Ever since Dave Wilson's recent sabbatical tour of the world's great concert halls, the sounds of his speakers are getting much more to my liking. After falling in love with his large and magnificent Alexia speakers in Denver 2012, I'm very much looking forward to hearing the new version of this small and multi talented speaker. Duette Series 2 can work as a typical bookshelf speaker, as the basis of a 5.1 surround sound system, or, with its associated stand, a floorstander with the heart of the most courageous monitor.
Wilson continues: 'An All-New Design. When it came time to redesign the Duette, the design team's goal was to substantially increase Duette's performance in the most commonly used applications. By eliding the least used configurations, Wilson's engineers were able to more fully optimize those installation types that remained. Some of the flexibility of the original design could be traded for greater performance. It quickly became apparent that by following this path, the original Duette's unique ability to be placed near a boundary could be greatly enhanced. It could possess all of the compelling musical qualities of Wilson's conventional loudspeakers while installed in the most challenging acoustical environments.
Duette's original configuration, with its separate dedicated crossover, the Novel, remains. This format is ideal for shelf and cabinet installations. Separating the crossover from the enclosure allowed the engineers to maintain internal volume—necessitated by the eight-inch midrange/woofer driver at the heart of Duette's remarkable dynamic expression and bass extension. State-of-the-art inductors, capacitors and other crossover parts could be liberally employed without the impediment of the constrained space within the smaller enclosure. Lastly, it allowed for the electronic and mechanical isolation of the crossover elements.
New for the Duette Series-2 is a dedicated stand with an integrated crossover. This "system" approach has several advantages. First, applying the design strategy used in our larger floor standing loudspeakers, the crossover is mechanically isolated in its own dedicated enclosure. Wire management is part of the design—the umbilical attaching the crossover to the Duette is integrated into the stand and hidden from view. The new Duette stand has other advantages: it is far more robust and massive than the stand it replaces. An impedance "path," similar to Wilson's large speakers, allows for vibrations to be guided away from the main enclosure and into the floor. The Duette is now bolted directly to the stand, further enhancing resonance control—and the stability of the entire platform.'

Once the numbers under the cap are gone, the next opportunity to file will be April 1, 2012, for work to begin in FY 2013.More information on the cap count is available at http://www.uscis.gov/h-1b_count. Back to Top2. EB-2 India, China EB-2 Visa Numbers Jump; Other Visa News The November 2011 Visa Bulletin includes the following information:The November employment-based second preference cut-off date for applicants from China and India is the most favorable since August 2007. This advancement is expected to generate significant levels of demand based on new filings for adjustment of status at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services offices. While significant future cut-off date movements are anticipated, they may not be made on a monthly basis. Readers should not expect such movements to be the norm throughout the fiscal year, and an eventual retrogression of the cut-off at some point during the year is a distinct possibility.In recent remarks, Charles Oppenheim of the Department of State's Visa Office discussed predictions for employment-based visa numbers. Among other things, Mr. Oppenheim anticipates that in December 2011, the EB-2 priority date for China and India will move to March 1, 2008, and there could be additional movement in January and February. After that movement, these two categories may slow down and possibly retrogress later in the year.Mr. Oppenheim predicted that the EB-3 category for Mexico, Philippines, and most other countries should move forward one month every month. The EB-3 category for China is expected to advance one to three weeks per month in the near future.Prospects for India's EB-3 category do not look so promising. There are 54,000 cases pending since 2007, and many more with subsequent priority dates that have not yet been filed. Only 2,800 are allowed per year. Potentially this could mean 225,000 to 300,000 people waiting in line for India EB-3 visa numbers, including dependents. Mr. Oppenheim noted that over 50 percent of H-1Bs are given to Indian nationals every year; he said the majority will apply for permanent residence.The EB-1 and 2 categories for all countries, Mexico, and Philippines, are expected to remain Current for some time, Mr. Oppenheim said. Last year there were 18,000-20,000 fewer cases filed in the EB-1 category, which allowed more EB-1 China and India petitions to move forward along with some EB-2 adjustments from those countries.The November Visa Bulletin is available at http://travel.state.gov/visa/bulletin/bulletin_5572.html.Back to Top3. USCIS To Begin Sending Approval Notices to Attorneys Again Shortly In mid-September, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) began sending the I-797 Notice of Action for employer-based visa petitions directly to the company filing the petition rather than the attorney-of-record. After hearing from both companies and attorneys about the negative consequences of this policy change, the USCIS announced on October 20, 2011, that it will once again begin sending approval notices to attorneys. USCIS stated that the change will take effect in approximately six weeks. Accordingly, employers should still remain vigilant in checking their mail for immigration-related documents from USCIS for at least the next two months.Many people complained about USCIS' sudden decision to begin sending approval notices directly to employers rather than their attorneys. The potential harm that can result from a misrouted, mishandled, or lost document can be serious. For example, when an I-797 notice is sent to a large employer, the document can be misrouted within the organization, resulting in delays in reaching the foreign national. In a worst-case scenario, the document can be lost. In addition, some attorneys reported that requests for additional evidence were going directly to petitioners and applicants, not to attorneys of record. The USCIS held a teleconference on October 12, 2011, to hear stakeholders' concerns about the new I-797 procedures.The USCIS notice about the I-797 processing change is at http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=10db489ad93f2310VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD.

