In Austin, Workers Score a Big Win
Austin City Council passed a resolution making Austin the first city to add comprehensive protections for workers into its corporate-incentive program.
Austin City Council passed a resolution making Austin the first city to add comprehensive protections for workers into its corporate-incentive program.
Friday morning, Austin City Council upheld a decision to revoke a $3.8 million incentive deal with Indiana-based developer White Lodging. Labor groups say the company violated a prevailing wage agreement and underpaid its employees.
In 2011, Austin-based Workers Defense Project successfully lobbied for the wage theft code amendment, authored by Senator Jose Rodriguez (D-El Paso), that made it harder for employers to get away with stealing workers' wages. The amendment to the Texas criminal code closed a loophole which allowed employers to get away with paying employees only partially for their work without facing criminal charges. El Paso has become the first city outside of Austin to indict an employer for stealing wages.
The Workers Defense Project held its Day of the Fallen march on Feb. 27 to commemorate Texas construction workers who have been killed on the job.
The Austin-based nonprofit organization, Workers Defense Project, says workers' rights need to be part of the conversation as legislators in Washington, D.C. hash out immigration reform. On Thursday the group released a study, "Build a Better Nation," that found 50 percent of all construction workers in Texas are undocumented.
In recent years, Austin has become a generous incentive-giver to corporations – but not all companies keep up their end of the deal. On […]
Workers Defense Project honors local officials for pushing living wage floor for laborers working on projects that receive financial incentives.

VIDEO | UFC 153 Pre-Fight Interview: Anderson Silva Says His Primary Focus Is On GSP Fight| UFC NEWS
UFC middleweight champion, Anderson Silva, is set to go up in weight for the third time in his UFC career this weekend against Stephan Bonnar.
In this video feature the pound-for-pound king discusses the difficulties in facing Bonnar this weekend but points out that after this fight his main focus is on a potential super fight with UFC welterweight champion GSP.
Hop to page 2 to watch the full video interview.

….because he's scared of fighting JBJ so he'll focus on fighting the smaller champ instead.
I'm sure Jon Jones really really wants a fight with Anderson. Go pick a fight with some dude 20lbs heavier than you, i'm sure it'll work out real well for you…
I am sure that GSP doesn't need you to stand up for him! GSP has never made an issue with a fighter's normal weight. If he feels he can't beat Silva, he won't sign the contract. Fighting skills will play a bigger role in the outcome of the fight. Silva would own the stand up and GSP would own the ground.
Silva is taller but not much heavier than GSP. Jones has 20 lbs on Silva easily. Silva and Jones are fighters from a different generation. You people keep forgetting Silva is 38 years old where Jones is 24 and in the prime of his fighting life. If Silva were 10 years younger that fight would make sense just to see who is the better fighter.
I'm a Silva fan but he needs to learn a thing or two from BJ who picks fights with bigger guys.
BJ doesn't pick fights–fighters pick fights with BJ !! BJ is one of the best ever, so up and coming fighters want the fast track to stardom. So they call out BJ-one of the best fighters ever.
People are forgetting that Silva is talking about meeting GSP eitehr at 170 or 175. This isn't some big advantage that he will have over GSP. If anything GSP would have the advantage over an older guy cutting down the most weight in years. It's a fight that many critics and fans have been discussing for years. JBJ is way to big and too tall for Silva, and he's already admitted that so let's move one from there.
Choosing not to fight Chael on a short notice only legitimizes the match up between the two. If Jones would have beaten Chael people would have said, "so what you beat a smaller out of shape Chael Sonnen." It would have made no sense, but now both guys can train and fight each other at 100 percent. They also have time to market the fight whereas before it wouldn't have made any money. There's more hype and suspense to this fight now. Jones has cleaned out the entire division he should fight whoever he wants.

