Yet another would-be vote-catching scheme has emerged from No 10, less offensive than other recent emissions, it's true, but just as ill-thought-out and just as desperately manic.
Mr Brown says Labour's election manifesto will include plans to force every young person to complete 50 hours of compulsory voluntary community work before the age of 19 (report, 13 April). This, of course, begs the question: "How can work be voluntary if you are forced to do it by law?" In this context, voluntary obviously means unpaid.
But, in the unlikely event of Labour returning to power, they would not be able to enforce this across the whole of the UK. Mr Brown always claims to speak for Britain when making pronouncements of this kind but, as he well knows, when it comes to education and training, he has no jurisdiction over Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland. It would appear that only English youngsters would be enslaved under this silly scheme, and it is dishonest of Mr Brown to continue with the fiction that he is speaking for the whole of the UK in this.
There may be a good case for introducing some form of compulsory "national service" for our young people but important decisions such as this should be reached only after wide-ranging consultation and debate, and not thought up on the spur of the moment, in a backroom at No 10, to provide the PM's next soundbite.

How absurd. Our Scottish Prime Minister is proposing to make our English children do 50 hours "voluntary" work through the National Youth Service.
Only English children will be affected. Maybe he's planning to use them to clean Scottish chimneys?

Political parties should pay aides
What disgusts me most about the abhorrent antics of the disgraced Prime Ministerial aide Damian McBride (report, 13 April) is that he was being paid from the public purse. How can it be that someone working apparently solely for party-political purposes is paid for by us and uses public resources?
Apart from the media, who monitors, audits or oversees the activities of such people? Shouldn't they be paid by their own party and, if not, be accountable to the country in some way since they are essentially public servants? Knowing they receive only party political funding would at least soften the blow when their inappropriate activities are exposed.
On the radio, the Health Secretary, Alan Johnson, defended the robust way the McBride affair was handled. He ignored the central point that this was not just politics, since Mr McBride was paid from the public purse, that being an aide to Gordon Brown also raises questions about how well he monitors and handles those who work in his name and why McBride thought it acceptable to do what he did.
For different reasons, I think David Cameron is right to demand an apology from the PM. Gordon Brown should apologise to us, the people, for failings in a public servant directly under his management whom he failed to control.
Laurence Williams
THETFORD, Norfolk
Recent events have shown that politicians fail to understand how we see them, they have little idea of our day-to-day concerns and worries, and can't see the gulf opening between them and us. But what is even more dispiriting than all this about the McBride business is its tribalism. Scoring points over electoral – not necessarily ideological – opponents is to politicians more important than the interests of the country.
They piously claim that they are there to make a difference to us, their electorate. But at a time when consensus – or at least conversation – between political idealists is the least we can expect, when a national sharing of views will reflect our shared crises and troubles, our "leaders" concentrate more on confrontation and on infantile contempt of others.
It's not about what's best for the country, for us, it's about what's best for the politicians' own egos and futures. Altruistic and public-spirited? No. Selfish and power-hungry. That's the way it looks.

While the slurs are reprehensible, patently without foundation and totally fabricated, it is equally as interesting to question how the emails "jumped" from a trusted coterie of Labour insiders to the right-wing Guido Fawkes. Guido knows, the email he received will have the sender's ID on it. Can we now be told how he got it?

The most shocking thing about the Damian McBride affair is that I'm not shocked.