Reminder: DV Lottery Registration Ends November 5 The online registration period for the 2013 diversity visa program (DV-2013), also known as the green card lottery, ends on Saturday, November 5, 2011, at noon (EDT). Entries must be submitted electronically only (no paper applications) with photographs. There are no fees to enter. The Department of State strongly discourages applicants from waiting until the last minute to enter because heavy demand may result in website delays and no applications will be accepted after the deadline. The program makes available 50,000 immigrant visas to eligible persons from countries with historically low rates of immigration to the United States.For more information or to submit an application, go to https://www.dvlottery.state.gov/.

USCIS Announces 'Entrepreneurs in Residence' Initiative, Discusses EB-5 Enhancements As part of the Obama administration's "Startup America" efforts to encourage high-skilled immigration into the U.S. under existing laws, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Alejandro Mayorkas recently announced the "Entrepreneurs in Residence" initiative to use "industry expertise to strengthen USCIS policies and practices surrounding immigrant investors, entrepreneurs and workers with specialized skills, knowledge, or abilities." Director Mayorkas announced the initiative at the High Growth Entrepreneurship Listening and Action Session at AlphaLab in Pittsburgh, before the quarterly meeting of the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness with President Obama.Director Mayorkas said the introduction of expert views from the private and public sectors "will help us to ensure that our policies and processes fully realize the immigration law's potential to create and protect American jobs."USCIS will launch the "Entrepreneurs in Residence" initiative with a series of informational summits with industry leaders to gather strategic input. Informed by the summits, the agency will create a tactical team including entrepreneurs and experts, working with USCIS personnel, "to design and implement effective solutions." Director Mayorkas said the initiative "will strengthen USCIS's collaboration with industries at the policy, training, and officer level[s], while complying with all current Federal statutes and regulations."The initiative builds upon USCIS's recent efforts to promote startup enterprises and spur job creation, including enhancements to the EB-5 immigrant investor visa program. USCIS said that since August, it has been conducting a review of the EB-5 process, working with business analysts to enhance related adjudications, implementing direct access to adjudicators for EB-5 regional center applicants, and launching new specialized training modules for USCIS officers on the EB-2 visa classification and L-1B nonimmigrant intracompany transferees.At a related press conference, Director Mayorkas explained that "[w]e as an agency have been focused in the absence of legislative action to create newer broader pathways for the best and brightest from around the world to come to the United States and really take advantage of the opportunities here to enable our economy to grow and to create jobs for American workers." He said that the administration is "reviewing our policies and our processes to ensure that we are capturing the existing laws and the legislative intent behind those laws." Director Mayorkas said that "Entrepreneurs in Residence" and what it represents "cuts across all visa lines and is not limited to the EB-5 program by any measure." He said that DHS will be looking at the initiative's applicability in the arts and entertainment arenas, the O and P visa lines, and the H-1 categories. He also noted that DHS does not plan to bring in a large cadre of experts, but rather "to start tactically and surgically" with a small group of people, some working on strategy and some on tactics. He said that DHS is still working out the details and will release more information on next steps later.USCIS's statement on "Entrepreneurs in Residence" is available at http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=bd537158910e2310VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=68439c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD.

'Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act' Bill Heads to House Floor for ConsiderationRep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) introduced the "Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act" (H.R. 3012) on September 22, 2011. The House Judiciary Committee approved the bill with changes on October 27. It now goes to the full House of Representatives for a vote. The bill would eliminate the per-country numerical limitation for employment-based immigrants over three years and increase it for family-based immigrants, from 7 percent per country to 15 percent per country. It also would amend the Chinese Student Protection Act of 1992 to eliminate the provision requiring the reduction of annual Chinese (PRC) immigrant visas to offset status adjustments under the Act.In media releases, Rep. Chaffetz said, "Per-country limits make no sense in the context of employment-based visas. Companies view all highly skilled immigrants as the same regardless of where they are from—be it India or Brazil. By removing per-country limits, American companies will be able to access the best talent." He noted that the current percentage cap "has created a backlog of qualified workers." Rep. Chaffetz pointed out that the legislation will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of similarly employed workers in the US. but will "encourage high-skilled immigrants who were educated in the U.S. to stay and contribute to our economy, rather than taking the skills they learned and aiding our competitor nations." Co-sponsors of the bill include Reps. Tim Griffin (R-Ariz.), Zoe Lofgren (D-Cal.), and Lamar Smith (R-Tex.). It is supported by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce; Compete America, a coalition of high-tech companies including Microsoft, Google, and Oracle; various trade groups including the Business Software Alliance, the Semiconductor Industry Association, and the Information Technology Industry Council; and Immigration Voice, a leading coalition of highly skilled foreign professionals. Rep. Chaffetz's statement is available at http://chaffetz.house.gov/press-releases/2011/10/chaffetz-sponsored-immigration-bill-passes-house-judiciary-committee.shtml.

