No surprise
Why is anyone surprised at the release of the five Taliban leaders for one army deserter? Why is anyone surprised at the EPA threatening to close the coal mines and subsequently the power plants that use that coal? Why is anyone surprised that the southern border of the United States is overrun by tens of thousands of illegal aliens coming, and that the rate is set to increase by tens of thousands in 2015?
Why is anyone surprised that 92 million Americans are not working, that taxes are killing those of us who still pay them, that the economy nationwide is at a standstill?
Why is anyone surprised that the administration currently in the White House is involved in so many shameful scandals, i.e., Fast and Furious, IRS targeting of conservatives, the NSA spying on us, the murder of 30 American Seals in a setup for the enemy, the abandonment of American citizens in Benghazi, the catering and kowtowing to muslim extremists, the abandonment of our allies and the arming and embracing of our enemies, the shredding of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, the treatment of our veterans and current servicemen, the destruction of our health care, the dumbing down in our schools, the refusal to enforce the laws pertaining to our border with Mexico, the PC mentality that pervades every aspect of our lives?
Why am I not surprised? Because I listened to Obama's speeches when he was running for the democratic nomination in 2008. He promised that all of these things would happen.
In 2008, I could not believe that people were listening to these declarations for the destruction of America and not fighting this agenda with their heart and soul. Instead, a fossil ran against Obama in 2008, one who wouldn't even mention Obama's middle name, Hussein, because it might cause bad feelings. Then in 2012, a decent man and extraordinary businessman and leader ran for the Oval Office and was vilified and criticized to the point where all the simple people could see was that he was a Mormon and that he would make us all become Mormons.
I used to have great faith in the American people as a whole, but that faith is gone. Too few think for themselves or concern themselves with current affairs, while the enemies who live in this country work day and night to destroy what it took four hundred years to build.
Are there no leaders left who believe in the pre-2008 America, when it was our goal to protect our citizens here and abroad, to grow our economy, to create jobs instead of strangling regulations, to use to our advantage the marvelous natural resources that we have in oil, gas, coal, and water? We no longer stand firm with our allies, or show our enemies that our power can destroy them, if need be. We have become an anathema to the people who fought and died for the freedoms we once enjoyed. With the leadership in the nation's capitol, in the year of our Lord 2014, why am I not surprised.
Alma M. Womack, Jonesville

Moxibustion and other acupuncture point stimulation methods to treat breech presentation: a systematic review of clinical trials

2 Centre for the History of Medicine, Peking University, Beijing, PR China
3 School of Preclinical Medicine, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, Beijing, PR China
4 National Research Centre in Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NAFKAM), University of Tromsø, Tromsø, Norway
Chinese Medicine 2009, 4:4 doi:10.1186/1749-8546-4-4Published: 27 February 2009
Moxibustion, acupuncture and other acupoint stimulations are commonly used for the correction of breech presentation. This systematic review aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of moxibustion and other acupoint stimulations to treat breech presentation.
We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and controlled clinical trials (CCTs) on moxibustion, acupuncture or any other acupoint stimulating methods for breech presentation in pregnant women. All searches in PubMed, the Cochrane Library (2008 Issue 2), China National Knowledge Information (CNKI), Chinese Scientific Journal Database (VIP) and WanFang Database ended in July 2008. Two authors extracted and analyzed the data independently.
Ten RCTs involving 2090 participants and seven CCTs involving 1409 participants were included in the present study. Meta-analysis showed significant differences between moxibustion and no treatment (RR 1.35, 95% CI 1.20 to 1.51; 3 RCTs). Comparison between moxibustion and knee-chest position did not show significant differences (RR 1.30, 95% CI 0.95 to 1.79; 3 RCTs). Moxibustion plus other therapeutic methods showed significant beneficial effects (RR 1.36, 95% CI 1.21 to 1.54; 2 RCTs). Laser stimulation was more effective than assuming the knee-chest position plus pelvis rotating. Moxibustion was more effective than no treatment (RR 1.29, 95% CI 1.17 to 1.42; 2 CCTs) but was not more effective than the knee-chest position treatment (RR 1.22, 95% CI 1.11 to 1.34; 2 CCTs). Laser stimulation at Zhiyin (BL67) was more effective than the knee-chest position treatment (RR 1.30, 95% CI 1.10 to 1.54; 2 CCTs,).
Moxibustion, acupuncture and laser acupoint stimulation tend to be effective in the correction of breech presentation.

Today we're going to talk about branding strategies and how they help to develop your local business voice.
What's a local business voice, you ask? It's a unique verbal personality that effectively communicates your company's vision and product or skill set. It's a branding strategy that should remain consistent across all marketing channels. Not sure how to develop the right voice for your local business? Here's a quick guide.
4 Questions to Ask Yourself
- What are you selling? Your brand positioning has a lot to do with your specific product or local business specialty. You're not going to brand yourself with a conversational and lighthearted company voice if you're selling microchips. Likewise, a straightforward and authoritative verbal personality might not attract the right customers if you're working in the spa business, for example. Tailor your local business' branding strategies and company voice to fit your industry.
- Who is your audience? Take some time to map out your ideal customer. What is their age group? Where are they located and what kind of values do they hold? And, the most important question to ask for your local business' branding strategies: What do they want from you? The first three questions will help you in developing a company voice and the last one is the first step in creating the right online content strategy.
- Who are you? As a local business owner, your brand identity and company voice should stay true to you. Don't forget that you are the face of the company and when people buy your services or products, they are also buying into you. So think about how you explain your local business to friends and family in person. Find a way to incorporate this into your brand identity. People love authenticity.
- What do you want to achieve? Besides sales and income, what is the main goal of your local business? Do you want to educate customers on a particular topic? Are you looking to engage people in an online community? Your company voice and branding strategy should clearly communicate these goals.
Key things to remember:
- Consistency is crucial. Your company voice should be applied across your entire brand identity. This may include your website, brochures, advertisements, and even the way in which employees communicate with clients.
- When your company voice is developed and used in the right way, it can strengthen brand loyalty and set your local business apart from the competition.
- A company voice guideline sheet helps to keep things consistent across the board.