The nanny state is now a bully state
A vulnerable man ambling home with his hands in his pockets is thumped in the back and sent sprawling by a policeman, masked and armed with a baton (letters, 13 April). The nanny state has become the bully state, not just for poor Ian Tomlinson but for the rest of us.
In New Labour's paranoid view of the world, we are all potential terrorists or criminals to be "kettled" into a zone where we can be watched, managed and neutralised.
Let's hope that film of Mr Tomlinson's humiliation turns out to the tipping-point at which ordinary citizens began to take control, not just of the police but of all the agents of the state, who should be our servants, not our masters.
Jeremy Walker
London WC1
If the officer who appears to strike Mr Tomlinson from behind in the G20 protest footage felt confident he was doing the right thing, it is important to understand why he felt obliged to remove the personal identification strip from his outer clothing and pull the face mask over his mouth and – perhaps more to the point – why did no senior officer appear to notice or take appropriate action?
It seems there was no riot in progress or other pressing business that might explain this failure, in the face of which it is difficult to escape the conclusion that, far from an error, these acts were part of a predetermined plan executed with the full knowledge of senior officers and, more importantly, politicians from the Home Secretary downwards.
Jon P Baker
Last month, I stopped at the police memorial near Horse Guards, London, where the names of officers killed on duty are recorded, with outlines of the circumstances of each fatality. Has the time come to set up a memorial to those whose deaths are associated with police action, such as death in custody or mistaken identity or just being in the wrong place at the wrong time?
The names would be listed with a brief description of the police action associated with that death. It would be a useful place for the families of the innocent, such as those of Jean Charles de Menezes and Ian Tomlinson, to come together. If an appropriate human rights organisation were to sponsor such a memorial, I would be happy to donate.

Will Obama keep Armenian pledge?
The Venezuelan President, Hugo Chavez, recently suggested that Barack Obama has a "stench" of George Bush about him and all the signs so far, culminating in his visit to Turkey, indicate Mr Chavez may well be correct.
In the first instance, the new President approved the continued use of rendition. So far so bad. On the Gaza atrocities, Mr Obama was quick to "blame the victims" as so many before him have done , by suggesting that Hamas was at fault for the disproportionate slaughter inflicted upon the Palestinians by the Israelis.
In Turkey, the President who spoke so unequivocally about the Armenian genocide before his election, fudged the issue in the live debate in Istanbul. Worse, by invoking the tried and tested deflective mechanism of the Turkish state, in suggesting that the issue of the Armenian genocide is a matter best left to the historians, President Obama has made a first step into the camp of the denialists.
As Robert Fisk pointed out (Comment, 6 April), Mr Obama will find it far more difficult to skirt the issue on 24 April when Armenians across the globe will be expecting him to fulfil his campaign promise and remember the Armenian genocide by its correct terminology.

Electric vehicles endanger the blind
Your front page "Brown's electric dream for Britain" (report, 8 April; letters, 13 April) could be a nightmare for blind and partially sighted people. Guide Dogs congratulates Gordon Brown for thinking of the environment and helping the car industry, but quiet hybrid vehicles are difficult for people with sight loss to detect.
Mr Brown's vision may be revolutionary, but electric cars need an engine sound, an easily recognisable audible system, which makes them detectable for people with sight loss. Many local authorities are introducing shared surface streets, removing the traditional kerb, so pavement and road are at the same level.
It's already easy for people with visual impairment to lose their bearings and walk into the path of approaching traffic. If they can't hear the traffic either, Mr Brown's electric dream could become a nightmare for many vulnerable pedestrians. Let's have a bit of noise with the green car revolution.

UK also guilty of animal cruelty
The Pentagon is not alone in deliberately subjecting live animals to weapons injuries ("US military blows up live pigs to test body armour", 9 April). In the UK, tens of thousands of harmful experiments have been inflicted on animals in the name of national defence.
These include: monkeys being shot in the head; bacteria-laden faeces introduced into pigs' abdomens to induce peritonitis; guinea pigs driven to uncontrollable defecations and convulsions after being exposed to the poisonous gas soman, and dogs reduced to shivering wrecks thanks to riot control gas.
All this from a party whose spokesperson for animal welfare stated while still in opposition, "It is Labour policy to forbid the use of animals in the testing and development of weapons".

Put paid to pirates
We defeated the Spanish Armada, Napoleon's fleets and Hitler's U-Boats; surely a combined naval force of the world's sea-powers can put paid, once and for all , to a few score selfish, millionaire Somali pirates who are holding the world to ransom?