Employment Authorization Document, Certificate of Citizenship RedesignedU.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced a redesigned Employment Authorization Document (EAD) and Certificate of Citizenship (Form N-560) with new security features. USCIS began issuing the new EADs on October 25, 2011, and the new N-560s on October 30. The agency anticipates that more than 1 million people will receive the new documents over the next year.USCIS will replace EADs already in circulation as individuals apply for their renewal or replacement. All previously issued EADs remain valid until the expiration date printed on the card. Previously issued Certificates of Citizenship remain valid indefinitely. USCIS said the new features of the EAD will better equip workers, employers, and law enforcement officials to recognize the card as definitive proof of authorization to work in the United States. USCIS said it worked closely with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Forensic Document Laboratory to incorporate technology and tactile features to deter counterfeiting, tampering, and fraud, and to facilitate card authentication.The announcement is available at http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=338ce8ba05b33310VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=68439c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD.

DHS Secretary Napolitano Testifies on E-Verify, Enforcement Efforts Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano testified at an oversight hearing on October 26, 2011, before the House Judiciary Committee on worksite enforcement and the E-Verify program, among other issues. She noted that since fiscal year (FY) 2009, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has audited more than 6,000 employers suspected of hiring unauthorized workers, debarred 441 companies and individuals from receiving federal contracts, and imposed more than $76 million in financial sanctions, which she said was more than the total number of audits and debarments conducted during the entire previous administration. In FY 2011, ICE also criminally arrested 221 employers accused of violations related to employment, which Secretary Napolitano noted was "an agency record." As of FY 2011, she noted, more than 292,000 employers have enrolled in E-Verify, representing more than 898,000 locations. More than 1,000 new employers enroll each week, and the number of employers enrolled in E-Verify has more than doubled each fiscal year since 2007. In FY 2011 alone, E-Verify processed 17.4 million employment queries, she said.To improve E-Verify's accuracy, USCIS reduced mismatches for naturalized and derivative U.S. citizens by adding naturalization data and U.S. passport data to E-Verify, Secretary Napolitano said. Because of this enhancement, in FY 2011, "more than 80,000 queries that previously would have received an initial mismatch requiring correction at the secondary verification stage were automatically verified as work-authorized," she said. USCIS also has added 80 staff positions to support monitoring and compliance since the beginning of FY 2010. Also, to counter identity theft, USCIS now allows for the verification of passport photos through the E-Verify system.Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Tex). said it was true that DHS has increased the number of audits of companies' employment eligibility verification forms. However, he said, "these audits are of questionable benefit," citing a U.S. Government Accountability Office report stating that ICE officials have said that fine amounts are so low that they are not a meaningful deterrent and "employers view the fines as a cost of doing business, making the fines an ineffective deterrent." He called for more worksite enforcement actions, stating that when ICE does not arrest undocumented workers, "[t]hey go down the street and knock on the door of the next employer, and take jobs away from American workers."Secretary Napolitano's written testimony is available at http://judiciary.house.gov/hearings/pdf/Napolitano%2010262011.pdf.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) recently announced the agency's fiscal year (FY) 2011 year-end removal numbers. Overall, in FY 2011, ICE's Office of Enforcement and Removal Operations removed 396,906 individuals, the largest number in the agency's history. Of these, nearly 55 percent, or 216,698 of the people removed, were convicted of felonies or misdemeanors, an 89 percent increase in criminal removals since FY 2008. This includes 1,119 people convicted of homicide; 5,848 people convicted of sexual offenses; 44,653 people convicted of drug-related crimes; and 35,927 people convicted of driving under the influence.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has designated the Republic of South Sudan for temporary protected status (TPS) for 18 months, effective November 3, 2011, through May 2, 2013. The 180-day registration period for eligible individuals to submit initial TPS applications began on October 13, 2011, and will remain in effect until April 10, 2012.
This designation allows eligible South Sudan nationals (and those having no nationality who last habitually resided in the region that is now South Sudan) who have continuously resided in the United States since October 7, 2004, to obtain TPS. In addition to demonstrating continuous residence in the United States since October 7, 2004, applicants must demonstrate that they have been continuously physically present in the United States since November 3, 2011.
DHS said this designation is unique because on July 9, 2011, South Sudan became a new nation and independent from the Republic of Sudan, which has been designated for TPS since 1997. Some individuals who are TPS beneficiaries under the current designation of Sudan may now be nationals of South Sudan, calling into question their continued eligibility for TPS under the Sudan designation. These individuals may, however, now qualify for TPS under the South Sudan designation. The 18-month designation of South Sudan coincides with the 18-month extension period of TPS for Sudan, which was also announced on October 13, 2011.