USL News Release
Thursday, August 19, 2010
TAMPA, Fla. – The third edition of the USL W-League Combine, featuring Women's Professional Soccer (WPS) and other professional and international coaches, is set for December 16-19, 2010. One of the showcase developmental events for women's soccer in North America, the 2010 W-League Combine will be hosted at the world-class facilities of IMG Academies in Bradenton, Florida.
The purpose of the event is to provide elite women's players an avenue to showcase their talents in the hopes of earning an opportunity at the top professional levels. USL National Technical Director Peter Mellor will work alongside USL staff to develop a comprehensive curriculum that challenges participants while providing coaches with the proper environment for evaluation. This year's upgraded event is a product of USL's increased focus on the development of women's soccer at all levels in North America.
A total of 96 elite-level women's soccer players will be selected to attend the combine, which will include high-level training conducted by professional coaches. A total of 25 players from the two previous combines have played in WPS, while more than 60 percent of current WPS players have W-League experience.
"The W-League Combine has been one of the most important annual scouting events for our coaches and teams over the past few years," WPS COO Mary Harvey said. "The level of talent that assembles in one place is fantastic and WPS teams will continue to use this event to help build out their rosters for the following season and beyond."
Players invited to the 2010 USL W-League Combine will be selected through an application process, which begins today at www.uslsoccer.com/wcombine/ and will run through November 26. USL will utilize the recommendations of Mellor, W-League members, WPS and domestic and international coaches in the selection of W-League and other elite female players to participate in the combine. Of the 96 players invited, 12 will be goalkeepers (an increase from six in the past) who will be asked to arrive a day early for a special technical session to be conducted by Mellor. A complete schedule for the event will be available soon.
"I am excited that the 2010 W-League Combine will be able to make use of IMG's wonderful new nine-field facility," Mellor said. "It is important that we provide our combine participants with the best soccer fields and soccer environment for them to perform at their highest levels. We are adding international club coaches to assist our W-League coaches in managing the combine teams, which will give our players the opportunity to showcase themselves for not only W-League and WPS scouts, but international professional club scouts as well."
Called "the country's most comprehensive playground for athletes in training" by Sports Illustrated, IMG Academies features world-class playing surfaces, strength and conditioning facilities, video lecture halls and resident and dining halls. Located on 400 pristine acres in Bradenton, IMG Academies is the world's most prestigious training destination and features unmatched on-site facilities.
Players participating in the 2010 W-League Combine will have full use of all soccer facilities and locker rooms as well as the Sports Performance Center for classroom instruction and presentations. Lunch and dinner will be provided at the student dining hall.

CBOE Volatility Index (.VIX) $15.08 -0.92%
VIX is off .13 to 15.09 and trading in the options on the index is busy on expiration Wednesday. The settlement value for the October contract is 15.96, which is above the index's highs of the day (15.63) and considerably (13.8 percent) above the Sept settlement of 14.03. Total open interest in the VIX October options was 3.42 million contracts heading into the expiration and, of that, 2.45 million contracts (71.6% of the total) are out-of-the-money call options. Now, some of the focus is turning to the November contracts. Morning trades include a Nov 21 – 25 call "stupid" spread, in which both legs of the spread were bought 21000X. The calls are tied to a position in the futures on the index and is a strategy repeated every term, according to a source on the exchange floor. Meanwhile, deep out-of-the-money [DOOM] November 55 calls are the most actives in the VIX pit today. One player paid a nickel per contract for 34,000. More than 52,000 traded. Note that 136,500 Oct 60 calls expired worthless today and so today's activity in the Nov 55 calls is possibly a roll of a longer-term hedge — i.e. tail risk trade. Total volume in the product so far is 254K calls and 66K puts.

Envoy suspected of beating daughterComment on this story
Arlington, Virginia - Equatorial Guinea's ambassador to the United States is suspected of beating his daughter with a wooden chair leg, leaving her hospitalised, but he was not arrested because he has diplomatic immunity, police said on Wednesday.
Police in the Washington suburb of Arlington, Virginia, responded on Monday to a 911 call of a "malicious wounding" at the ambassador's diplomatic residence, and found a juvenile with a large laceration to her head and other injuries, said Arlington Police Department spokesman Dustin Sternbeck.
The girl had been beaten with the wooden leg of a chair and required hospitalisation, he said.
"After interviewing people in the residence, we determined the ambassador was the primary suspect," Sternbeck said. Police did not disclose the girl's age.
The diplomatic residence is home to Ruben Maye Nsue Mangue, the ambassador from Equatorial Guinea, a Central African country of about 740 000 people, according to the embassy website. He was appointed to the post in 2013.
Police, which do not have jurisdiction in cases involving diplomats, did not make an arrest and informed the US State Department, which will handle any further action, Sternbeck said.
A spokesman for the State Department said officials were aware of the incident and "deeply concerned by the alleged assault".
"The State Department has been in close touch with the local authorities regarding the welfare of the victim and possible charges against the alleged perpetrator," he said.
The spokesman said the department was not at liberty to discuss the case further.
The Equatorial Guinea Embassy did not immediately respond to a phone call seeking comment. - Reuters

Mucky Pup - Alive & Well (1993)
"We made these recordings during our '93 tours of Europe. This CD was our answer to the bad bootlegs that have been circulating. We included all the fun cool things that we like about our shows. There are also some studio cover songs we never released before. "Darling Nikki" - by Prince and "Nothing Can Come Between Us" - by Sade. Just remember it's not meant to be an audiophile recording - it's a band playing, drinking and having fun in the clubs of Europe."

Mucky Pup - Act of Faith (1990)
"This was our first of two records for Century Media Records. They (CMR) had just signed The Cro-Mags and at the time it seemed like a good idea. We made videos for "mr. hand" and "freakin'" neither of which ever aired in the U.S.
You might notice the back of the CD box has the same art as the LP. Hence "SIDE A" numbered 1-6 and "SIDE B" 1-6. The odd thing is - there aren't two sides to a CD.
We also did a whole bunch of great tours with Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine . Their audience always does this chant of "You Fat Bastard" so when they come and see us opening the show they were just Too, Too happy. All was pretty cool till the Brixton Academy. The show was sold out long before we were invited to play so the crowd was not so enthused to see us. Let's just say we were glad that the beer was served in plastic cups and not bottles. The stage was basically a "slip and slide" of beer. And the chant of "You Fat Bastard" was louder than the P.A. So in retaliation I took my clothes off. Junior got a pretty serious 220 volt shock from the bass amp not being grounded properly. After he came back from the hospital we all had a good laugh. Most of the other shows went much better. really they did.... really I swear."