Mad about football
Hurrah for Dom Joly ("Ah, the beauty of hating football", Sport, 13 April). It's about time someone stood up for those of us like him. I usually throw the Sport section away unread because I know it will be full of football, (On Monday, 11 pages out of 24; would have been more if not for four pages of Masters golf). Nothing about women's sport or more minor-interest sports. There must be lots going on out there, and you should cover it. When is sports journalism going to offer a proper service?

On 16 March, my wife and I finished paying our mortgage with the Woolwich, a division of Barclays Bank. We overpaid the final instalment by £47.11 which, together with a final repayment charge of £50, left a balance to pay of £2.89 on 31 March. On my prompting, we received a statement and a repayment schedule which informed us of the daily rates to clear this debt, ending with £14.37 if not paid until 30 April. How can the financial institutions excuse these dreadful rates of interest?

Really final score
In David Goldblatt's review of Jason Cowley's The Last Game (10 April), he states that, "In their penultimate game, Liverpool could have secured the title, but were beaten by West Ham". In fact, Liverpool beat West Ham 5-1 and, thanks to that one goal scored by West Ham, Arsenal had to win by (only) two clear goals rather than the three that would have been required had Liverpool kept a clean sheet.

Thank the forgers
Why the concern about forged £1 coins (letters, 11 April)? The forgers are providing a public service by implementing quantitative easing at no cost to the public purse.

Album Summary
Notes & Reviews:
Thrilling live performances from the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, in brilliant audiophile sound! This release is the second in the "Pittsburgh Live!" series of multi-channel hybrid SACD releases on the FRESH! label from Reference Recordings.
The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra plays these three masterly symphonic poems with virtuosity, great feeling, and a glorious patina of string tone, and the rich hall resonance is well caught by the SACD record.
This is quite a disc. Manfred Honeck's live performances from June 2012 bring so much to admire, not least a thrilling electricity, heaps of chutzpah, revelatory detail, and sparky temperament.
Recording information: Heinz Hall for the Performing Arts, Pittsburgh, PA (10/11/2013-10/13/2013).
Usually I prefer a Czech recording in the Dvorak 8, where Czech musicians seem to add a extra measure of Czech character to this special music. Manfred Honeck knows Czech music (he has performed many times in Prague) and it shows here.
Maestro Honeck provides a very personal view of the Czech elements in the Dvorak 8. It is a fascinating interpretation, and the notes set forth his thinking.
The orchestral playing by the Pittsburgh, and the recording of the PSO, is virtuosic in the fullest measure. Every section of this great orchestra is at its best, and the variety of colors delivered by the strings, woodwinds and brass is way beyond expectations. Just listen to the opening of the 4th movement!
The Pittsburgh plays for Maestro Honeck with great dynamic range, from sparkling soft passages to thunderous crescendos, always with sophisticated tone and great power in reserve. The Pittsburgh is clearly one of the greatest orchestras playing today.
The combination of Honeck and his great orchestra is magical. The Pittsburghers clearly love their Music Director and deliver every nuance he seeks. That relationship is striking in live concert, and it is fully evident in this recording.
The Janacek Jenufa suite, arranged by Honeck, is a gem. The Pittsburghers deliver the same outstanding level of playing as in the Dvorak and the previous Richard Strauss disk. Janacek has a unique sound palette, and the PSO delivers some of the best Janacek sound I have ever heard.
Listen to these performances with a good sound system that can deliver the full dynamic range, and prepared to be thrilled.