By Samantha L. QuigleyAmerican Forces Press Service
CHICAGO, Sept. 22, 2009 Military family members who gathered here recently to learn how to protect their identities were told to "think like a spy" in protecting their personal information.
John Sileo, an author and identity theft expert -- himself a victim of identity theft -- spoke at the Defense Department's Joint Family Readiness Conference here, hosted by the Office of Military Community and Family Policy.
Sileo told the audience of the case of Albert Gonzalez, a Miami man who pleaded guilty last month in the largest-ever identity theft case, which involved hacking into data on 130 million credit and debit cards used at five major retail stores. The news was meant as a wake-up call.
"You guys have a one-in-two chance that this man, alone, has stolen your identity," Sileo said. "One man."
To protect their identities, Sileo's first piece of advice was to think like a spy on requests for personal, identifying information.
"A spy is trained in stealing data, information, knowledge, intellectual capital. Unlike a thief who steals physical things," Sileo said. "Not only is a spy trained in how to collect it, but how to protect it."
To think like a spy requires some specific mindsets. The first is called the "privacy reflex," he said. "Spies are trained immediately to have a reflex anytime somebody requests their personal information. They do this using a device called a trigger."
Sileo calls the five triggers the "Hogwash 5" because when a solicitor says them, your response should be "hogwash." They are: "trust me," a claim of protecting finances, asking for a "little bit" more information and things Sileo calls "bribe bias and fear bias."
"I'm going to give you something in exchange for your information," Sileo said. "Now, that's not identity theft, but it's the same principle, which is, 'I'm going to bribe you out of your information.' The reverse is, 'If you don't do this, then I'll take something away'" – the fear bias.
"The fifth [trigger] is the most common," he added. "It's the most subtle. Eighty percent of the time all they have to do is say, I just need a little bit more of your information. We're so used to giving it away that that's all they have to say."
The second mindset of a spy involves interrogation, which Sileo describes as aggressive and systematic questioning. In other words, slow down the interaction and consider what's being requested and why. If it's a phone call allegedly from a bank claiming fraudulent activity and offering to close out the account, ask for verification.
Request only information the bank could produce like the date, amount and location of the last transaction.
"If it's the bank, who is sitting at a computer, or a really good identity thief, they'll have the answer. If not, you'll hear your first excuse," Sileo said. "Red flag number two. Any excuse is hogwash."
That leads to mindset three: target the enemy.
Sileo suggests stopping the receipt of information the enemy seeks such as preapproved credit applications. Freezing credit, which requires people to provide a password before a new account can be opened in their name, also is a way to stop a would-be identity thief, he said.
Methods for reducing the chances of identity theft are plentiful, but they're not foolproof. Keeping an eye on accounts and expedient investigation into any unusual activity can make all the difference, he said.
"It's that speed of catching identity theft -- it's not that we get rid of all of it," Sileo said. "It's that we monitor it and stop it."
Sileo's suggestions come from experience. His problems started when he walked into the bank where he'd done business for 15 years to open a new checking account in 2003. His request was denied because "your history's bad."
"That's hogwash," Sileo told the teller. "Things were fine when I was in this bank last."
Hogwash or not, the teller told him, he'd conducted a lot of financial business -- and become a woman -- since he'd been in the bank last.
"The first time my identity was stolen it was by a crime ring called the Cashmen who dress up like your trash men … [who] collect the garbage off your curb, [and] take it back to a warehouse where they filter through it for your numbers, your identity," Sileo said. "A woman … purchased my stolen identity on the Internet and used it to buy herself a second home in Cleveland, Ohio."
Then she stopped making payments, defaulted on the loan and declared bankruptcy in his name, he said.
Two weeks later he'd straightened things out, though it had cost him that much time away from work and a firm suggestion from the bank teller to take some action to prevent a repeat. He chose to ignore the advice, which would prove to be a life-altering mistake.
"I'd paid my dues and lightening wasn't going to strike twice," he said. Until a few months later when there was a knock on his door.
"When I opened it, standing there was a gentleman – black suit, black tie, very official badge – who tells me … I'm about to be charged with a theft of $298,000," he added.
Sileo was being charged with embezzling from his clients to pay for the $20,000 a month he'd supposedly spent on personal items.
Two years later, Sileo won a long, hard fight to prove his innocence – but the war wasn't over.
"In the end, I didn't lose my freedom. I did, however, lose my business -- a 40-year-old business I'd taken over from my father -- my salary, my career," he said. "And I lost something so much more fundamental to my identity than any of that financial stuff. I lost two years with my family."
Preventing identity theft doesn't have to be difficult, but it does take some effort, Sileo said.
"You are in control of this amazingly powerful asset called your identity, but you have to be willing to protect the value of that asset," he said. "If you won't do it for yourselves, do it for your kids. In your case, do if for your country because we all need you [to be free to focus on the mission at hand, not reclaiming your identity]."

In the wide-open AFC West, an up-and-coming restored regime is laying the foundation for great things to soon come to fruition.
While injuries weren't the biggest reason the Oakland Raiders fell short of postseason play in 2011, the return of defensive end Matt Shaughnessy and running back Darren McFadden is only more reason for optimism for Oakland in the upcoming season.
Veteran players are excited to be back and it's a good sign to have everyone at minicamp present and/or participating.
Richard Seymour, 32, knows what it takes to win, having spent eight of his 11 seasons in New England.
When the 6-6, 310-pound former first-round pick (sixth overall in 2001) made his first appearance on the opening days of the 2012 mandatory minicamp, he expressed praise for new head coach Dennis Allen and his staff, in addition to his teammates and promoted an attitude change that is sweeping across the team.
"I think he's the best in the NFL against the run," Seymour said of teammate Matt Shaughnessy. "I can't say that against the pass now for all the sacks a lot of the other defensive ends have. In terms of the run I'll put him out there with anyone.
"He's definitely developed into a complete player," he continued. "It was a big blow for us when he went down. It messed up our rotation a lot. Guys that weren't normally in there were trying to understand what we were trying to do. To get him back healthy this year is big for us."
With a healthy Shaughnessy, the Silver and Black will feature one of the better defensive lines in the league with Lamarr Houston lining up on the left side and Tommy Kelly and Seymour manning the middle.
"Once we learn this defense and start playing together, I think it's going to be tough to stop because there's so many different things we can do,'' Shaughnessy said. "And if we're all on the same page, we're just going to be working faster."
The 6-5, 270-pound Shaughnessy, 25, has appeared in 35 contests (13 starts) and forced a total of 92 tackles, 12.0 sacks, one pass defensed and two forced fumbles.
"It felt good being out there," Shaughnessy continued. "You got to get used to the tempo, but as soon as that happens, should be smooth. It's one thing to sit and read it in a book, then it's another thing to come out here and do it. And I think actually doing it physically helps me learn it better.''
Seymour said the defense is "definitely going to be disciplined" under Dennis Allen but will maintain its aggressiveness.
"We don't want to lead the league in penalties or anything like that," Seymour said. "But we definitely want to be aggressive. "That's one thing that since I came here, as a defensive lineman, you think of tough, physical, aggressive-style defenses. We're definitely going to keep that, but (eliminate) the penalties and things that aren't helping us win."
Allen will bring his new strategies and schemes to the defense to instill discipline and the key players on the defense squad will become the strength that will make the difference.
"The key to playing football in the National Football League is to find ways to affect the quarterback and you do that by rush or coverage,'' Allen said. "So when you got guys that have the ability to get after the passer, it allows you to do some things in the back end in the coverage aspect.''
Having a head coach with a defensive background is "obviously a good thing," Seymour said, "but if you mess up, they know what you did wrong as well," he added with a smile.