Mucky Pup - NOW (1989)
"By this time we were touring our collective asses off and lovin'it. We did shows with Primus, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Murphy's Law, Bad Brains, 24-7, Scatterbrain, etc. The video for "hippies..." was by far our best video but was never aired. The cover photo shoot was done with a 10ft x 10ft piece of 1 inch plate glass. We all know Plexiglass would scratch) This sheet of glass was over 500 pounds and a pain in the ass to move, so after the shoot we smashed it with the back of a hammer and it collapsed into an easily sweepable pile of nuggets. $1200 of plate glass nuggets. This was our last record for Torrid and Roadrunner Records. We also found a manager. finally."

1. Re: Strange Text BehaviourNoel Carboni Apr 1, 2012 2:50 PM (in response to skartov)
Well captured - it's easy to reproduce doing what you did. Definitely looks like a regression bug, since Photoshop CS5 didn't do that.
2. Re: Strange Text Behaviourcharles badland Apr 1, 2012 5:51 PM (in response to Noel Carboni)
Yeah. There was another post not too long ago that demonstrated similar behavior in CS6 with text layers.
Actually it was a post in another Forum that referenced this. But yes this is a reproducible bug.
3. Re: Strange Text BehaviourPattie F Apr 1, 2012 8:22 PM (in response to skartov)
I will also try to reproduce this and will log a bug if it turns out we have an issue.
Thanks for the heads up!
4. Re: Strange Text Behaviourskartov Apr 1, 2012 9:50 PM (in response to Pattie F)
Hi there,
One more video: http://screencast.com/t/Y9Up1tyuP , which is case of the main video I posted earlier. Same issue but tested with texts with different sizes.
5. Re: Strange Text BehaviourPattie F Apr 2, 2012 12:51 PM (in response to skartov)
From the video, I could not tell exactly how you made the layers, it looked like you made one text layer and duplicated it, then duplicated the two and transformed the second two before selecting them all and setting the font size.
I tried doing something similar on both CS5 and CS6 and both behave basically the same. Once you have transformed the text, the transform stays, even when you change the font size.
What were your expectations when you transformed and then tried to set all the transformed and not transformed layers to one font size?
Were you expecting them all to be the standard font at the designated size and for it to undo the transform on the two transformed layers?
6. Re: Strange Text Behaviourcharles badland Apr 2, 2012 2:27 PM (in response to Pattie F)
Not to answer for Simeon, but this is different behavior in PsCS6. Say you scale two text layers (for example- 10 pt scaled 200%) and commit the scale. When you target each layer individually, the pt size reflects the scale (so it will appear around 20 pt). However. if you target BOTH text layers the font size is indicated as 10 pt - the original size before the scale. One would expect if you target 2 text layers of same font and size, the Character Panel would show the correct size, as happens in PsCS5.
Steps to reproduce:
Open default RGB 8 bit document.
Select Type tool at default settings 12pt type. Type a word and commit type.
Type another word at same font and commit (you'll now have two text layers, same font and size)
Target both text layers and Edit>Transform>Scale 200%. Commit the transform.
When each layer is targeted individually, the Type Tool Option bar (or Character Panel) shows the new, scaled size of 24pt
Shift click to target both the 24pt text layers… now Type Tool Option bar reverts to show 12 pt.
Expected behavior: that the Option Bar would show the new pt size of the two layers.
7. Re: Strange Text Behaviourskartov Apr 2, 2012 2:36 PM (in response to charles badland)
Hi there,
Thank you Charles!
Pattie, Charles descirbed the issue verry good.
Try to reproduce these steps on CS6 and CS5 , you will find that Expected behaviour ,like Charles says, will be this on CS5 and it have to be like this in CS6.
8. Re: Strange Text BehaviourPattie F Apr 2, 2012 5:09 PM (in response to skartov)
Thanks guys for the clarification. I have performed these steps on CS5 and CS6 and do understand what you see. I will report back once I investigate further the cause.
9. Re: Strange Text Behaviourskartov Apr 2, 2012 11:07 PM (in response to Pattie F)
Hi Pattie,
Looking further to see the desicisions of the team. Bear in mind that this is very important stuff, as in my practice (and I'm sure that this is the case for many more people) qiute often I'm trying to unify texts size, copying measures , overall dealing with text:)
Thank you!
10. Re: Strange Text BehaviourPattie F Apr 3, 2012 11:00 AM (in response to skartov)
Hi all-
I can reproduce this and I have logged a bug on this one. Thanks for all the feedback. You guys are great!

Training Report: Kickball with Chivas USA
A day before a game, there's nothing ordinary about a Chivas USA training session. While the team and coaches work hard to perfect the work plan during the rest of the week, it's the day before a game that they take a light day to have fun with recreational exercises that boost team chemistry.
On Friday morning, aside from working on fitness and passing exercises, the team held a four-inning kickball game. In the first inning, the yellow team was able to come out with seven homeruns, and ending with nine points. Meanwhile, the red team was unable to add points in the first two innings, but almost caught up to the yellow team in the last inning, for a total of seven points. The winning team (the yellow team), was rewarded by Coach Chelis with TV sets and GPS navigation systems.
Saturday's game will be the first time Chivas USA match-up with Colorado in MLS, but the second of the year; the Red-and-White earned a 3-0 win in mid-February in a preseason match held in Las Vegas. The Rapids earned their first victory of the season last week in the second leg of the Rocky Mountain Cup against Real Salt Lake. Meanwhile, Chivas USA will look to extend the four-game unbeaten streak.
"Like every other game, we have to focus on us and to continue what we're doing," Avila told cdchivasusa.com. "We have to worry about ourselves really, we're on a good streak right now and we want to keep continue working. The training this week has been good and we have to focus on Saturday's game only."
Fans will be able to follow the game on Twitter (@ChivasGameday); fans living within the Los Angeles area can watch the game by clicking here.