More Than 29 Million People Live As Slaves, According To New ReportOctober 18, 2013 // 0 Comments
By Sara Gates
Modern slavery may be a much larger problem than recently estimated.
In its inaugural Global Slavery Index, released Thursday, the Walk Free Foundationrevealed that more than 29 million people around the world are living in slavery. That's higher than the U.S. State Department's estimate of 27 million and well above the International Labor Organization's estimate of 21 million.
"It would be comforting to think that slavery is a relic of history, but it remains a scar on humanity on every continent," Walk Free CEO Nick Grono said in a statement provided to The Huffington Post. The organization, launched in 2012, seeks to end modern slavery by spreading awareness about the prevalence of slavery practices and what governments are doing (or failing to do) to stop those practices.
Walk Free ranks 162 countries based on three factors: the estimated prevalence of modern slavery, child marriages and human trafficking. The index considers both children and adults to be "living in slavery" if they have been victims of debt bondage, mandated marriages or forced labor.
Among the countries with the highest percentage of modern slavery per capita, the West African nation of Mauritania was the worst offender. According to the report, up to 20 percent of Mauritania's population of 3.7 million people are enslaved, many through a hereditary system.
Among the 10 countries with the highest proportion of people living in slavery, Indiaranked fourth. But in terms of raw figures, the South Asian country has the highest number of people enslaved — between 13.3 million and 14.7 million.

Automatically Generated Transcript (may not be 100% accurate)
Earlier today I received an update for my team on two separate issues that I've been following closely. Our ongoing operation in Iraq and the situation and Ferguson -- -- With the respect to Iraq. We continue to see important progress across different parts of our strategy to support the Iraqi Government. And combat the threat from the terrorist group myself. First our military operations are effectively protecting our personnel and facilities in Iraq. Over the last eleven days American airstrikes have stopped the Beisel events throughout the city of mobile and push back the terrorists. Meanwhile we have urgently provide additional arms and assistance to Iraqi forces. Including Kurdish and Iraqi Security Forces were fighting on the front lines. Today with our support. Iraqi and Kurdish forces took a major step forward by recapturing the largest -- in Iraq near the city of Mosul. The -- that -- fell under terrorist control earlier this month and his directly tied to our objective of protecting Americans in Iraq. If that dam was breached it could have proven catastrophic with -- that would threaten the lives of thousands of civilians. And endanger our embassy compound. In Baghdad. Iraqi and Kurdish forces took the lead on the ground and performed with courage and determination. So this operation demonstrates that Iraqi and Kurdish forces are capable of working together. And taking the fight to -- If they continue to -- so there will have the strong support. The United States of America. Second we're building an international coalition to address the humanitarian crisis in Northern Iraq. Even as we've worked to help many thousands these CDs escape procedures bouncing jar. Hundreds of thousands of rockets have been displaced by Parcells violence and many more are still at risk. Going forward the United States will work with the Iraqi Government as well as partners like the United Kingdom Canada France Italy and Australia. To get food and water to people in need and to bring -- long term relief to people who have been driven from their homes. -- We will continue to pursue a long term strategy to turn the tide against Neitzel. By supporting the new Iraqi Government and working with key partners in the region and beyond. Over the last week we saw this sort progress as Iraqis named a new prime minister designate. Fighter all body and Iraq's outgoing for a prime minister of Maliki agreed to step down. As peaceful transition of power will mark a major milestone. In Iraq's political development but as I think world where the work is not yet done. Over the next few weeks doctor of body needs to complete the work performing in new. Broad based inclusive Iraqi Government. One that developed a national program to address the interests of all Iraqis. Without that progress. Extremists like ISO can continue to prey upon Iraq's divisions. We have