Herb Marinated Tenderloin of Beef with Gorgonzola Yogurt Sauce
The yogurt-and-herb marinade flavors and tenderizes the beef, and the gorgonzola sauce's sweet and salty bite makes this main course melt-in-your-mouth delicious.
|4 pound tenderloin of beef
|1 bunch chervil, chopped
|Salt and pepper to taste
|1 1/2 cups organic lowfat plain yogurt
|2 sprigs rosemary, chopped
|1/4 cup olive oil
|2 sprigs thyme
|1 cup Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
Rub tenderloin with salt and freshly ground pepper, place in a large dish, and set aside. In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine rosemary, thyme, chervil, yogurt, olive oil, salt and pepper. Pour half of the yogurt mixture over the tenderloin and refrigerate for 45 minutes (or up to 6 hours). Add gorgonzola to the remaining yogurt mixture, cover, and refrigerate.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Remove tenderloin from marinade. Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high and brown tenderloin on all sides. Place tenderloin in a clean roasting pan and bake in the oven for 35 minutes or until internal temperature has reached 120°F. Let tenderloin rest for 15 minutes before carving. Top each serving with either cold or warm yogurt Gorgonzola Sauce. To warm the Gorgonzola sauce, place it in a medium-size sauce pan and gently warm the sauce over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until just warmed through. Serve immediately.
Makes 8 servings.

The current issue of The New York Review of Books includes a lengthy essay by Gershom Gorenberg, entitled "The War to Begin All Wars," discussing the 1948 War and Benny Morris's successive histories of it. It is a useful summary and a thoughtful reflection on how the present affects our understanding of the past (and vice versa), and the changing perspectives of historians. But the essay has a historical slant of its own worth examining, not least for its contemporary significance.
Gorenberg provides a 100-word summary of the 1948 War that contains within it themes that would recur in the sixty-year history that followed:
The conflagration began on November 30, 1947, the morning after the United Nations voted to partition British-ruled Palestine into a Jewish and an Arab state. A band of Arab fighters fired the first shots at a bus east of Tel Aviv, killing five Jews. The last military operation ended on March 10, 1949. In those fifteen months, Jewish forces defeated first the Arab irregulars of Palestine, then the invading armies of Egypt, Syria, Iraq, and Jordan. The new Jewish state's borders, and its survival, were a product of victory. Yet in those same months, somewhere around 700,000 Palestinian Arabs became refugees.
The war started, in other words, not with Israel's May 14, 1948 declaration of independence, but with the Arab rejection of a two-state solution six months before, immediately after the international community endorsed it, and the war commenced with a terrorist attack on Jewish civilians. It featured a victory, in a period of 15 months, over local Arab forces and four Arab armies. It was, for the Jews, a war of survival, coming three years after the end of the Holocaust. "Yet . . . around 700,000 Palestinian Arabs became refugees."
It is the "Yet" that reflects the perspective that underlies Gorenberg's essay – a moral equivalence between the consequences of the war for Jews and Arabs. Imagine a history of World War II describing that it began after Germany reneged on the Munich agreement, lasted six years until the initially more powerful Axis powers were defeated, and resulted in the borders of modern Europe – and then concluded with "Yet millions of Germans became refugees."
Two important facts, and an important moral perspective, are missing from Gorenberg's essay. The first fact is that nearly one-percent of the Jewish population was killed in the war – a figure that would translate, in comparative demographic terms today, to more than three million Americans. The second is that the war resulted in approximately 850,000 Jewish refugees expelled from the Arab countries in which they lived, who were resettled in the new state of Israel with no compensation (much less a "right of return").
The 700,000 Arabs who became refugees fall into three categories – some fled amidst the panic of the war; others were ordered out by Arab leaders to make way for the invading armies; and others were expelled, for various reasons, during the course of the fighting. The numbers in each category are still a matter of dispute (and the subject of tendentious Palestinian "scholarship"), but one fact is indisputable: there would not have been a single refugee had the Arabs accepted the two-state solution and not started a war.
That fact has particular relevance for contemporary history, as still another iteration of the "peace process" begins. The reason for rejecting a Palestinian "right of return" is not simply the practical one that it would demographically destroy the Jewish state; nor the legal one that there is no such right; nor the logical one that there can be no such right for Palestinian refugees where there was none for the more numerous Jewish refugees.
The even more compelling reason is the moral one that those who started a war have no claim to be relieved of its results. In a more moral world, they would be paying reparations – not only for the "War to Begin All Wars," but for the subsequent ones they caused as well. But at the least, in the imperfect actual world, they have no standing to argue that those they sought to defeat must help exempt them from the consequences of history.