What We Believe
We believe the Bible is the divinely inspired and authoritative Word of God.
We believe in one God who eternally exists in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ who, being fully God, became fully man. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on a cross, and was raised from the dead.
We believe all humans rebel against God and deserve the punishment of death.
We believe that salvation from the penalty of death is made possible only because Jesus Christ died as a sin offering in our place.
We believe this salvation is offered as a gift to those who believe in Jesus Christ. Since it is a gift, it cannot be earned.
We believe the Holy Spirit lives in the Christian. He empowers us to live a life of holiness, as well as guides, comforts, and assists us in prayer.
We believe there is one church which consists of all Christians.
We believe Jesus will personally come again with His angels and appear to all. The dead will be raised and all will stand before the throne of God to be judged for the life they have lived on this earth.
We believe these convictions make a difference in the way we should live.

Isco On His Way To Arsenal? Could Wenger Be Considering A Change Of Formation Finally?
It seems Arsenal's tupsy turvy season is a cloud with a silver lining. Wenger has set machinery in motion to beef up the squad by targeting top players if reports are to be believed. While we are still grappling with the news of the club closing in on agreeing a deal for highly rated Marseille defender Nicholas N'Koulou, another 'goodnews' is hitting us like a thunderbolt. The media is reporting that Arsenal have turned their attention to Malaga's highly rated Spanish international Isco. It seems Wenger is keen on a top creative player. In the winter window, news were rife that Wenger was closing in on Mario Goetze and had even agreed a deal, a record breaking one for the Dortmund man to move to the Emirates in the summer but it seems Dortmund are developing cold feet to allow their sensation depart and Wenger doesn't want to be disappointed, he is lining up a good back-up and in Isco, that back-up isn't a bad one.
If Wenger succeeds in pulling off a deal for Isco whether as a replacement for Goetze or in addition to him, it would be a huge coup considering the calibre of top teams jostling for the dimunitive midfielder's signature; Chelsea and Manchester City.
In the event of Isco's arrival, what does that portend for the team in terms of first team opportunities and tactical formation? Isco plays in the advance attacking role either on the wings or behind the striker and in the current Arsenal set-up, those roles are currently been occupied by Wilshere, Cazorla, Gervinho, Walcott and Podolski. Certainly, Wenger wouldn't be willing to expend 30 million pounds on a player only for him to sit on the bench.
Adding a player of Isco's talent to the crop of players we currently have would give us the quality depth we've been clamouring for. Tactically, the arrival of Isco could also signal a switch in formation. For years, Wenger has stuck rigidly to 4-3-3 formation. This formation has worked in it's own little way but with it, we seem not to be getting the best out of our current players especially Giroud and Walcott.
Walcott has reiterated perpetually that he is a striker and wants to play as one not forgotten on the wings but the Englishman is too petite to play as a lone forward through the center. He has pace but too short to be an aerial threat for center backs. In the games he has played through the center, he has been easily curtailed. A classical example is the one against Bayern at the Emirates, he rarely threatened Dante. While Giroud who is often preferred as the lone center forward is strong and adept aerially but too slow to be a constant nightmare for center backs. Of the two strikers, Walcott has proved this season to be a better finisher owing to his ability to use both feet while Giroud has also proven himself as a striker capable of setting up others to score especially with his deft touch and sublime volley
If you can't eat it in full, you can chop it in half. Since we don't have one player that combines both qualities which are pertinent to succeed as a striker, it wouldn't be a bad idea to play both together and synergise their abilities. The one formation that can achieve this is the 4-4-2. Walcott and Giroud can play through the middle with Giroud supporting Walcott while been supported by 2 traditional wingers. The arrival of Isco would help solve this.
This summer looks set to be one of Arsenal's busiest in a long while both in players coming in and also going. In the attacking department of the team, there is bound to exodus; Arshavin, Chamakh, Bendtner. Hence, the arrival of Isco is more of a necessity than a luxury.
One player that's likely to suffer dearth of opportunities if and when Isco arrives is Gervinho. The Ivorian has been blowing hot and cold since he joined in from Lille and most especially this season. I believe Isco's arrival would be the needed motivation he needs to step up his game. I personally believe he is better than what he is offering Arsenal. A look at him playing for Ivory coast would give a perception that we have a different Gervinho in our ranks. I believe he is better than that and only needs a kick in the back regularly to be the player we want him to be. Isco is that man to do it.
In the same vein, Wenger has declared that Vermaelen and Szczesny are going nowhere. The media had been abuzzed by insinuations of an exit after the duo were dropped for the Champions League clash at the Allianz Arena. He also said no one is guaranteed of a place in the team as everyone should be ready to fight for a place in the team. Is this a clear indication that Wenger is feeling the strain and feeling let down by those he trusted? It seems Le prof is about dumping his calm and stoic attitude for Fergie's hairdryer treatment? If that's the case, it's a good omen. I have always said it that places in the team should be on merit and form not on class or status. Let's hope the team that files out against Swansea at the Liberty Stadium are filled with players on form and not those relying on past glory.