that new government in place Iraqis will be able that unite the country. Against the threat for myself and there will be able to look forward to increase support. I just from the United States but from other countries in the region and around the world. Let's remember. I suppose as a threat to all Iraqis. And to the entire region. They claim represented -- grievances but based water Sunni men women and children. They claim to oppose foreign forces but they actively recruit foreign fighters to advance their hateful ideology. -- of the Iraqi People made reject them and unite to begin to push them out of Lance that they've occupied as we're seeing at -- -- And is gonna take time. They're going to be many challenges. Ahead. But meanwhile there should be no doubt that the united states military will continue to carry out the limited missions that I populous. Protecting our personnel and facilities in Iraq -- Erbil and Baghdad. And providing humanitarian support as we did on -- syndrome. My administration has consulted closely with congress about our strategy in Iraq and we are gonna continue to do so. In the weeks to come because when it comes to the security of our people and our efforts against terrorist group like I sold we need to be united in our results. I also want to address the situation in Ferguson was our. Earlier this afternoon I spoke with governor Nixon as well senators were blunt Claire McCaskill. Also met with attorney general Eric Holder. The Justice Department has opened an independent. Federal civil rights investigation into the death of Michael Brown. They are on the ground and along with the FBI they are devoting substantial resources to that investigation. The attorney general himself will be traveling to Ferguson on Wednesday to meet. We have the FBI agents and DOJ personnel conducting the federal criminal investigation. And he wolf receive an update from them on their progress. You'll also be meeting with other leaders in the community support is so critical to bringing about peace and home in Fergus. Ronald Davis the director of the DOJ's office of Community Oriented Policing Services or cops. Is also -- traveling to Ferguson tomorrow to work with police officials on the ground. We've also had experts from the DOJ's community relations service working in Ferguson says the days after the shooting. To Foster conversations among local stakeholders and reduce tensions among the community. -- close to sing a few words about the tensions there. We have all seen images of protesters and law enforcement in the streets. It's clear that the vast majority of people are peacefully protest. What's also clear is that a small minority. Of individuals are not. Well I understand the passions in the anger. Arise over the death of Michael Brown. Giving in to vent anger by alluding. Or carrying guns. And even attacking the police. Only serves to raise tensions and stir chaos. It undermines. Rather than advancing. Justice. And also be clear that our constitutional rights to speak freely. To assemble and to report in the press must be vigilant -- -- especially in moments like these. There's no excuse for excessive force by police or any action that denies. People the right to protest peacefully. -- nation lost. Citizens who live under them and for the citizens would force them. So to a community and Ferguson that is right -- hurting and looking for answers. Let me call once again for -- to six some understanding rather than. Simply. Followed each other. Let's seek to -- Rather than to warm to each other. As Americans we got to use this moment to seek out our shared humanity. That's been laid bare by this moment. Potential of a young man and the -- of parents. The frustrations of a community. The ideals that we hold as one united American family. I've said this before. -- too many communities around the country golf. Of mistrust exists between local residents. And law enforcement. Into many communities. Too many young men of color left behind and seen only as objects of fear. Through initiatives like my brother's keeper I personally committed to changing both perception. And reality. And already were making. Some significant progress as people of goodwill of all races -- rated ship that but that requires that we build. And not tear down. That requires we listen. And not dish out. That's how we're gonna move forward together. But trying to unite each other and understand each other or not. Simply. Divide ourselves from one another. We're gonna have to hold -- to those values. In the days ahead. That's how we bring about justice. And that's how we bring about peace.