DHS said it recognizes that individuals who have employment authorization documents (EADs) under Sudan TPS that expire on November 2, 2011, may not receive new EADs under South Sudan TPS until after their current EADs expire. Accordingly, the validity of EADs issued under the TPS designation of Sudan has been automatically extended for six months, through May 2, 2012. This automatic extension includes individuals who are now applying for TPS under the designation of South Sudan but were granted TPS and were issued an EAD under the Sudan designation. The notice designating the Republic of South Sudan is available at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2011-10-13/pdf/2011-26537.pdf. The notice announcing the extension of the designation of Sudan for TPS and automatic extension of EADs for Sudanese TPS beneficiaries is available at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2011-10-13/pdf/2011-26538.pdf.Back to Top11. California 'Dream Act' Becomes Law California's Governor Jerry Brown has signed into law the second portion of the California "Dream Act," AB 131, which allows undocumented students to qualify for state-funded scholarships and financial aid for state universities after other legal resident and U.S. citizen students have applied. Gov. Brown said it would enable top students to have "a chance to improve their lives and the lives of all of us." He signed the first portion, AB 130, in July, which allows such students to apply for private scholarships and loans. Currently, undocumented California high school graduates can apply for in-state tuition rates, as can those in 12 other states, including New York, Texas, and Washington.Assemblyman Gil Cedillo (D-Los Angeles) said the legislation will increase California's competitiveness in the global economy and that California "is prepared to lead the country with a positive and productive vision for how we approach challenging issues related to immigration." Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said the new law "invests in the dreams of talented undocumented students and in the economic future of our state." Not everyone in California is on board with the new law, however. Assemblyman Tim Donnelly (R-Hesperia), wants to put an initiative on the ballot to overturn it, calling the new law "absolutely, fundamentally wrong and unfair and...an insult to people who have worked and played by the rules, including those who have come to this country legally." Stay tuned.The text of AB 131 (as enrolled) is available at http://e-lobbyist.com/gaits/text/351864. Back to Top12. Federal Court Halts Parts of Alabama Immigration Law The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit issued an injunction pending appeal on October 14, 2011, blocking certain provisions of Alabama's new immigration law, HB 56. The provisions blocked included requiring the immigration status of students to be checked in public schools and making failure to "complete or carry an alien registration card" a misdemeanor for immigrants. The court allowed Alabama to enforce other controversial provisions, such as requiring that police attempt to determine the immigration status of people stopped who they suspect are unauthorized; barring state courts from enforcing contracts with undocumented individuals if the hiring party knew that the person was in the U.S. unlawfully; and making it a felony for undocumented people to enter into business transactions in Alabama, including applying for a driver's license or business license.The Department of Justice had filed an appeal with the 11th Circuit because of potential negative consequences of the new state law both domestically and internationally, including conflicts with federal responsibilities, discrimination against those legally in the U.S., driving undocumented persons underground or to other states, and affecting diplomatic relations. Advocacy groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union, had filed a separate motion against Alabama's new law. The law is already having an impact in Alabama. For example, reportedly a quarter of commercial building workers have left the state, several thousand students have stopped going to school, and church attendance has dropped. Anecdotal evidence is piling up. The Alabama-based Southern Poverty Law Center, which set up a hotline, received about 2,000 calls so far from people with problems such as being afraid to drive their sick family members to the doctor, being unable to set up water service because water companies were requiring them to prove their legal status, or whose children were being bullied at school. The Department of Justice has also set up a hotline for complaints about the Alabama law, telephone: 1-855-353-1010; e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com. Tomato farmer Jamie Boatwright reported that he has a large crop of tomatoes ripe and ready for picking, but most of his workers have left Alabama. Similarly, the owners of Smith & Smith Farms were struggling with three trucks of workers for harvesting instead of 12. Both farms reported that U.S. workers were mostly either not interested or started working but then quit after a few hours. Meanwhile, contractors are taking longer to rebuild after the spring tornadoes that devastated the Tuscaloosa area. "We're seeing smaller crews and seeing work take longer to accomplish," said Jimmy Latham, president of Alabama Associated General Contractors and a Tuscaloosa contractor.Alabama state Senator Scott Beason, who sponsored the legislation, said he is receiving similar complaints from local businesses experiencing difficulties in finding workers and keeping their businesses going. He asserted that there are sufficient numbers of Americans willing to do the jobs abandoned by undocumented workers, and that the adjustment to the new law will take time. Mr. Boatwright begs to differ, noting that he hasn't been able to attract or retain American workers to his tomato farm and that if he were to raise his wages in an attempt to do so, he would also have to hike the price of his tomatoes and would lose business to neighboring states.The text of the Alabama law is available at http://alisondb.legislature.state.al.us/acas/searchableinstruments/2011rs/bills/hb56.htm. The latest opinion from the 11th Circuit is at http://www.ca11.uscourts.gov/unpub/ops/201114532ord.pdf. The most recent previous court action on the law, enjoining certain provisions but upholding others, is available at http://irli.org/system/files/US%20v%20Alabama%2011-2746%20PInj%20Order_9-28-11.pdf.