Dream Theater – New Album Coming Soon | Official Site
I'm Jake and I live in Vegas. Been a fan since Six Degrees came out and haven't stopped listening to them since. I'm 28 and a single father. I first heard Dream Theater on an internet video as background music someone had chosen for a video game. After that it was love at first listen (first song I heard was The Great Debate).
28 and been a fan since six degrees (I think I was 19 or 20 when it came out).
I love the DT shows, the fans are so much more mature than the average show. I went to see A7X cause of Portnoy (and I like some A7X stuff) but the fans were f*ing insane. All high school / hot topic kids trampling over one another. Was f*ing ridiculous. I left the front pit area and walked to the back. I'm in shape and built pretty decent (2 times P90X grad) but the crowd was just f*ing stupid. I couldn't even enjoy the show. My girlfriend is short and she couldn't even breath between all the people. DT fans are so much better than that trash. And the best thing about DT fans is they're all "real" fans who know the whole discography for the most part and you can have mature conversations with them about DT and what not. Awesome stuff.
Just take a quick road trip somewhere nearby then if they're not in AZ. I live in Vegas which DT hardly ever comes to so I make road trips to California all the time. Matter of fact this coming Sunday I'll be heading to LA to see their second show ever with Mangini in the states! =D
Can't wait to see you this coming Sunday in LA!
We can all beat around the bush and dress it up however we like but the bottom line is this. Portnoy is a great drummer yes, but he erred greatly when he left Dream Theater to try and get into A7X. We can all deny it's true but we all know the fact is he DID WANT to get into A7X. Even A7X addressed the issue saying in interviews Portnoy made it sound as if he wanted to be a permanent member which was never their plan. I remember in one interview with Eddie Trunk Portnoy even responded to a question "what will you do now that you're not in DT" and he replied "Well, I'm a drummer without a band and A7X is a band without a drummer so right now we're gonna see where that goes."
Well guess what? That road ended in a pile of shit and when it did he tried to get back into Dream Theater. What was the members of DT supposed to do? Tell Mangini to try and get his job back. Tell Mangini "Oh we were just kidding, Portnoy wants back in!" HELL NO! They all went through considerable pain as artists and basically family members of Portnoy. They were brothers and Portnoy was the one who turned his back trying to get into a mainstream studio polish band.
Then he says "I tried to get back in but they said no, actually JP's lawyers had to tell me!" Well of course! He tries to make it sound like DT are the villains for not letting him back in.
And now Portnoy is trying to sue? Well I'm sorry Mr. Portnoy that your Adrenaline mob shows can barely get into the 100's (with some in California allegedly having less than 100, hence the reason they cancelled the Vegas show, unless you believe the tour bus not working bull sh*t). You f*ed up. You left your brothers with your lame excuses of "We need a break." 5 years is a f*ing long time to sit on your hands especially when all 4 other members of the greatest band ever are so eager to hit the studio and continue doing what they love to do.
My theory is Portnoy ran out of money and needs to generate some extra cash.
This has been a dramatic turn of events, but DT has moved on, and Portnoy is playing the drama queen card. I've been a die hard DT fan since Six Degrees. I balled my eyes out uncontrollably when Portnoy left and tried to believe it was for the reasons he said (although now I don't believe them anymore). But this is crossing the line. I have no feelings for Portnoy anymore, he's dead to me.
Maybe he should write another AA suite series of songs about whoring yourself out to other bands and resisting the "tempation" to go mainstream and sell out your friends, family and fans.
Have fun "waiting in the depths of isolation" Mr. Portnoy. You've lost me as a fan, amongst many more I'm sure.
(And saying "I can't talk about it cause of legal reasons" DOESN'T FUCKING CUT IT! STEP UP TO THE GOD DAMNED PLATE AND TAKE A LITTLE OWNERSHIP OVER YOUR F*ING MISTAKES!

(This be the second part after the first part on mah buddy Barry. You can read dat first part here if yo wants to and if yo dont wants to who cares! http://bit.ly/I9LTCJ.)Â
In One ah wuz talking bout all dose emails ah gets from my bud Barry an his homies moochin fo money. Dey piss me off. Dis is a lil differant.   Â
On Monday, Jimmy, (dat would be Jim Messina, head honky honcho fo da "Obama for America" campaign), emailed me for "input," my sugestions in a survey on how we can make shure Barry gets fo more years in the White House.Â
We damn well don't want dat moron Mormon guy moving on up to our place with all his ugly wives and his jerk-off ideas about people working for a livin and not survivin on food stamps. Do we? Â
On top of everything, ah heard dat Mit Romney believes in poligmy tho ah dont see nothin wrong with having a haarem of bitches. We all do dat, right? Why he would marry them tho is stupid.Â
 Barrys fam back where he wuz born in kenya all had a bunch of wives–da men folk that is–and his daddy liked wut we call VARIETY, if yo catch my meaning and no one made a big fuss about dat!   Â
As my new bud Jimmy put it, "Together, we've done some amazing work building this campaign so far. But I know that we're in for a tough fight ahead, and we'll need your voices and leadership if we want to win on Election Day."Â
Ahm not exactly sure what "amazin work" has been acomplished and I ain't been a leader since my dayz in the hood but, hey, if Barry's boy Jimmy says so it must be so and if my boy Barry needs me, I'm there! But not there with money!!!! Dat boy has enuff of dat!!Â
As for fights, ah agrees with Barry when he said if da honky bring a knife to a fight, we brings a gun even tho we always have a knife on us, as dey say, just in case. Dat was good advise tho.     Â
You can hep Barry and Jimmy by completin Jimmy's survey. It has questions on what we think about the Buffet Rule, "taking the fight to al-Qaeda," and "Ending 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' ". (http://bit.ly/Jqdb7P) Â
Look, ah never pay any taxes but if dose dumbass Repubs would jest stop being assholes and pass dat Buffet Rule, Waren would pay as much as his secratary and we could run the gubmint for a while, a few days mebbe but a few days is a few days right?  Â
And, if we can "take the fight to al-Qaeda," we wouldn't hafta fight in Times Square and Chinatown and Bed Stuy! Besides, dat Clinton DADT wuz a loser anyways cuz everyone knows dat our troops just love fighting alongside guys kissing in foxholes.Â
It bilds moral, know what ah mean?Â
 One last thing, dat hole Travon Martin bit where some Latino slaugtered one of mah inocent defenseless bruthas while he wuz just eating skittles, dat be another joke. Like alot of my homies said on twitter now we gotta kill dat Zimerman dude and da judge dat set him lose to let da world know we be a peacefull race like dat World Peace peep.Â
Ok I said dat last was mah last but it aint cuz ah just gots ANOTHER email from Jimmy and he sez Barry and his beautful Mishelle be startin their run fo another term on May 5. Jimmy said "Big news: In 10 days, President Obama is hitting the campaign trail." Dont spread dat around tho since dat was sent to ME personaly but it aint no big news to me cuz ah never knew Barry ever left "the campaign trail."Â
Ok now ahm jest about done but ah wanted to put in my 2 cents that my momma didn't raise no fool who keeps sending money to DC, even if our folks run things now!  Ah aint got no money honey!!
Like those beautful patriotts on the New Black Panther Party said when dey scared whities away from voting last Elction Day in Philly, "This is what it's like with a black man in charge.â€Â With brutha Eric Holder running the Justice Dept, we realy see, we realy see! Ha, ha!
My buddy Barry is a great man, mah man, the greatest, smartest pres-i-dent in the history of America, if not the whole world and I'm a genrous guy but I won't give money to no millionaire. Id rather contribute my gravy to that poor, defensless Travon Martin to pay his hospital bills after that nigger-hating half-breed shot him like a rabid dog! Â
May Gawd bless Amerika!