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.
Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)

Poor Big Bird. He's a beloved childhood icon, he's turning 40 next week, and he gets no respect in the baking world.
It's one thing to rip the poor guy's beak off, but then to sign your name (illegibly) in its place? For shame, Halko! Or maybe Nillo...Mouo? Dang, this Wreckerator must have written code for the NSA in a former life; I have no idea what that says.
Guys, it's a sad, sad day on Cake Wrecks when a dreaded CCC is the "best" of the bunch:
Although I don't recall his beak being quite that...Popsicle-y. Hang on, lemme go grab a reference photo. [furious clickety-clicking]
Ah, here we go:
From the look of that beak/mouth combo, though, at least I know I'm not the only one.

CVC Hires Bankers for Indonesia Share Sale
Private-equity firm CVC Partners has appointed CIMB Group Holdings Bhd. CIMB 0.00 % , Morgan Stanley MS -1.26 % and UBS AG as bankers to advise it on selling shares in Indonesia's Matahari Department Store, people with direct knowledge of the matter said Monday.
The sale may raise up to $1 billion, one of the people said, and could happen as early as the first quarter, according to another.
It was unclear how many shares would be offered but just 1.8% of Matahari Department is in public hands, with the rest held by CVC. Indonesia doesn't have a minimum level of public float for its listed companies. CVC, which acquired its Matahari Department stake in 2010 for $770 million from Indonesia's Riady family, declined to comment.
Indonesia is a favorite with institutional investors seeking growth, and retailers—domestic and foreign—are expanding in the country to tap its expanding middle class. Earlier this month, CVC invited banks to pitch for mandates on the share-sale process, people with knowledge of the deal said.
Matahari Department is the country's fourth-largest retail brand by sales, behind convenience-store chains Alfamart and Indomaret, both Indonesian, and French hypermarket operator Carrefour SA, CRRFY -1.09 % according to Euromonitor. Matahari operates 109 stores across Indonesia.
Matahari's thinly traded shares have risen 22% this year, outpacing the wider market's 14% gain.
Department stores aren't keeping up with demand in Indonesia, with just 10 or so new outlets opening annually, according to the Indonesian Retailers Association, which said the country had 300 department stores at midyear.
Still, Matahari's Department first-half net was down 39%, to 157.46 billion rupiah ($16.4 million), from 258.98 billion rupiah a year earlier, as the retailer faced stiff competition, particularly from convenience stores.
The Indonesian government expects the economy to expand as much as 6.4% this year and up to 7% next year. The middle class, defined as people who spend between $2 and $20 a day, now numbers 130 million people, according to the World Bank.
The planned sale follows losses by the private-equity firm in Australia, where media company Nine Entertainment—which CVC acquired for 5.6 billion Australian dollars (US$5.72 billion) in 2007—was pulled from the brink of insolvency earlier this month by a debt restructuring. That handed CVC the largest loss for a private-equity company on a single transaction in the Asian-Pacific region. The firm last month said that the head of its Australian operations, Adrian MacKenzie, who was instrumental in the acquisition, was leaving the firm after 17 years.
In May CVC pulled a planned $2.5 billion initial public offering in Singapore of its motor-racing franchise Formula One Group due to volatile market conditions, people with knowledge of the deal said then.

We're pleased to announce the release of the Linux Integration Services (LIS) 3.4 release for Hyper-V. As you can imagine with our focus on the release of Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, the LIS 3.4 release mirrors that focus. Specifically, the Linux Integration Services 3.4 Release for Hyper-V adds support for the following hosts:
In addition, the Linux Integration Services 3.4 Release for Hyper-V adds support for thefollowing guest operating systems:
Linux Integration Services
When installed in a supported Linux virtual machine running on Hyper-V, the Linux IntegrationComponents provide:
Q: Do Linux Integration Service 3.4 Release support Red Hat 5 or CentOS 5?
A: Customers needing drivers for Red Hat or CentOS version 5.6 and earlier should continue to use the Linux Integration Services 2.1 here.
Q: Are the Linux Integration Services supported by Microsoft?
A: Yes, the LIS drivers are fully supported by Microsoft.
Q: My customer wants to know what kind of investments Microsoft has made to running Linux well within a Hyper-V VM. Has Microsoft exited the staging tree of the kernel? How does Microsoft compare to VMware?
A: Microsoft has made significant investments in interoperability to ensure that Linux runs well within a Hyper-V VM. The Linux Integration Services exited the staging tree with the Linux Integration Services 3.3 release on February 13th 2012. It should also be noted that from February 2011-2012, Microsoft submitted over 600 patches to the Linux kernel and was one of the top 20 contributors (#7 for the Linux 3.0 kernel and #19 for the Linux 3.2 kernel). To contrast this with VMware, they are not even on the list. For more information, see the attachment produced by the Linux Foundation themselves, who are the core developers and maintainers of the Linux kernel (Linus' team).
Q: Do the Linux Integration Services function on Windows Azure?
A: Yes. If you create a VM on Windows Azure using any of Linux distributions offered such as:
…these VMs uses the Linux Integration Services for improved performance and integration. For more on the launch of Linux on Windows Azure see this article on Network World.
Q: Where is the official list of supported guest operating systems for Hyper-V?
A: It is here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc794868(v=WS.10).aspx
Q: A new Linux distribution version <insert distribution and version here> was released 10 minutes ago and I don't see it on the list of the supported guest operating systems for Hyper-V. What's going on?
A: Microsoft tests and validates a huge matrix consisting of hosts and guest operating systems. Please be patient.
Q: Does Ubuntu work with Hyper-V?
A: Ubuntu 12.04 and later include the Linux Integration Services for Hyper-V in the distribution. Users can simply install Ubuntu 12.04 and it just works.
Windows Server 2012: The Definitive Cloud OS
Like to see the Linux support. Thanks
Will any linux diatro run on Hyper-V 2012? My last experience for linux on Hyper-V 2008was dismal.
I appreciate that the Linux Integration Services are included in Ubuntu but it would be nice if there could be a repository maintained by Microsofts to make sure the latest versions are available for easy install via apt-get.
As it is now one get the 3.1 drivers when installting a new Ubuntu 13.x server in Hyper-V. it works but I am sure it would be beneficial to have the 3.4 LIS drivers.