USCIS Seeks Comments on Proposed EB-5 Immigrant Investor RuleU.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) seeks public comments on a proposed rule published on September 28, 2011, that would enable the agency to process certain applications approved between 1995 and 1998 by immigrant investors under the fifth preference employment-based (EB-5) immigrant visa classification.The proposed rule would implement provisions of the 21st Century Department of Justice Appropriations Authorization Act that apply to a group of immigrant investors who had a Form I-526, Immigrant Petition by Alien Entrepreneur, approved between January 1, 1995, and August 31, 1998. Specifically, the rule would enable USCIS to process cases for approximately 580 principal immigrant investors and their dependents whose I-526 petitions were approved during that period and who, before November 2, 2002, sought to:
The processes outlined in the proposed rule would provide an additional two-year period for most of these immigrant investors to meet the EB-5 investment and job-creation requirements. This rule would not impact any other applications or petitions filed under the EB-5 program.Comments will be accepted until November 28, 2011, and should be submitted via one of the methods listed in the proposed rule, which is available at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2011-09-28/pdf/2011-24619.pdf. USCIS corrected the docket number for the proposed rule on October 4, 2011; see http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2011-10-04/pdf/2011-25463.pdf.Back to Top14. Customs and Border Protection Discontinues H-2A/2B Exit Program Pilot U.S. Customs and Border Protection has discontinued the H-2A and H-2B Temporary Worker Visa Exit Program Pilot, effective September 29, 2011. The pilot began on December 8, 2009. It required temporary workers in H-2A or H-2B nonimmigrant classifications who enter the United States at the port of San Luis, Arizona, or the port of Douglas, Arizona, to depart (at the time of their final departure) from these respective ports and to submit certain biographical and biometric information at one of the kiosks established for that purpose.The notice is available at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2011-09-29/pdf/2011-24716.pdf.

OCAHO Orders Drywall Company To Pay $173,250 in Penalties The Executive Office for Immigration Review's Office of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer (OCAHO) has ordered Ketchikan Drywall Services, Inc., of the Puget Sound area of Washington, to pay penalties for various I-9 violations. Ketchikan was ordered to pay $770 per violation, for a total of $173,250, for violations such as failure to ensure that employees completed or signed I-9 forms. Among other things, the decision noted that failure to complete an I-9 form is not a mere technical or procedural failure but "is substantive in nature and defeats the purpose of the law." Such substantive violations include, among other things, failing to collect an employee signature; listing the wrong documents to establish identity or employment eligibility; failing to complete the I-9 within three days of hire; and failing to fully complete the form, including the employee attestation that he or she is authorized for employment in the U.S., and regardless of what other documents may have been copied or retained. The decision noted that "[c]opying the documents may well serve to insulate an employer from errors in transcribing the information, but nothing . . . purports to excuse an employer who fails to transcribe any information at all." The decision noted that specific instances of omission when a copy of a document is retained with the form will be considered on a case-by-case basis, but "there is no general rule that omissions are cured by copying documents." The decision, which includes additional details about Ketchikan's various violations, is available at http://www.justice.gov/eoir/OcahoMain/publisheddecisions/Looseleaf/Volume10/1139.pdf. Back to Top16. Justice Dept. Sues California Healthcare Provider for Discrimination The Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a lawsuit on September 30, 2011, against Generations Healthcare, a provider with skilled nursing facilities throughout California, alleging that it engaged in a pattern or practice of discrimination by imposing unnecessary documentary requirements on naturalized U.S. citizens and non-U.S. citizens to work in the U.S. The Department noted that employers are prohibited by law from placing additional burdens on work-authorized employees during the process of hiring or when verifying their employment eligibility based on their citizenship status or national origin.The DOJ's investigation found that the company demanded that a work-authorized applicant produce a permanent resident card, also known as a "green card." The applicant did not have a green card and instead presented an employment authorization document. The company rejected her valid documentation because it had a future expiration date and told her that it could not hire her to work at its St. Francis Pavilion facility unless she presented a green card. As a result, the applicant was unable to obtain employment with the company.The department's investigation also revealed that Generations Healthcare required all newly hired non-U.S. citizens and naturalized U.S. citizens at its St. Francis Pavilion facility to present specific and extra work authorization documents beyond those required by federal law to prove their status, a burden that was not placed on native-born U.S. citizens. "Employers are not allowed to impose more burdensome employment eligibility verification procedures on certain workers based on their citizenship status," noted Thomas E. Perez, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division. The DOJ's media release announcing the lawsuit is available at http://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/2011/September/11-crt-1301.html. Back to Top17. ABIL Global: Italy Requires Fingerprints for North AfricansItaly now requires fingerprints for short-term visas (business and tourism) for North Africans, as part of a larger European Union effort. As of October 11, 2011, the Italian consulates in Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco and Tunisia now require fingerprints for individuals applying for short-term Schengen visas (maximum of 90 days for business and tourism). This is intended to improve border control and to expedite the issuance of future visas to those already registered in the Schengen Visa Information System (VIS). It is expected that this requirement will be enforced in other Italian consulates in the Schengen Area within the next two years. Other European Union (EU) consulates are following suit, as part of a larger EU effort to include fingerprints of visa applicants from North African countries in a database that connects all 25 countries in the Schengen "border-free" zone.

