Didn't see this posted yet, but how the hell do you fire your wife as the CEO of the Dodgers when you're the owner? I have a feeling this is going to be a REALLY messy divorce when you have this much in assets.
Wife of Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt files for divorce - ESPN
Additionally, $488,000 per month if she isn't re-instated as the CEO? Holy ****!
Do they really have any true assetts at all? From things I have heard the McCourts are just going to be fighting over who is responsible for what debts they owe... They really shouldn't have been able to buy a team in the first place.

You can spend your whole life building
Something from nothing
One storm can come and blow it all away
Build it anyway
You can chase your dream
Seem so out of reach
And you know it might not ever come your way
Dream it anyway
God is great, but sometimes life ain't good
And when I pray, doesn't always
Turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway, I do it anyway
This world's gone crazy
And it's hard to believe
That tomorrow will be better than today
Believe it anyway
You can love someone with all your heart
For all the right reasons
And in a moment they can choose to walk away
Love them anyway
God is great, but sometimes life ain't good
And when I pray, doesn't always
Turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway, I do it anyway, yeah
You can bore your soul out singing
A song you believe in
That tomorrow they'll forget you ever sang
Sing it anyway, yeah sing it anyway, yeah, yeah
I sing, I dream, I love anyway, yeah, yeah
I do it anyway

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Debate over Pentagon spending cuts is heating up as a bipartisan congressional panel tries to come up with a plan to cut the federal deficit.
The Pentagon says that if Congress' so-called supercommittee fails to meet a Nov. 23 deadline for a debt plan, it will trigger spending cuts that would endanger national security, invite aggression and devastate Defense Department operations.
Although the Pentagon has outside support for that view, there also are plenty of critics. Some say that the Pentagon is exaggerating and cuts are overdue for a budget that has doubled over the past decade.

"You are the key to our survival."
Now that the Twilight franchise is over, it seems that The Hunger Games is the heir apparent to the Young Adult audience that Twilight targeted, and it's not as if there hasn't been plenty of competition. Supernatural love story Beautiful Creatures quietly crept into theaters in February, but couldn't even crack the Top 5 at the box office its opening weekend, putting a sequel highly in doubt. The Host, again adapted from a novel by Twilight author Stephenie Meyer, opened in theaters last weekend, yet it too couldn't make the top 5 movies, losing mostly to movies that are already a few weeks in release.
The next challenger for the 'tween audience is August's The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, which just debuted a new poster and trailer. It certainly has the usual elements for success: a hit novel series (written by Cassandra Clare), a love triangle, and a seemingly ordinary, teenage girl (Lily Collins) dropped into extraordinary circumstances.
Not that City of Bones is an exact replica of Twilight or The Hunger Games, but Collins' recent comments about playing lead character Clary Fray sound like she could have easily been talking about either Bella Swan or Katniss Everdeen. Said Collins to EW: "...the thing about [Clary] that I love is that she's this strong, empowered young woman who is going through normal teenage life, and yet all these different crazy situations are thrown at her and she handles it with such grace."
Still, the story of City of Bones is slightly more fantasy-based than Twilight or Hunger Games, as it follows Clary's discovery that she is actually a descendent of half-angel warriors called Shadowhunters who protect the world from demons.
Directed by Harald Zwart (The Karate Kid), The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones co-stars Jamie Campbell Bower as Jace, Kevin Zegers and Jemima West as siblings Alec and Isabelle Lightwood, Lena Headey as Clary's mother and Jonathan Rhys-Meyers as the evil Shadowhunter Valentine.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Sep 5th, 2008)
Julia Louis Dreyfus' bodified and rolled forward style has a curvy shape.
Styling Tip
Step 1: Apply a handful of mousse onto damp hair. Blow-dry two-inch sections with a round brush lifting the roots for volume and then moving sections forward and rolling the ends under and in toward your face.
Step 2: Use an extra-large curling iron just on the ends of two-inch sections to lightly roll in toward your face. Hold in place for a few seconds to set the curl, release and repeat until all hair is done.
Step 3: Lightly coat your fingers with shine serum and run through hair to break up the curl.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Consider the total number of labor hours your company spends setting personal objectives and appraising performance.But do appraisals improve job performance?
The first year, the CHRO announced the company would "strengthen" the pay-performance link through mandated distributions (e.g., only 10% can get a 5 rating, etc.). Ironically, after years of stable ratings, the pay-performance score dropped precipitously while the cross-industry average remained stable. The second year, the CHRO decided he needed to push harder. This time, he took away managers' discretion to allocate bonus dollars and mandated fixed payouts by performance rating. The result was another statistically significant drop in pay-performance satisfaction. The third year, the CHRO decided that high performers would get a fixed 20% increase and mid and low performers would get nothing. By year four, 34% of employees felt their pay and performance were linked -- down from a starting point of 47%. With two percentage points considered statistically significant, perception of pay-performance dropped 13 percentage points in four years.