The economy still sucks, and we know this largely because, at the rate information technology is developing, we should be on Playstation 11 right now and we're only on 3 because no one can afford to pour extra money into video games.

1995: DOL Goes On-line
Seventeen years is not that long ago, but when it comes to technology, it seems like ages.
A good example: the first U.S. Department of Labor website. Launched on Sept. 4, 1995, dol.gov was not much to look at back then.
The site highlighted major departmental issues at the time, including minimum wage, corporate citizenship, pension protection and child labor reports.
There was no photography on the home page, and the color palette for type consisted of grey, red, white, and three shades of blue. There was one big innovation of the day on the website: animated, revolving "hot buttons" for key initiatives.
Today's dol.gov has nearly 165,000 pages, averages 10 million page views a month with a monthly visit average of more than 3 million. And it looks much better now, too!
Honor for Addie Wyatt
Addie Wyatt, former international vice president of the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union, has been inducted into the Department of Labor's Hall of Honor. Secretary Solis announced the induction on May 8 to more than 400 attendees at the UFCW's legislative conference in Chicago. Wyatt worked as a Chicago meat-packer and rose to the highest ranks of the American labor movement, becoming the first
African-American woman to lead a local labor union and serve as a vice president of an international union. "Addie Wyatt spent her lifetime fighting for all working people no matter their race, their gender or their ethnic background," Solis said. "She believed that dignity and respect belonged to everyone no matter where you came from or what job you worked." Wyatt co-founded the Coalition of Labor Union Women and also worked closely with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to support the Montgomery Bus Boycott and counseled a young community organizer named Barack Obama. She passed away March 28, 2012.
Meet the DOL Leadership Team
Nearly one in four American workers is employed by a company that receives federal funds for contracted work.
The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs is responsible for holding federal contractors and subcontractors accountable to the legal requirements that
they prohibit discrimination and take affirmative action to ensure equal employment opportunity with respect to sex, race, color, religion, national origin,
disability and status as a protected veteran. OFCCP Director Patricia A. Shiu's history reflects a life-long commitment to the value of fair play in
employment. Today she leads nearly 800 staff who are dedicated to protecting workers, promoting diversity and enforcing the law.
Prior to joining the department, Shiu spent 26 years as a civil rights attorney and public policy advocate. [More...]
Hiring Persons with Disabilities
An alliance agreement supporting increased hiring of individuals with disabilities in the health care industry was signed May 7 by Kathy Martinez, assistant secretary of labor for disability employment policy, and Beth Marks, president of the National Organization of Nurses with Disabilities. "ODEP looks forward to partnering with NOND to develop strategies for increasing employment and educational opportunities for those of us with disabilities in the health care industry," Martinez said. NOND is an open membership, cross-disability, public education and advocacy organization that works to promote the full inclusion and acceptance of people with disabilities and chronic health conditions into nursing careers.
Getting the Word Out on Safety
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration Region V Labor Liaisons, who serve as a communication and training resource for workers, recently attended the National Safety Council Labor Division Spring Conference in Madison, Wis., where they conducted a panel focusing on how employees and their advocates can work with OSHA. The labor liaisons also participated in mock inspections and interactive training with approximately 200 members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. Other participating unions included the Transport Workers Union, Machinists, United Steel Workers, Teamsters, United Auto Workers, American Federation of State City and Municipal Employees, American Federation of Government Employees, and the Utility Workers Coalition.
Looking to the Future
Secretary Solis sat down with college students and recent graduates from the University of Illinois at Chicago on May 8 to discuss the challenges and opportunities they face entering the workforce.
About 150 students attended the event, where they discussed access to training, good jobs and the possibility that federal student loan interest rates may double on July 1 unless Congress acts.
"We should be investing in our young people," Solis said. "We should be making it easier for students to go to college, not harder." The next day, Solis was in Columbus, Ohio, meeting with students and recent graduates of Columbus State Community College. Solis covered many of the same topics that were discussed in Chicago, and then stressed the importance of a college education as the door to getting ahead in today's global economy. She also visited the Ohio Statehouse to address the Latino business community as part of Ohio Latino Legislative Visit Day, where she highlighted the importance of entrepreneurship programs and summer jobs.
OSHA Takes Health and Safety Campaigns to the Bluegrass State
After its recent launch of two national outreach and education campaigns for protecting workers, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration is hitting the road to cultivate support from its state partners and local stakeholders. Last week, the agency kicked off a campaign to protect workers in the construction industry with the simple message of "Plan. Provide. Train." Then, as the mercury began its summer rise, OSHA launched the second year of its heat injury and illness prevention campaign to protect workers in outdoor industries. On May 9, Assistant Secretary of Labor for OSHA Dr. David Michaels was the keynote speaker at the Annual Governor's Safety and Health Conference and Exposition in Louisville, Ky. He discussed the agency's goals for these campaigns with the safety professionals in attendance.
Career Tips for College Students
More than 100 faculty and students from Virginia State University and St. Paul's College participated on April 18 in a forum on employment opportunities in public service and federal contracting. The department's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs hosted the event in Petersburg, Virginia, in collaboration with both schools and the Urban League of Greater Richmond. OFCCP Mid-Atlantic Regional Director Michele Hodge spoke to the audience of African American college students about the Obama administration's commitment to ensuring that the federal workforce and the federal contracting workforce reflect the diversity of 21st century America. Department representatives also collected resumes and discussed opportunities for summer internships and federal careers.
Safety with UAW
Deputy Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health Jordan Barab delivered the keynote speech at the United Auto Workers annual health and safety training conference in Black Lake, Michigan, on May 9. Barab spoke to a gathering of 350 local union trainers about the department's commitment to the Occupational Safety and Health Act and the importance of union members having the tools to recognize and mitigate workplace hazards. Barab noted that classes funded by OSHA's Susan Harwood Training grant program are "the best steps towards ensuring that UAW members come home safe and healthy from every shift, and buttress the long-lasting positive impact of the UAW in making sure every member has a safe job."
Focusing on the Recovery
Dr. Adriana Kugler, the department's chief economist, participated in a policy briefing for the Hispanic Bar Association this week. The event brought together 70 Latino legal professionals from across the country to discuss issues ranging from the economy to immigration reform. Joining a panel of administration officials at the White House, Kugler discussed the improving labor market situation for Hispanic workers. In particular, she highlighted the fact that the current economic recovery has been broad, benefiting Hispanics of all ages and educational groups and national origin.
Ready for Mine Emergencies
Imagine being called upon to travel hundreds of feet underground in search of missing miners following a fire, roof collapse or explosion. That scenario was one of several encountered by mine rescue teams this week at the Mine Safety and Health Administration's training academy in Beaver, W.Va. Nearly 60 teams engaged in a series of exercises designed to test their skills fighting fire, navigating through dense smoke and rescuing trapped miners. "With terrible tragedies like what happened at Upper Big Branch, Sago and Aracoma over the past several years, it is clear that the U.S. mining industry still needs the valuable expertise that well-trained mine rescue teams deliver," said MSHA Assistant Secretary Joseph Main. "When a mine emergency strikes, there is nothing more comforting than the presence of prepared, competent mine rescue teams." On public display were several components of MSHA's Mine Emergency Operations unit, including the seismic location vehicle, mobile gas laboratory, mine rescue robot and command center truck, which recently was equipped with a state-of-the-art surface-to-underground communications and tracking system. "Effective mine rescue entails many different parts working together seamlessly toward one goal," said Main. "One of the most important things we can do is to prepare ourselves as best we can for a mine emergency."
Stressing Partnerships
With science, technology, engineering and math job growth projected to rise at twice the rate of the economy by 2018, ensuring workers have the technical skills employers need has never been more important. Jane Oates, assistant secretary of labor for employment and training, took that message to Las Vegas on May 8 for a conference focused on the ways that education providers, government, and businesses can collaborate to close the technical workforce gap. The event, put on by Siemens, also highlighted a new partnership with Iowa Western Community College to share best practices on associate's degree curriculum, obtaining in-kind software grants to provide the technology needed for implementation, and a white paper on how to build successful academic, government and business partnerships.
From Lesson Plans to Life Lessons
"I wouldn't be where I am today without Mr. Robert Sanchez," said Secretary Solis during a heartfelt video thanking our nations' teachers. The video is one of more than a dozen created by members of the department's leadership staff this week to share a special message in honor of an educator who inspired them and made a difference in their lives. The recordings are part of a national "Thank a Teacher" campaign in celebration of Teacher Appreciation Week.