Now that you can buy an APS-C camera with an 18MP resolution for a few hundred pounds, many full frame DSLRs offer over 20MP and some medium format cameras are resolving as much as 60MP, there's a real need for large capacity media. Add into the mix high Megapixel RAW burst modes and the advent of DSLR video and there's an equal need for speed. Sandisk soundly answer both of these needs with its Extreme Pro series which are available in capacities of 16GB, 32GB and 64GB. Continue reading »

365 Group Acrylic Clapperboard
Once upon a time, if you wanted to make a movie, you'd need a sound recordist to capture audio to tape (as film doesn't record sound) and a clapperboard to enable you to sync them up in post. Then along came video (which magically captures both sound and pictures to the same medium) and the clapperboard went out of the window with the baby, the bathwater and the bath. But that wasn't the end of the story because the advent of the HD DSLR has meant that filmmakers once again have the need for clapperboards. So where do you go when you want a clapperboard…Clapperboard.com? Almost…Clapperboard.net actually! Visit the site and you'll see a dizzying array of clapperboards by '365 Group' costing from £15 to £1500. I tested their most popular model, the 'Acrylic clapperboard with black & white sticks 280mm x 240mm', which, at £39.99 represents excellent value for money. Continue reading »
Akai Professional APC40 Ableton Live Controller
Ableton Live is something of a dichotomy. For live performance and remixing it provides the best possible software interface…which is seriously constrained by the worst possible hardware interface…a screen and a mouse. And if that's not bad enough, running Live on a laptop, on stage, makes it look more like you're surfing the web than performing. The answer is a control surface that frees you from the prison of the computer and lets you play 'Live'. Although there are plenty of these around, until recently, none were optimal or optimised for working with Live. However, Akai Professional's dedicated Live controller, the APC40, changes this.

Vincent Laforet is a highly successful and award winning photographer who, back in 2008, managed to get hold of a prototype Canon 5D MKII for a weekend.

I leave for the my race the day after tomorrow. The nerves are starting to get to me....eeek!
This week has been pretty easy, running-wise. Monday was 4.85mi in 45min with some 30sec pickups scattered throughout. Today was 3.2mi in 30min. Now I only have one more run left before my race - 20min Friday morning before I leave. That's it! I've only put about 275mi into training for this race and I'm hoping it's going to be enough.
Yesterday I walked a total of 5 miles to the vet and back with my dog Mika. She had to go for her annual checkup and some shots. Then in the evening, I went to the pool for a swim. The base triathlon team was having a meeting/practice and they invited me to join in. Silly me, I had no idea what I was in for. To start, we tread water for about 25min straight. And we passed a brick around for a while too. Then we swam a bit and did some drills, but mostly we tread water. My shins are killing me today as a result. Thank goodness my cardio is in tip-top shape or I wouldn't have survived all that treading water.
Here's a picture of Miss Mika, just for fun.
Best wishes to you. Awesome dog also.
Rock on and keep on running.....
25 minutes treading water with a brick?! Yeeesh. That's a workout!
Love your husky!!!!! How old is she?
She just turned 5 on Monday. That picture is actually an old picture from when she was about a year old. Her mask has changed a bit over the years. She's much prettier now
Good luck!
I love the dog
You are more than ready. All that is left to do is go celebrate with a great race.
Good luck!!
Run on everyone.....................Steve
Good luck in the race. ( you have a very cute little puppy)
I had to do something similar when I wanted to get scuba certified many years ago. Treading water for a couple of minutes is pretty easy -- when it starts getting that long then it gets to be pretty interesting.
Sounds like a brutal workout. Thanks for the gratuitous doggie pic and good luck with your race.
Run fun! ~Mike
Hey Good Luck on the Race! Glad to see you're back on the Loop and hear from you! (I've been gone a bit myself lately)...
Life's a Journey...Enjoy the Ride!

Hope Children's Hospital specializes in pediatrics. It provides treatment for kids up to the age of 12 years. It has a bed strength of 100 and functions round the clock.
Situated in the centre of the city the hospital in a joke.The doctors look silly,and the nureses inexperienced.The hospital is OK for simple cough an cold illnesses but definitely NOT for sick kids.
charges exorbitant amounts of money for so called "intensive care" while there are no faclities or quipments to match a proper high end hospital.no cleanliness and under qualified and under trained doctors
Hopeless hospital.No facility for really sick children if you comapre it with hospitals like Rainbow or Apollo.No infection control policy.Its surprising how even in today's day a hopeless hospital like this can still be allowed to work!!
The doctor's are very sincere. They kept us well informed at every stage, and the diagnosis was impeccable. I would recommend this hospital to anyone with a sick child. I have not found the care and concern shown to an individual patient at Hope, in any other hospital in town.