short description
From this conducting this interview i learned that you will have difficulties along the way but you must never give up if it is something you are passionate about. Mr. Creel gave the advice to follow your passion and that is what i will take most from this interview.
Mr. Creel mentioned being on the streets growing up, i was nervous to question that further so i just imagined he did not have the easiest life. He pushed through those difficulties and went to college for buisness and later discovered his passion was Law although he didn't see it as a passion at the time. He went on to law school and became the successful lawyer he is today. The obstacles he faced with being so passionate about his career cost him his marriage but he still did not let that get in his way.

I'm drowning in little Jane blocks! It feels like there will soon be a quilt or two though, which is a good feeling.
Print or trace the block diagram onto foundation paper. Extend the diagonal lines through the leaf shapes as in the photo, cut out, and number the sections.
Foundation piece the numbered sections and trim their seam allowances to 1/4".
Out of main block fabric, cut a square 3" x 3".
Sew a pieced section to the top and bottom of the main fabric square. Press the seam allowances toward the pieced sections.
Sew the other two pieced sections to the remaining sides of the square but DO NOT sew into the seam allowances, i.e. start and stop the seams about 1/4" from the edge of the section. See detailed photo below.
Sew the remaining (diagonal) seams by placing the sections right sides together, sewing from the outside edge, and stopping the seam at the seam line (i.e. the corner of the square).
Cut the leaf shapes out of main block fabric and applique into place.

ALBANY -- Banks Kinslow figures it's going to take a big breakfast.
"Eggs, grits, bacon ... no waffles,'' Kinslow said.
Michael Matthews is going the other route.
"I'll just grab a Pop Tart,'' he said.
They're planning more than meals at Deerfield Windsor, where the Knights are literally up against the Square today (forget that old up-against-the-wall cliche -- this is DWS vs. Tattnall Square, a rivalry that goes beyond any walled boundaries).
The DWS kids know all too well what they have to do this morning. Shortly after Pop Tarts and bacon and eggs, they'll have to scramble for their lives in a 10 a.m. start to Game 2 after losing Game 1 on Friday, 11-4.
DWS' season could end in a loss today to Tattnall, which made it look all too easy Friday night.
The Trojans hammered Deerfield and they did it without even pitching phenom DeAndre Smelter, whose fastball has been clocked in the 90s and whose future has few limits. They're already talking about this kid becoming a possible first-round pick in the upcoming June MLB Draft.
At DWS, they're just talking about beating him.
"We beat him last year, so we're not scared,'' said Kinslow, who will be at shortstop in Game 2 today, then on the mound if they need a third game to decide the best-of-three series. The winner advances to the GISA Class AAA Final Four. That's the round Tattnall knocked off DWS last year. Two years ago it was in the state final.
"I don't think we have their number,'' said Tattnall Square coach Joey Hiller, whose program has won the last two state titles. "I just think we come to play hard every time we have a baseball game.''
But the kids know its a rivalry, and so do the fans. That's why it was packed at DWS on Friday night, where the Knights took a 2-1 lead in the first inning -- and then Tattnall pitcher Grant Nicholson took everything else.
Don't blame Nicholson for throwing a gem (remember, Smelter didn't throw a pitch). He's trying to wrap this series up early. His brother, Matthew, is getting married at 4 p.m. today in Cairo, and Nicholson wants to be there to throw some rice.
If he does, the rice will probably hit the strike zone because just about everything he threw Friday night did. He gave up only one earned run on five hits, but three of those came in the final innings after Tattnall had built a 8-1 lead. Nicholson, ironically, is also 8-1 now after striking out four and walking two.
He knows there's a rivalry. And he knows just how sweet this win was for Tattnall Square.
"It's beautiful,'' he said.
Hiller wouldn't say if Smelter would pitch the 10 a.m. game or not.
"I bet he pitches one of them,'' DWS coach Rod Murray said. "We didn't know who they would pitch (Friday) and they didn't know who we would pitch, so there's some cat and mouse going on. But the bottom line is we just got beat. The Nicholson kid is a very good pitcher. And it's not like this was his maiden voyage. He made quality pitches and we struggled at the plate.''
Now it's a sweep today -- or else pack up the balls and bats for Deerfield.
"Our kids have been in this situation before. They know it takes two games to win it now,'' Murray said. "I think they will come out hungry and ready to compete.''
Friday's game got away from DWS starter Chris Moates in the third when Ryan Mosley hit a bases-loaded high chopper over third to bring in two runs. One out later, Tanner Smith ripped an RBI single to highlight a four-run inning that lifted Tattnall to a 5-2 lead. Nicholson singled to open the fourth and Ryan Bartholomew picked May 14 to hit his first homer of the year. Moates left after six innings, having given up nine hits.
Rhett Cooper had an RBI single in the first and Gil Gillispie had an RBI single in the sixth, and Davis Moore had an RBI groundout in the first, but that was about it for the Knights, who had one extra base hit -- a double by Moore in the seventh.
Now they have to hit against Smelter, who reached base five times, scored three times and took away at least two hits with his glove at shortstop.
"He's a great pitcher, but we know we have to beat him,'' said Matthews, a senior second baseman who stars in basketball, football and baseball at DWS. "We know what we have to do. I'm confident. I think we'll come out ready to play.''
So does Kinslow -- another three-sport star.
"We're going to do it,'' he said. "And we won't be worried (about breakfast or dinner). We won't have dinner. We'll be out here (Saturday night) practicing getting ready for state.''