Peter Castronovo
Soda pop to innovation earns sanitarian an Excellence-in-IPM award
by Mary Woodsen
A few summers ago, Peter Castronovo had his ah-ha! moment at his department picnic when he noticed yellow jackets clustering around discarded cups of orange soda. As senior sanitarian at the University of Rochester, he was plagued each September during peak yellow jacket season with a rash of patrons being stung at the annual Clothesline Festival, held on the grounds of the Memorial Art Gallery. Could orange soda cut down on the number of people seeking medical help for serious stings?
It did, when placed in traps around the edges of the event.
It's this kind of innovation that has won Castronovo his Excellence in IPM Award from Cornell University's New York State Integrated Pest Management Program. IPM, or "integrated pest management," seeks least-toxic ways of dealing with pests.
"I'm very honored to be recognized by my peers. The average person can't always tell if you're really using IPM techniques, but your peers are your greatest critics," says Castronovo, a down to earth guy who considers himself first and foremost "a guardian of the environment."
Castronovo joined the university's Department of Environmental Health and Safety in 1985, where he manages the pest control and food safety programs. He's responsible for 11 million square feet on 450 acres used by 40,000 people a day. He cares for academic buildings, residence halls, libraries, a museum, animal research buildings, two hospitals, and medical office buildings. That's a lot of people dropping crumbs and a lot of potential pest problems.
But he's had great success. Since beginning a full IPM program in 1995, he's reduced the number of pests by 77 percent and costs by 30 percent. In 2002, Hospitals for a Healthy Environment recognized the IPM program at the university hospital with an award.
"In the early years, we used a good deal of liquid spray pesticides," says Castronovo. "But over time we learned there was a better and safer way to do things."
"Peter has reduced the university's annual use of 400 gallons of liquid pesticides in 1994 to less than 10 gallons currently," says Mark E. Cavanaugh, director of environmental health and safety at the University of Rochester. "He's constantly looking for safer and more efficient treatments."
When Castronovo's in-house pest control workers go into a kitchen with a problem, they don't just spray and leave. First they inspect and advise on fixing structural problems, like gaps under doors and removing piles of unused equipment. Then they focus on cleaning to make sure the kitchen isn't just feeding the pests. Finally, instead of poison sprays, they'll use baits and traps--which also help them monitor the population. It takes more time, but Castronovo finds that in the long run, it's healthier and saves money.
Castronovo notes that educating stakeholders is a big part of his job. "IPM is a process and it doesn't happen overnight. We're educating folks on how they can help themselves--but we're also enforcing when we have to. It really takes the whole university community for this thing to be successful."
"Peter is a leader in promoting safe structural pest management in sensitive environments," says Lynn Braband, IPM Extension Area Educator. "He shares his knowledge generously with others."
He also has a commitment to strengthening IPM, serving on New York State's Community IPM Coordinating Council for several years and also on the search committee for the director of the New York State IPM Program.
Castronovo is a strong advocate for IPM, saying "I encourage people to use IPM because it's safer, more effective in the long run, and you can save money. Sometimes it's not the easy way but it's the right way."
"Pete is a true leader in this area, with a passion for IPM," says Daniel G. Schied, who manages the grounds at the University of Rochester.
Castronovo will receive his award on March 19, 2008 at the New York State Pest Management Association meeting in Albany, N.Y.

Recent Labor News Confirms Importance of 2016 Presidential Elections for UnionsThe split decision in the Friedrich's case, an unveiled attack on public unions by rightwing opponents to collective bargaining, produced a stalemate which leaves those rights as they were. In the event that the Supreme Court cannot reach a decision, the lower court ruling stands. Therefore, public unions can continue to represent their members and to collect dues to meet union expenses. The absence of the late Justice Antonin Scalia from the Supreme Court was the key to this quasi-victory. To maintain public employee bargaining rights and to keep public employee unions strong, a progressive replacement for Scalia on the Supreme Court is needed. Undoubtedly, the anti-union element will try again to reverse earlier decisions affirming these rights. To make the victory secure, a more progressive Supreme Court is needed. Hence, the importance of November's presidential election. The next president will name judges to federal courts at every level. And who knows, maybe President Obama's nominee to replace Scalia will eventually be seated. If not, the Supreme Court seat and all it implies for union rights will be hugely important in 2017. Finally, kudos to Secretary of Labor Tom Perez and the Obama administration for the new union persuader rule that requires the identification of consultants hired by companies to defeat union organizing campaigns. Such activities should be known to employees. The Obama administration, friendly to unions, their members and potential members, produced the persuader rule.