What's New
'Hanging Out' with Secretary Solis
Joined by panelists from across town and across the country, Labor Secretary Hilda Solis participated in a Google+ Hangout a live online video conference on the importance of summer jobs and the administration's Summer Jobs+ initiative.
The event showcased the involvement of Jamba Juice and Southwire as two of the more than 120 companies and organizations that have signed on as Summer Jobs+ partners,
as well as the city of Columbus, Ohio, and the development work of Monica Wilkinson from San Francisco. But perhaps the most compelling story was that of
Jorge Otano, who got his first summer job through the Latin American Youth Center in Washington, D.C., where he now proudly works as a full-time employee.
As Secretary Solis said, "There's no replacement for the dignity that comes with earning your first paycheck, I know because I've been there.
I wouldn't be here today as the nation's first Latina Secretary of Labor if it wasn't for the summer work experiences I had growing up."
OSHA Gets Ahead of Summer Heat
For the second consecutive year, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration will conduct a nationwide outreach campaign to
educate employers and workers about the hazards of working outdoors in extreme heat. The message is a simple one: Beat the heat with water, rest and shade.
Building on the success of last year's efforts, OSHA has renewed partnerships with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and
numerous stakeholders, to keep outdoor workers safe in the grueling summer months. There is a mobile application available for
iPhone and Android platforms that can display a risk level for workers based on the heat index, and also gives workers and employers
reminders about protective measures that should be taken. "For outdoor workers, 'water, rest and shade' are three words that can make
the difference between life and death," Secretary Solis said. "If employers take reasonable precautions, and look out for their workers,
we can beat the heat."

MSHA Welcomes New Deputy Assistant Secretary
The Mine Safety and Health Administration has added a new member to its executive team. Anthony Mayville was selected as MSHA's deputy assistant secretary for policy, effective May 9. Previously, Mayville was director of the Office of Mines and Minerals for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, where he supervised regulation of mining and mineral extraction in the state. His nearly three decades in the mining industry include jobs as a coal miner, union representative, section foreman and assistant mine manager. Said Assistant Secretary of Labor for MSHA Joseph Main, "He brings a wealth of experience in oversight and enforcement of mine safety laws to the agency."
DOL Employees Receive Honor Awards Made by Gary Job Corps
Secretary Solis presented awards to department employees in recognition of their outstanding displays of professionalism, teamwork and dedication at the department's annual Honor Awards ceremony on May 10 at the Labor Department's headquarters in Washington, D.C. The award medallions and their display boxes were made from available materials at no cost to the taxpayers by machining, arts and crafts and carpentry students from the Gary Job Corps Center in San Marcos, Texas. The students came together as a team to design and craft what the award should look like, be composed of and symbolize.
NAOSH Week Kicks Off at DOL
North American Occupational Safety and Health Week started Monday at the Frances Perkins Building when Dr. David Michaels, assistant secretary of labor for occupational safety and health, spoke alongside Terrie Norris, president of the American Society of Safety and Engineers, and Jim Hopkins, secretary of the Canadian Society of Safety Engineering. Since 1997, safety and health leaders from far and wide have gathered with OSHA and alliance program participants to promote the common goal of getting workers home safe every day. Michaels highlighted OSHA's initiatives to prevent falls and heat injuries and also touted the agency's recent release of the hazard communication standard. This year's NAOSH week theme, "Safety, What Every Business Needs," was highlighted by the winners of ASSE's annual children's poster contest. "We know that a well-run business is efficient and productive when employers make sure that their workers are safe and healthy," said Dr. Michaels. "These posters are vivid representations of an ideal work environment in the eyes of the next generation of workers."
National News
Enhanced Services for Unemployed Workers Now Available
The department announced $65 million in grants to 40 states, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia on May 7 to implement and/or continue Re-employment and Eligibility Assessments for Unemployment Insurance beneficiaries. The services funded by these grants include the development of a re-employment plan for UI claimants, a complete review of claimants' eligibility for Unemployment Insurance benefits, and a referral to re-employment services and/or training provided by the One-Stop Career Centers. This is the eighth year that the Labor Department has awarded grants through this initiative. Recent evaluations of state REA programs have shown that REAs reduce the number of weeks UI benefits are claimed by getting the unemployed back to work faster while saving states a substantial amount of money. The Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012, signed by President Obama in February, will expand the use of REAs to federal Unemployment Insurance programs.