I believe the good Justice has displayed a staggering lack of grace and class. I want my Supremes to be above the day-to-day fray.

No one is required to attend any such thing and the Justices do not answer to Obama. Respect is earned not demanded.

Alito should have no trouble explaining why "Citizens United" is not the most obvious example of judicial activism since he came to the high court in early 2006.

I think Alito defined Judicial Activism right on point. I happen to believe that it was judicial activism in the ruling for Austin v. Michigan. The Supreme Court overturned its prior decision in Austin v. Michigan Chamber of Commerce and only part of McConnell v. FEC. It rejected the very idea that government can decide who gets to speak and that the government can actually ban individuals, speaking through their corporate boards,or, those speaking through associations of members who share their beliefs. If upholding the rule of law and upholding the first amendment is activism, then why have any rulings, why not just let Congress abridge that right at whim?

tausands Corporations speak through their boards not of the employees. If employees do not stand in agreement, they can leave that place of employ. If an employee wants to speak to the board, they may if they wish. Your assertion that employees work to pay for the opinion they would never agree with is without merit. An employee, if they want to keep their job and their salary, either stays and allows the corporate board to do what they deem correct or they leave. Who says that in the United States if you go to work for a corporation that the board of directors must make sure all employees agree with their decisions or opinions? That is absurd. You would be better off going to work for a non profit or charity organization, however, these associations may or may not make a decision you agree with either so your stuck in a world that your opinion may not be listened to. Poor you.October 19 2010 at 10:29 AM Report abuse Permalink -3 rate up rate down Reply

Brunswick School Board delays action on 6 contracts
BRUNSWICK — Superintendent of Schools Paul Perzanoski said he was disappointed Wednesday after the School Board tabled a decision on contract extensions for six administrators.
Perszanoski said he would let the board know if state law requires it to act sooner than the end of the month. If so, he said, the board may have to hold a special meeting next week.
The board also unanimously approved a new classroom observation policy that has been opposed by some vocal parents.
Board Chairman Jim Grant and Janet Connors dissented in the 6-2 vote on the administrators' contracts. Vice Chairwoman Michele Joyce was not present.
"There are specific things that have to be carried out," Perzanoski said at the meeting. "I don't have (the statute) in front of me. It's back at the office. I don't have it memorized."
The administrators with contracts expiring at the end of the school year include the assistant superintendent, athletic director, director of technology integration, principal and assistant principal at Brunswick Junior High School and principal at Harriet Beecher Stowe Elementary School.
The vote to extend the contracts was originally part of the School Board's consent agenda, which means the extensions could have been acted on without any discussion.
But the vote was removed from the consent agenda because board member William Thompson said he wanted to have a "fuller discussion about the review process" and include feedback from constituents.
"I will say I'm a little disappointed that I'm learning about this now," Perzanoski said. "You've had opportunities to be able to talk to me about this. I've heard one inkling to me (about) some concerns, but to hold up the contracts of six people – their livelihood – I think it's just not right."
Observation policy
Board member Joy Prescott abstained from voting on the observation policy, which passed 7-0. She said her concern is that "there is not a distinction between what is a visit to the classroom and what is a formal observation policy."
Under the new policy, classroom observations must be arranged 48 hours in advance and "will be limited to one time per month for no more than 60 minutes per visit."
In addition, a school principal "reserves the right to decline any request," although the superintendent can override the decision.
Thompson, who sits on the policy committee, said "if there's a huge uproar with the policy, then we can come back and revisit it."
Melodie Huston, a parent of a third-grade student at Harriet Beecher Stowe Elementary School, said the policy "unfairly target parents in the special needs community."
"In some ways it's a non-issue," Huston said after the meeting. "They made this policy because they lead you to believe like they've been inundated with (classroom observation) requests."

Watch out for Banjos in Bama!
Posted in: Kat
A guy walks into a bar in Tuscaloosa and orders a white wine.
All the hillbillies sitting around the bar look up from their beer and whiskey, expecting to see some pitiful Yankee from the north.
The bartender says, "You ain't from around here, are ya?"
The guy says, "No, I'm from Canada."
The bartender says, "What do you do in Canada?"
The guy says, "I'm a taxidermist."
The bartender says, "A taxidermist? What in the hell is a taxidermist? Do you drive a taxi?"
"No", says the Canadian "A taxidermist doesn't drive a taxi, I mount animals."
The bartender grins and hollers, "Its okay boys. He's one of us."

