrowly defeating former village clerk Sandra Schroeder by just 11 votes in what has been one of the more contentious political races in recent memory.
Ed Deyermond, a former village mayor and trustee, was easily elected to a two-year term on the village board, as was Ken O'Donnell, a local businessman and newcomer to the political arena.
Gilbride won the mayoral race with a total of 179 votes. Schroeder, a long time village clerk and administrator who entered politics for the first time this year, earned a total of 168 votes. Bruce Tait, a local businessman and chairman of the village's Harbor Committee, placed third in the four-way mayoral contest with 142 votes, followed by former mayor Pierce Hance, who earned 85 votes Tuesday night.
Deyermond was the frontrunner in the trustee race taking 363 votes, followed by O'Donnell, the owner of Sag Harbor's La Superica, who captured 336 votes to oust longtime village trustee Ed Gregory from the board.
Gregory, seeking a 13th, non consecutive, term on the village board and running alongside Gilbride with the Sag Harbor Party, earned 240 votes, followed by former village board member Bruce Stafford — voted off the board last year — who finished with 139 votes.
According to village clerk Beth Kamper, 579 voters turned out Tuesday night or handed in absentee ballots out of 1,804 registered voters in Sag Harbor. That comprises roughly 31 percent of the voting populace.
By comparison, during the 2009 mayoral race when Gilbride was first elected into office over zoning board of appeals chairman Michael Bromberg and local attorney and activist Jim Henry, 731 voters cast ballots. In the uncontested mayoral race in 2011, just 63 voters voted.
On Tuesday night, the mood at the Brick Kiln Road fire house was tense as the results were read first for ballots cast that day, giving Gilbride a 12-vote lead over Schroeder, who was able to cut that lead by one vote once the absentee ballots were accounted for.
Gilbride was surrounded by family when his victory was announced including two grandchildren — Tyler and Kasey.
Gilbride first credited Gregory for his many years of service on the village board.
On Wednesday, Gregory said he will remain an active member of the community.
"I will probably stay away for a little while and let the new fellow get his feet wet, but I will be active in what is going on," he said. "I have always enjoyed being a part of the board and understanding what is going on in the village."
Stafford declined comment Tuesday night.
"The people in the village spoke," said Gilbride.
"We will continue to move forward and I am glad this day is over."
Gilbride also credited the Conservative Party for supporting him in the election, specifically Ed Walsh, Southampton Town Board member and Conservative Party member Jim Malone and Jeremy Brandt, the vice chairman of the Southampton Town Conservative Party who was at the firehouse personally to hear the results.
"We're thrilled," said Brandt. "There are not many guys that would take on a municipal union like the PBA during an election year."
Gilbride has taken the lead in negotiations with Sag Harbor's Patrolman's Benevolent Association (PBA), a negotiation that stalled and recently entered binding arbitration. Officers in the department have been working without a contract for two years. One of 12 officers employed in the department alongside Chief Thomas Fabiano left the department last year. His position was not filled in the 2013-2014 budget and a second officer's position was cut in an effort, Gilbride says, to keep the department's costs at bay — in particular escalating retirement and medical insurance costs. He has also maintained he believes Sag Harbor Village, at two-square-miles, can fully man its police department with 10 officers and the chief, despite protests from the latter.
"I got a lot of calls today from other elected officials because we kind of got together a few years ago and agreed on certain things and I happen to be the first one out of the box," said Gilbride, confirming he was talking about the PBA contract negotiation.
"Am I determined and a pretty tough negotiator, I would say I am," said Gilbride, who added this would be the last term he would seek as mayor. "But I represent the people in the village."
Schroeder said she expected a much higher turnout.
"I really thought a mayoral race would have brought many more people out tonight," she said.
Tait agreed.
"I was surprised at the poor voter turnout," he said from Newport, Rhode Island, where he flew to Wednesday morning.
"I will keep pushing hard on the issues," said Tait, noting drainage, storm water runoff and the future of Long Wharf will be issues he follows closely from his position at the helm of the Harbor Committee.
"We split up the opposition to Brian three ways and he has a basic core of supporters," said Hance, summing up his views on why the election played out like it did.
Hance, a regular attendee and speaker at village board meetings, promised to stay involved and work on issues like drainage on Howard, Spring and Garden streets and police contract negotiations, but said his career in politics was likely over.
"My time has probably passed and I do have other things I need to do," said Hance on Wednesday.
He added he has hope the addition of Deyermond and O'Donnell to the village board will help create balance and perhaps even a majority voice on the board should they find common ground with another member of the board.
Deyermond and O'Donnell said in separate interviews they are both eager to get to work.
"I am very humbled by the margin of votes in my favor, but now the hard work begins," said Deyermond Tuesday night. "I am not going to say I am used to it, but I have been there and I have done that and I am looking forward to getting back on the board.
Deyermond said what the addition of himself and O'Donnell does to the village board remains to be seen, but meetings were being scheduled and he looked forward to bringing issues to the table.
"I am very appreciative of the turnout and all the support the residence of Sag Harbor have given me," said O'Donnell on Wednesday.
O'Donnell added he was excited to see the village board become one made of different people with very different backgrounds.
"I honestly think the village did an awesome job of electing people with varying views, backgrounds and life experiences," said O'Donnell. "It's a diverse group, and I think that is great. It will force us all to look at the issues through different lenses. That is the way politics is suppose to be and we will have to get along to move things forward."