Explore the Entrepreneurship.org Resource Center to find resources. Designed with entrepreneurs in mind, our resource center allows you to find materials to grow great ideas.
As your business grows, plan a method for recruiting and hiring the very best people you can find. It will be important to hire the right top managers and let these managers recruit and hire the staff.
Most people are motivated more by the work they do and the environment in which they work than by the money they earn. Therefore, the compensation and reward systems you offer to employees should include both monetary and non-monetary ideas.
Every entrepreneur needs to know what federal and state employment and labor laws and regulations say about hiring, firing, compensation and discrimination.
Directors and Officers (DandO) insurance is a term often heard in companies forming their first boards of directors or bolstering current boards. This expert lays out, in question-and-answer format, key issues for entrepreneurs to consider when buying DandO insurance.
As an entrepreneurial company grows and adds layers of management, it can and should consider policies that address work and family issues or risk inconsistency across departments, writes the founder of a human-resources services firm. The author advises companies to examine four areas: scheduling, flexibility, telecommuting, and childbirth leaves. Increased productivity will be the company's reward.
This entrepreneur expert asserts that without a well-developed hiring process, entrepreneurs tend to make mistakes that can set their companies back. To build a high-performance top team, the author illustrates his three-step plan to reduce risk and increase hiring successes.
Your company's unique characteristics guide your choices regarding executive compensation. Consider the current stage of company development, plans for future growth, intended liquidity path for company equity, and overall management philosophy around sharing financial information and rewards to help you determine what makes sense for your situation.
Entrepreneurs struggle with how much to pay themselves and the need to use financial resources to ignite growth versus reaping cash rewards for their own labors. Once outside equity investors are involved, the struggle and decision passes to board members. This founding entrepreneur, minority shareholder in his own company, shares what has worked for his company.
Before selling to Cintas in 2006, Shred First, the company Ray Barry helped start, had grown into the largest independently owned shredding business in the country. Here, he explains why, from a legal and competitive perspective, a seemingly "non-critical" function like document security is actually a critical function and why outsourcing document destruction to a reputable company is the most secure, efficient, and economical solution.

Delicious morning treats and sandwiches. Great coffee and such sweet service. Reasonable prices. How can you lose?

I love, love, love, this sandwich shop. The UES between the 80s/90s is in desperate need of quality, clean and good restaurants. This shop fits the bill. A sweet group of people who work here. Food is really good. A bit different from standard fare. Fresh. It's a good shop.