A professional football player who enters the business world after five or 10 seasons in the NFL has a few things going for him: wealth, an unbeatable work ethic, a certain degree of name recognition and the cachet that attaches to players in America's most popular sport.
What he doesn't have is real-world experience of the kind that a potential employer or investor wants to see on a resume. That's why so many of them end up in George Washington University's STAR EMBA program, which offers a curriculum "for individuals with strong personal brands such as professional athletes, artists, and musicians."
On Wednesday, the current crop of STAR EMBA students visited the Manhattan headquarters of Hearst Magazines, where a number of top executives and editors were on hand to offer an inside look at the workings of a big multimedia enterprise.
Most of the students on hand were retired football players, although at least one, Brendon Ayanbadejo, is still active in the league (although currently without a team). There was also a sprinkling of athletes from other sports — a golfer, a WNBA player, a couple of Olympians — and a few non-jocks as well.
Some of the executive MBA aspirants know exactly what they want to do with their degrees, like former Atlanta Falcon Ovie Mughelli. The Pro Bowl fullback devotes much of his energy to convincing sports franchises and other businesses to improve their environmental practices.
Mughelli, who's also a sports analyst for CBS Radio, became a green activist after a long heart-to-heart with Ted Turner at a fundraiser in Atlanta. "Small talk turned into big talk turned into life-changing talk," he says of the encounter. "He said, 'Why doesn't the NFL use the power of sports to give kids the best environment?' and I said, 'I don't know.' And then, five years ago, I said, I do know. I'm going to be that guy."
Some are using the course to figure out where their best opportunities lie. Chester Pitts, a longtime offensive lineman for the Texans and Seahawks, sees the program as a way to make up for the professional experiences he missed out on. "I'm catching up on the past 10 years," he told me over lunch on the 44th floor of Hearst Tower. (You might remember Pitts as the groceries-bagging oboist from this classic NFL commercial.)
Over a meal of surf-'n'-turf and veggies, the class heard presentations from new Hearst Corp. CEO Steve Swartz and David Carey, chief of the magazines division. Then they took questions. Ayanbadejo — whose gay rights advocacy has earned him recent headlines and new fans outside the sports world — wanted to know whether Hearst had ever considered going public, or if troubled offerings like Facebook's had made management IPO-shy. "This company has never needed to raise money," Swartz assured him.
Former Olympic rower Garrett Klugh asked how Hearst goes about assessing risk when considering new ventures. Carey couldn't resist playing to his audience. "You know better than I do that your batting average or your free throw percentage or your field goal percentage is never 100%," he said, adding that the most important thing is to "fail fast" and move on.
Mughelli brought up the impending relaunch of Comcast's G4 cable channel as the Esquire Network. He hoped it would still feature some content about video gaming. "You took away my favorite network," he said.
Dave Ball, who played defensive end for the Tennessee Titans and elsewhere, had questions about content standards. He prefaced his question by reading from the cover of a foreign edition of Cosmopolitan that promised "Orgasm Guaranteed." Did Hearst editors ever worry they were in danger of "becoming Flynt Publications," he asked cheekily.
Cosmo editor in chief Joanna Coles fielded that one. "You'd be surprised by how many women in America don't have orgasms on a regular basis," she informed him. "I see it as part of my mission to bring them to America." That earned her an ovation, mainly from the handful of athletes' wives in attendance.
Former Viking running back Sean James also had a question for Coles. As a child, he explained he had spent a lot of time with his mother in beauty parlors and had often read Cosmo there. "It gave me an intimate understanding of women," he said. "Have you ever considered having a section just for men?"
"I don't think anything we ran in Cosmo for Men would be that different from what we do in Cosmo for women," Coles replied.
There were also presentations from Esquire editor in chief David Granger and Chris Wilkes, who oversees Hearst's digital publishing operations. A demo of the new "Talk to Esquire" app, which lets users interact with prerecorded video tutorials using natural language, was greeted with impressed murmurs. Ayabandejo wanted to know whether Esquire's early use of E Ink for its 75th anniversary issue cover had inspired Hearst to invest in the company. (It did.)
Then it was time to board the bus. But not before Coles had a chance to clarify her earlier answer to Ball. "You all look like people who are having multiple orgasms all the time," she assured her audience. "None of you seem like you have any issues in that department."

FOXBOROUGH, Mass.—Sure, Sunday's marquee matchup was all about the quarterbacks—the Patriots' Tom Brady and the Colts' Peyton Manning, two of the greatest in NFL history. Both players were, not surprisingly, spectacular, with Manning throwing for 396 yards and four touchdowns (but also three interceptions, including one on a potential game-winning drive with 31 seconds to play). Brady wasn't so bad himself, countering Manning with 19-for-25 passing, 186 yards and two touchdowns.
But the difference in New England's 31-28 victory was BenJarvus Green-Ellis and Danny Woodhead, a pair of undrafted third-year backs who propelled New England's running game and helped the Patriots to a ground advantage of 168 yards to just 71 for the Colts.
Green-Ellis has been the anchor for the Patriots' running attack—an unlikely spot for a player who was passed over in the '08 draft out of Mississippi. Against the Colts, the Patriots leaned on Green as much as they could, and he finished with 96 yards on 21 carries.
Woodhead is an even more unlikely story, coming out of Chadron State in Nebraska, where he won back-to-back Harlon Hill trophies, Division II's equivalent of the Heisman. He, too, went undrafted but has found a home in the Pats' backfield after being cut by the Jets early in the season. Woodhead had the play of the game on Sunday—a 36-yard, third quarter touchdown run that started up the middle before Woodhead bounced outside and blew through an attempted tackle by safety Aaron Francisco. Woodhead finished with 69 yards on seven carries.
Woodhead is 5-8 and listed at (ahem) 195 pounds—and his lack of bulk might actually make him more effective. "That kid is a great player," Patriots rookie tight end Aaron Hernandez said. "He's amazing, and no one thinks a little kid like that is going to be able to get through a line and make people miss and break tackles."
Indeed, no one would think much of the Patriots' backfield as it stands now. On Sunday, though, they'd have been wrong.