Carrasco Job Corps Recycles to Help Veterans
For the past seven months, the David L. Carrasco Job Corps Center in El Paso, Texas, has been keeping the planet green and helping veterans at the same time. Carrasco has been involved with the "PEPSICO/ Dream Machine Recycle Rally" project where recycled plastic bottles and soda cans are collected and then scanned. Each plastic bottle or can is worth one point each. The total collected per week is then uploaded to a laptop that PepsiCo provided. All points from all participating schools are tallied by Pepsi who makes a monetary contribution to the Post-9/11 Disabled U.S Veterans program. The project has taught the students not only the importance of recycling but of giving back to the many veterans in need.

Soft Skills Webinar
"Soft skills" are personal attributes that enhance an individual's interactions, job performance and career prospects. Unlike "hard skills" which are about a person's skill set and ability to perform a certain type of task or activity soft skills relate to a person's ability to interact effectively with coworkers and customers and are broadly applicable both in and outside the workplace. Workforce3One held a Webinar highlighting training techniques and other useful information detailed in the Office of Disability Employment Policy's print and on-line publication titled: "Skills to Pay the Bills: Mastering Soft Skills for Workplace Success." Designed to help youth, including youth with disabilities, prepare for job interviews and employment, the publication focuses on the importance of communication, enthusiasm, teamwork, problem solving and professionalism in the workplace. The curriculum was created for youth development professionals working with ages 14-24. More than 200 people participated in the Webinar, which also included opportunities to provide feedback and highlight success stories. Workforce3One is an e-learning website sponsored by the Employment and Training Administration.
2012 National Disability Awareness Theme Announced
Assistant Secretary of Labor for Disability Employment Policy Kathy Martinez unveiled the official theme of the October 2012 National Disability Employment Awareness Month: A Strong Workforce Is An Inclusive Workforce: What Can YOU Do? The theme, Martinez said, "promotes the benefit of an inclusive workforce that includes the talents of those of us with disabilities." This year's theme is tied to ODEP's Campaign for Disability Employment, and the early announcement of the theme is intended to give stakeholders nationwide an opportunity to plan events that showcase inclusive workforces.

Going Confidently in the Direction of a New Dream
Trudy Kinder's life has included working for an Idaho potato grower, serving in the military, and being a wife and mother. When the 63-year-old West Virginian decided to re-enter the workforce, she received assistance from the department-funded Mature Worker Program. With career counseling and placement help from the Southwestern Community Action Council, Kinder received on-the-job training in janitorial services at an independent living center. She then became a cook at the center, and is now thinking about going to college to become a dietician. Kinder, who had been out of the workforce for a number of years, said the Mature Worker Program "helped me gain the confidence to look for a job."

The department has awarded a $448,197 National Emergency Grant supplement to the Iowa Workforce Development to provide re-employment services to about 713 workers affected by layoffs at Electrolux in Jefferson and Webster City, Iowa, and three of its suppliers in Ames and Webster City, Iowa. The layoffs occurred between May 2008 and June 2011. "Any time a major employer shuts its doors, communities suffer," said Secretary Solis. The additional funding announced May 7 "will help support these workers and their community by providing continued training and job placement assistance," she said.

DeMoulas Super Markets Inc., in a settlement with the department, has agreed to correct all hazards and take substantive steps to enhance safety and health measures for employees of the grocery chain's more than 60 Market Basket stores in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. The settlement resolves litigation that followed citations issued by the department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration in October 2011 after OSHA inspections identified widespread fall and laceration hazards at the stores. As part of the litigation, the department's regional solicitor's office filed a complaint with the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission asking for enterprisewide correction of the hazards. As the result of settlement discussions with the solicitor's office, DeMoulas has signed the agreement to correct the cited hazards and take additional preventive actions. The company also has paid a total of $400,000 in fines.

text: Hookup Culture Is a Myth Students today having same amount of sex as earlier generation By John Johnson, Newser Staff Posted Aug 13, 2013 10:25 AM CDT STORY COMMENTS (29) (Newser) – You know the whole hookup culture of casual sex that's so prevalent on college campuses? Turns out, it's not so prevalent. Or at least, no more prevalent than in an earlier generation, a new study suggests. The key stat: About one-third of college students have had more than one sexual partner in the last year—the same as those surveyed between 1988 and 1996, reports Time. "College students today are not having more sexual partners [after] age 18, more sexual partners over the last year, or more sex than their parents," says a sociology professor at the University of Oregon that led the study. Some other findings, from Yahoo News: 77% of today's students reported having a "spouse or regular sex partner," down from 85% in the earlier group. So, yes, a decline in regular partners, but it's still true that most students are having sex as part of a relationship. Fewer contemporary students report having sex weekly or more often (59%) compared to the earlier group (65%). About the same number of modern students (50.5%) say they have had more than two sex partners since turning 18 as the earlier group (51.7%).