I stopped into Brown Cup to grab a quick breakfast and a coffee. Everyone behind the counter was speaking spanish and as I looked at the menu boards, they just stared at me instead of asking if I needed help. Since it seemed clear that I was not to order from them, I stepped up to the register and started to order. The girl raised her eyebrow at me and said "You order over there?" Like I was retarded. I apologized and headed back to the counter but not before she blatantly rolled her eyes at me. I ordered (with some difficulty since I couldn't understand what the guy was saying), then went back to Hostile Cashier Girl and then saw that I was just short of the $8 card minimum and I had no cash. Apparently I was delusional to hope she'd give me a break - she rolled her eyes again (this time to my face) and pointed out the card minimum. Rather than buying a bottle of water to push myself over, I told her to forget it, walked out and around the block to argo tea where I was happy to pay twice as much for essentially the same thing. I'm usually pretty tolerant of bad or indifferent service. I'm from New Jersey. But this girl pissed me off, and I would gladly walk the extra block in heels and pay twice the price than experience that attitude again.
Posted by SandwichFiend on 07/28/2010
The sandwich selection here is quite awesome. The actual execution of the food is very, very good too - I've ordered a few different sandwiches, and each has had a unique bread, filling, dressing etc. Quality of ingredients totally satisfies. Even their coffee is great. But most surprising has been the delivery. Usually when I get delivery from places, I can sit down and expect to have accomplished a decent amount of work before the food arrives. With this place, I've consistently been jarred by the doorbell literally minutes after ordering. It's like their delivery guy uses teleportation or something.
Posted by Walker on 05/30/2010
Their food is great and probably the cheapest on 8th ave! Perfect for quick breakfast on the go, or sit in. Nice, simple little place, chill atmosphere. Coffee's excellent.
Posted by anonymous on 11/19/2009
I used to order at least once a week from here. However in the last month i have stopped. .delivery takes forever. They bring the wrong thing and often take a VERY long time to get your correct food back to you. I will no longer be ordering from here.
Posted by Clythie on 10/01/2009
The sandwiches here are so good and interesting. The food is fresh. Beware the salad bar, if you order roo many ingredients you'll end up with a 3 lb salad, they give you more than the average salad bar. The onl;y thing they need is better desserts but a tasty cup all in all.

An Impressive Key Date
Rusty Goe, in his The Mint on Carson Street, had this to say about our Gem offering in the present lot: "In 1996 (a) frosty Uncirculated specimen was sold at auction by Bowers and Merena as part of the James B. Pryor Collection. It was graded by PCGS as MS64 and possessed every attribute of a Gem Uncirculated coin. Collectors and dealers in the era before professional grading services would not have had any problem referring to it as a Gem. The price realized for the coin in the Pryor sale was $20,900, at the time the highest price ever paid for an 1878-CC half."
Goe's assessment of this coin was apparently right on target, further evidenced by the CAC label. The devices are fully struck and both sides yield superb, sparkling mint luster. Just a slight accent of pale golden-rose patina is seen concentrated at the margins. A milling mark to the lower-right of Liberty's right (facing) arm and another to the upper-left of star 12 will aid in pedigreeing this coin, as will a small mark on each breast. This is an impressive example of this rare, key date issue in the Seated half dollar series that is sure to generate spirited bidding. Population: 5 in 65, 0 finer (11/11).

The Draped Bust Half Dollars of 1796-1797 by Jon Amato is the culmination of more than 10 years of research into the Draped Bust Small Eagle half dollar series, one of the most coveted type coins in American numismatics and one about which remarkably little has been written.
This work will be the premier reference for 1796-1797 half dollars for years to come. Institutions having an extensive numismatic library or coin cabinet will find it a valuable complement to their holdings, and catalogers charged with writing up specimens for auction can now have an indispensable source of background and pedigree information. Likewise, coin dealers seeking to purchase one or more '96 or '97 half dollars for a client or for inventory, and collectors who own, have owned, or desire to own one will want this important reference work for their libraries.