It's a troublesome disease with a troublesome name, pronounced
brong-kee-ECK-tah-sis. Infants and older children get it more often than
adults, but adults get it too. Unless there are complications, it is not life
threatening, but it can be a social embarrassment.
Bronchiectasis is a relatively rare condition that affects the lungs. In this
disorder the bronchial tubes become enlarged and distended forming pockets where
infection may gather. The walls themselves are damaged which results in
impairment to the lung's complex cleaning system. The tiny hairs, called cilia -
which line the bronchial tubes and sweep them free of dust, germs and excess
mucus - are destroyed. When this cleaning system is not working effectively
dust, mucus and bacteria accumulate. Infection develops and is difficult to
The Causes
Bronchiectasis is caused by various types of infections which damage and
weaken the bronchial walls and interfere with the action of the cilia. Patients
may be predisposed to get this condition with various congenital or inherited
deficiencies such as immunological deficiency or cystic fibrosis. Rarely
patients inherit a primary abnormality of the hair cells or cilia which renders
them more prone to develop bronchiectasis.
Certain pneumonias which may be associated with measles and whooping cough,
usually occurring in childhood may predispose to this condition by weakening the
walls of the bronchial tubes and causing pockets of infection to form.
An obstruction of some sort - anything that presses on the bronchial tubes
from the outside or blocks them from the inside - may also cause bronchiectasis.
In childhood this most commonly results from choking on food such as a peanut
which is small enough to go down the windpipe and large enough to block off one
of the air tubes. When this happens the wall of the tube is injured and air is
prevented from passing beyond the obstruction. The bronchial tube, below the
obstruction, balloons out to form a perfect hiding place for infection and pus.
The main symptom of patients with bronchiectasis is a cough. This cough
occurs with great regularity every day. Generally patients with bronchiectasis
cough up large quantities of phlegm which resembles green or yellow pus. It
would not be uncommon for somebody to cough up more than a cup of this phlegm
per day. This phlegm may have an objectionable odour and can be a source of
great embarrassment to the patient suffering from bronchiectasis. This occurs
because pus is produced in the enlarged bronchial tubes which are chronically
infected and can only be removed by coughing.
Although chronic infection exists within the tubes the patients generally
feel well - without fever or pain. However, they are prone to getting worse
infections which may go on to pneumonia if not promptly treated.
Spitting up blood may occur from time to time in patients with
bronchiectasis. Tiny blood vessels near the surface of the thinned walls of the
bronchial tubes are easily ruptured. The bleeding is generally minor and self
limited but occasionally can present as a major emergency. Coughing up blood
usually indicates added infection.
The treatment of bronchiectasis is designed to prevent the complications of
pneumonia and blood spitting and to allow patients with this condition to live
as normal a life as possible. The most important aspect of the treatment is done
at home by the patient often with the help of family members. Because the usual
mechanism for cleaning the lung is not effective a helping hand is necessary. As
a result patients with bronchiectasis must learn to position themselves so that
the damaged areas of the lungs can drain by gravity. This is usually done by
hanging one's head over the side of the bed with the affected part of the lung
upper most. This is usually necessary one to three times a day and can be taught
to the patient by a physician or physiotherapist. Clapping the chest to help the
mucus run out is also very helpful. This can be done by a family member by hand
or using a mechanical percussor. If the patient practices this "postural drain-
age" on a regular basis the complications are often avoided and the patient can
carry on a relatively normal life.
The patient must learn to recognize an impending superimposed infection from
symptoms such as fever, chest pain and a change in the quality and quantity of
the phlegm. Early treatment of such infections with antibiotics can also
prevent complications.
If the patient has recurrent pneumonia or blood spitting and the
bronchiectasis is limited to a very small isolated part of the lung, this can be
removed surgically leaving the patient with no further problems. If the damage
is widespread, surgery is usually not advisable.
Bronchiectasis is now much less common than it once was. This probably
reflects modern antibiotics treatment of respiratory infections.
Most cases of bronchiectasis develop in childhood. By appropriate treatment
of respiratory infections and prompt removal of foreign bodies which have
entered the bronchial tree, the vast majority of cases of bronchiectasis can now
be prevented.
For those who have the condition, daily postural drainage and chest clapping,
judicious use of antibiotics, with a back-up of appropriate medical care can
prevent most complications and allow these patients to live a relatively normal