Sage Lewis | August 10, 2010 | Comments
People searching online have always been ahead of the people offering the search results. Maybe it's time to change that.
When I started my company in 1999, I never dreamed farmers and seed companies would be a major part of my business.
But today, that's the case. I'm doing a surprising amount of work in those fields (haha).
Last week, I did an all day workshop for the Iowa Women in Agriculture. The topic was focused on social media. These women farmers were highly focused using the Web for promoting very specific aspects of their farm.
One woman told a story of an order for beef that fell through. She put an offer for the beef up on her Facebook page to see if anyone else was interested. She immediately sold it. She said she could have sold twice what she had.
Look at some of these search numbers for seed-related phrases:
|Global Monthly Searches
|seed corn
|soybean corn
|organic soybean
|corn soybeans
|hybrid seed corn
|soybean varieties
|roundup soybean
I used the Google Keyword Tool to find those phrases.
These are very niche phrases with a surprising number of searches. Some of these phrases, like "soybean varieties," "roundup soybean," and "hybrid seed corn" are phrases that would most likely only be used by people within the farming industry. They aren't typically how an outsider to the industry would search.
Additionally, the Free Keyword Tool from Wordstream pulls up even more niche phrases. It showed me over 1,500 phrases with the phrase "seed corn." That phrase (and not "corn seed") is important because that's how farmers typically refer to it.
Here are some of those phrases:
dekalb seed corn
seed corn companies
lg seed corn
seed corn treatment
seed corn idaho
seed corn for sale
seed corn dealers idaho
seed corn dealers
seed corn canada
roundup ready seed corn
pioneer seed corn
zimmerman seed corn evansville indiana
These are very targeted, incredibly niche phrases. These are phrases that are being done by people who are late in the buying cycle, are narrowing down their buying decisions, and are getting ready to make a choice.
Chances are, you aren't in the farming or seed business. But there is a chance that you might be in an industry where you think "social media and search engine marketing isn't for me."
A recent study from the Yankee Group commissioned by Siemens Enterprise Communications found that "70 Percent of Consumers Want to Interact Via Social Media. Yet Only 30 Percent of Companies are Ready For It."
And back in March of 2009, Conductor did a study that found only 20.82 percent of Fortune 500 companies rank in the top 100 of natural search results. This included phrases with their own name!
I was recently teaching a two-day search engine optimization class at Cleveland State University...something I've been doing for several years. The class I was teaching only had three students in it. I asked the class why they thought that was. Their response was that they thought it was "just so new."
I've been doing search engine optimization since 1999 in my own company. And I wasn't anywhere near the first group of people to be doing it. SEO (define) being "new" was a shocker to me.
My experience has been that the people searching have always been ahead of the people offering the search results.
People are clearly looking for seed companies online. But this fact is a brand new concept to most seed companies.
Chances are very good that someone who is reading this column works for a company that isn't capitalizing on the Web marketing traffic that's going on right now.
The "Iowa Sweet Corn" Facebook page has over 106,000 fans. It's all about sweet corn in Iowa, and 106,000 want to know about it. If all those people are interested in corn, could there be people who are interested in what you sell?
I'm telling you, your industry is likely being researched online right now.
I also suspect that, if you are reading this column, I may be preaching to the choir. You may already know what I'm talking about. But people higher up in your company could be completely unaware of what is happening.
My suggestion is to try either of those key phrase research tools I mentioned. Look for some possible key phrases that people might be using to search for your product or service. Take a handful of these phrases. Put them in a simple e-mail. And send them off to someone in your marketing department (the higher the better).
You could say something like: "Did you know that the phrase 'hybrid seed corn' was searched 1,900 times in Google last month? We are nowhere to be found on those listings. Let me know if you would like to talk about how we could solve that problem."
You could be a real hero in your organization.
Oh...and if you don't know exactly how to solve the problem, don't worry. There are tons of great resources on this site to help you move along the Internet marketing path.

Tuesday May 27, 2014Gators Lack 'Wow' Factor, But They Know How to Win
As the No. 2 overall seed, the Gators hope to keep on winning this weekend in the Gainesville Regional.
As the No. 2 overall seed, the Gators hope to keep on winning this weekend in the Gainesville Regional.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. –The Florida baseball team, after 12 days on the road, finally arrived back to campus around 4 a.m. Monday.
Several hours earlier in Hoover, Ala., the Gators boarded a bus for home following a 2-0 loss to LSU in the SEC Tournament championship game.
They were foggy and bleary-eyed by the time they made it home from their journey, first a three-game series at Tennessee and then the SEC Tournament. But by mid-Monday afternoon the Gators had reason to be rejuvenated when it was announced they were the No. 2 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament.
In a season that started with ample questions and few concrete answers, the Gators built an identity that resulted in the program's first SEC regular-season title in three seasons.
"We just know how to win, that's it,'' junior catcher Taylor Gushue said. "We're not going to impress you with a whole bunch of 'wow' factors, but take our 40-win season and the hardest schedule in the nation to be your 'wow' factor. It's just one of those things that we just got done this year.
"I feel like our team is one of the best teams out there and we definitely deserved the seed we got."
Trying to decipher Florida's code for winning is a tricky proposition.
The Gators led the SEC in saves (20) and tied for second in defense (.975 fielding percentage), but otherwise, they rank in the middle of the pack in nearly all of the major statistical categories: .267 team batting average (11th), 3.26 ERA (seventh), 26 home runs (tied for sixth) and 34 home runs allowed (13th).
However, perhaps the most important statistic tied to Florida's success – and certainly in the NCAA's high opinion of Coach Kevin O'Sullivan's team – is Florida's strength of schedule.
The Gators faced the most difficult schedule in the nation according to the NCAA's rankings.
Named SEC Coach of the Year on Tuesday for the second time in his seven seasons, O'Sullivan planned it that way from the very first series of the season.
The Gators opened at home with a three-game series against Maryland, the No. 2 seed in the Columbia (S.C.) Regional. The first pitch from Terps ace Jake Stinnett clocked 94 mph, setting a tone that whatever the Gators earned in 2014 would not come easily.
When the SEC schedule rolled around, the Gators were already battle tested in a conference that sent a record 10 teams to the NCAA Tournament.
While there were grumbles from Florida fans and the media following the release of Monday's tournament bracket – should the Gators advance past this weekend's Gainesville Regional they could potentially face state rival Miami in the tournament for the fourth time in seven years – O'Sullivan told the Gators to focus on what they can control and nothing else.
Florida returned to practice Tuesday after taking Memorial Day off.
"You get to Omaha, it's not going to be easy,'' O'Sullivan said. "There is no easy road. You've got to play really good teams. At the end of the day, you've got to beat good teams if you want to be one of the eight teams playing in Omaha."
The Gators open Friday night against College of Charleston. North Carolina and Long Beach State play the first game.
Under O'Sullivan the Gators are 12-0 at home in regional play and 21-11 overall in the NCAA Tournament, which includes three consecutive trips to the College World Series from 2010-12.
However, last season they went 0-2 in the Bloomington (Ind.) Regional to finish 29-30 and prompt questions about which way they would go in 2014.
Up was the final answer.
"We've come a long way,'' O'Sullivan said. "I told our team, this is probably a regional we need. We tend to play up to our competition or sometimes down to our competition, so I'm exciting about it. I'd say it probably takes some the guesswork out on who you throw opening night."
That means right-hander Logan Shore (7-3, 1.99 ERA) is expected to start against College of Charleston on Friday.
After Shore, O'Sullivan will stick to the plan that got the Gators this far.
"We haven't really looked at anything else other than the game in front of us,'' he said. "We've probably been one of the only teams in the country that has gone Shore, TBA, TBA, toward the last three weeks. I don't know why we should change things now."
Left-hander Bobby Poyner (5-3, 3.44 ERA) will factor into the mound equation at some point this weekend.
Poyner is a holdover from 2013 and has experienced the highs and lows of the postseason. He pitched in the College World Series as a freshman and didn't make it into a game as Florida's season came to a quick end in Bloomington.
Poyner is confident this year's Florida team can continue to surprise the way it has done all season.
"We're very happy with where we're at,'' he said. "Last year was rough. We had to put it behind us. Everybody is feeling pretty good about themselves and that's what you want going into regionals."

B&H is great for buying supplies, but do check out Lens & Repro if you want to see a little camera museum along with piles and piles of really cool camera gear. They have a display case that fills the better part of a wall full of rare and unique cameras including special edition Rolleis, Leicas and Hasselblads. They also have tons of original prints on the walls from many of the great photographers of the 20th century.

La Cintura di Orione Frying Pan
Note: This product is no longer available.
Design by Richard Sapper and Gualtiero Archesi, 2006.
By Alessi.
The flambè pan is a metal utensil which is usually round and shallow, with sloping sides and a long wooden handle. The lamp is a tall, cylindrically-shaped utensil, composed of an alcohol reservoir, a wick burner and a grid on which to place the pan (or another vessel) for side-table cooking. The most noteworthy feature of this lamp (a spirit or alcohol burner, as in the traditional model) is its having been designed as a highly professional tool. In the first place, as flambèing is a very fast way of cooking, it is possible to obtain a wide, easily controlled range of flame, from very high to very low, depending on requirements. The reservoir's capacity ensures a lasting supply of fuel. The upper grid of heavy concentric discs can be used for other vessels besides the traditional pan. It is made entirely of stainless steel, giving it optimal resistance - a very important consideration given its use. The flambè pan, on the other hand, is made of heavy gauge copper with a thin layer of stainless steel inside. The handle is wooden, joined by a stainless steel investment casting. Special attention has been given to the design of the cross-section of the wooden part, so that it has a comfortable grip, and is safe and easy to handle.
Lids sold separately.
Material(s): Aluminum with non-stick coating and handles in 18/10 stainless steel
Dimensions: Small 9.4"Dia X 1.7"H
Designer: Richard Sapper
Born in Munich in 1932, he studied philosophy, anatomy, graphics, engineering and economics. Ten times winner of the Compassi d'Oro, his prime interest is the design of technically complex objects, from ships to watches.View other products by Richard Sapper

Manufacturer: Alessi
Alessi is a family owned Italian design company, founded in 1921. Giovanni Alessi, a talented sheet metal worker, produced items by hand for the table and home out of copper, brass and nickel-silver. He was later joined by his son Carlo who was responsible for many of the designs produced in the 1930s and early 1940s. In the mid 1940s Alessi began to work with outside designers. The current Alessi catalog is the result of a collaboration with over 500 designers from all over the world.
"A true work of design must be able to move people, to convey feelings, to trigger memories, to surprise, to go against the grain. From this point of view, design intended to conjure up images in people's minds, which makes them a bit happier, still has tremendous potential." — Alberto AlessiView other products from Alessi