County council rejects change to speaker-disclosure rule
ANDERSON - A measure that would have let organizations' paid spokesmen address the Anderson County Council without publicly disclosing which groups they represent failed with a 5-1 vote Tuesday night.
Council member Cindy Wilson proposed amending Anderson County's ordinances to remove the requirement that any compensated spokesman reveal the identity of the person, group or organization he represents. Wilson said she had been approached by two people who asked her to remove the county requirement because they felt it was "basically impugning their constitutional rights."
But Wilson's proposal gained no support from her council colleagues. Wilson's was the lone vote in favor of the proposal. Council member Eddie Moore abstained from the vote.
Tommy Dunn, the council's vice chairman, said he was confused as to why the ordinance amendment was even proposed.
"Here we are trying to be open and transparent," Dunn said. "Looks to me like what's good for the goose ought to be good for the gander."
Council member Gracie Floyd said she understands that some people may not want to speak publicly and may want someone else to speak on their behalf. What she can't understand, she said, is why anyone who is speaking on behalf of someone else would be reluctant to say that in public.
"We're open," Floyd said. "We welcome people who want to talk to us. But you should have to tell us for whom you are speaking."
Council member Francis Crowder voiced support for Wilson's proposal.
"We want to allow people to speak, but we also don't want to put them under a litmus test that could put them at risk ... of being subject to a vendetta."
Despite what Crowder said, he ultimately voted against the changing the county's existing ordinance.
Council Chairman Tom Allen said he couldn't support Wilson's measure, either. He said that approving the ordinance change could make the public question the motives of their elected leaders.
"We would seem to be hiding a little bit," Allen said. "And why?
"We already have enough people hiding under nom de plumes and leaving nasty comments in this community," Allen said. "If we want transparency, let's have transparency."

The meal was beautifully crafted and tasted preciously thoughtful. Although the restaurant became busier as the night went on, our service remained prompt.

Creativity; fresh, quality ingredients; meals to suit several budgets. I can't think of a single reason why you shouldn't be heading west to see what all the fuss is about.
Charcuterie Board at Mercer Hall. The best chicken liver mousse I have ever had…period. To cap off the evening, 72 hr corned beef brisket. Best meal I've had in years.

It was in 1982 that Fujairah
Rockwool Factory started operations
and in the process became the first
company to manufacture Rockwool
insulation products in the GCC
region. Begun with an annual
capacity of 5000 metric tons, the
factory has since then expanded
operations and is today the largest
manufacturer of insulation products
in the GCC with supplies being sent
to, besides the GCC countries, the
Middle East, the Far East and the
other parts of the World.
as the name implies is made by
melting diabase rock mixed with coke
and limestone and converting them
into fibers. The raw material
diabase (basalt rock) is a pure
volcanic material which is millions
of years old. Rockwool is classified
as an inorganic material and has an
excellent resistance to high
temperatures and possess superior
acoustic properties.
The factory Utilizes highly advanced
technology to melt raw diabase at
1400° C to make the flowing lava
spin at high speed using the latest
multi spun disc system to produce
hairline fibers which are bound
together by spraying with a heat
setting resin. The fibers are spread
in a conveyor using the pendulum

Valentin Loellmann: m.&mme
Like spindle-legged tripods emerging from some sci-fi netherworld, Valentin Loellmann's latest collection teeters between aesthetic and unnerving. Each piece stands as a unique character on its own (while all managing to look like something Tim Burton might stash his socks in.) The German furniture maker is quick to note his work is built around "the idea of the family," and while this is definitely no bread-and-butter nuclear clan, it's their collective oddness which gives the work a cohesive vision.

When using ANGEL with Google Chrome, you may encounter blank screens when you try to access links, videos, or library articles. This is the result of a security feature in Google Chrome called Mixed Content Blocking. Intended as a security response to "man in the middle" attacks, this feature blocks non-https content from displaying in an https page by default unless specifically allowed during each page visit.
1. If you click on a link or content item in ANGEL and only a blank screen appears, check the upper right corner of your screen for the Shield icon. This icon indicates that Google Chrome has blocked the page from displaying.
2. Click on the Shield icon and a box will pop-up asking if you want to "Load unsafe script". Click the "Load unsafe script" text to allow the page to display.
3. Google Chrome will refresh your screen and you may need to navigate back to the appropriate link or content item in ANGEL.
4. Now when you click the link, the page should display. The address bar in your browser will display the https URL in red with a line through it to denote that mixed content is being displayed in Google Chrome.
5. Please Note: Due to the security in Google Chrome, you will have to follow this process every time you encounter the blank screen and see the Shield icon in the upper right corner of your screen.
If you have any additional questions or issues, please contact the Help Desk at 585-395-5151, option #1 or firstname.lastname@example.com

text: A new study in the British medical Journal Lancet finds that men in Iceland and women in Cyprus have the lowest risk of dying worldwide. And where is America? 49th for women and 45th for men behind Peru, Chile and Libya. Our screwed up - but hugely profitable for a few guys like Stephen J. Hemsley, CEO of United Healthcare, who earned more than $700 million for five years work - health care system is leading Americans to an early death, and nothing significant about it will change for years unless people in individual states rise up and start single payer health care systems.