Pyrex: Strong Glass, Strong Union
Made by members of Local 53G Pyrex is made from sturdy soda-lime glass. Pyrex is safe to use in both the oven and the microwave and is heat-treated to increase its resistance to breakage if knocked or dropped.
Since 1936, Pyrex bakeware has been made in the Pennsylvania river town of Charleroi, where USW members today produce 50 million pieces of glassware each year. Some 300 USW Local 53G members produce some 45 million bowls, measuring cups, pie plates, casserole dishes and other pieces each year.
Corning Inc. began making Pyrex cookware in 1915, and as late as the 1970s, some pieces were made by hand. Owned by World Kitchen LL since 1998, Pyrex is made in Charleroi using a complex mechanized system, with a team of Steelworkers overseeing each step.

Union members earn better wages and benefits than workers who aren't union members. On average, union workers' wages are 27 percent higher than their nonunion counterparts.
Unionized workers are 60 percent more likely to have employer-provided pensions.
More than 79 percent of union workers have jobs that provide health insurance benefits, but less than half of nonunion workers do. Unions help employers create a more stable, productive workforce—where workers have a say in improving their jobs.
Unions help bring workers out of poverty and into the middle class. In fact, in states where workers don't have union rights, workers' incomes are lower.

How do I handle my feelings of failure for not breastfeeding?
I've tried exhaustively -- and unsuccessfully -- to breastfeed my baby. It was always a struggle, even after I got professional help. During my pregnancy I was so excited about the idea of breastfeeding. Now I feel like a failure, especially because of all the information out there about breast milk being best. What should I do?

Please don't feel bad. Not all women are successful at breastfeeding - that's why formula was invented! Once upon a time you would have had to hire a "wet nurse" to feed your child. Compared to that, formula is a nice choice. You didn't say if you couldn't breastfeed at all or didn't produce enough to satify your child, but if you are producing SOME milk I suggest you continue nursing and supplement with formula so your child gets the best of both worlds.posted 08/30/2004 by Jennlwest
Breastfeeding can be a lot harder for some than others. I'm glad I stuck with it but those first few weeks were rough. My best advice is drink water. Lots of water.posted 08/30/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
Don't feel like a failure! I was breastfeeding with my second child and he wasn't thriving. Then I started him on formula and he's doing just fine - and reaching milestones well before the expected age. You and your baby will bond whether you breastfeed or bottle feed. Please don't feel like a failure. You're not the only one who has been through this. There is definately not enough support for mom's who decide/want to bottle-feed. Good luck to you. You've made the best decision for you and you're baby!posted 08/30/2004 by StephClyne
Being a good mom is about assessing the situation and choosing what is best for your baby. Every situation and every baby is different. Don't worry about the hype, just do what is best for your baby.posted 08/30/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE. Your baby loves you no matter what you are feeding him/her. I had the same kind of situation with my son who is now 8 months old. He and I bonded while bottle feeding, and I didn't feel so pressured once I let go of all of the hype of what I call the boobie beaters who insist that your child will not be as smart as theirs if you don't breastfeed. You are your baby's hero, and in the coming months, that tiny little toothless grin will be all you need to let you know that you did the right thing for you and your baby. Hey, you gave it your best effort, and that is all you can be expected to do. Now let yourself relax, mix up a bottle of formula, and enjoy your baby!posted 08/30/2004 by RMcGinn
With my first son, I tried for 2 weeks and was so sore I was pumping blood. I felt like such a failure, I think I cried for a couple weeks. He started gaining weight and meeting all his developmental stages once he started on formula! He was formula fed from then on! He is a happy, healthy and thriving 10 year old and an upcoming gymnast. With My eldest daughter, I tried breast shields while I was pregnant and was able to nurse her right from the start. I was scared to try again but it worked and we nursed for 2 years. My second son had a bit of trouble but we pulled through. I now have my fourth child who was 8 weeks preemie and she is successfully breastfeeding, it was a hard go, but we made it. She is used to a bottle as well so that I have some time to do things with my older 3 children and time to myself. I never look down on anyone for not breastfeeding. I remember where I was with my first and where I am now. You do what is best for you and your baby. I know most breastfeeding people do look down on formula fed babies, but we are not all like that. Good Luck with your baby and have a wonderful time bonding with him/her without any stress of feeding issues! :)posted 08/30/2004 by Alexison
I think it's great that you tried to breastfeed, and I believe that some babies just aren't good at it, or don't have the patience for it. Giving a baby formula is not a sin, and in fact your baby may be much happier with the bottle, which will make things easier for you. Breastfeeding can be very stressful for a mom, questioning your milk supply, worrying if your baby is gaining weight, feeling rejected when baby doesn't want to feed. While it may be best for baby, I think it may have taken years off my life due to stress (LOL!). I breastfeed but supplement with formula one feeding so I can have a break, and my daughter (6.5 months) is less and less interested every day in breastfeeding. I pump for her, to give her as much breast milk as possible, maybe that it possible for you! Good Luck!posted 08/30/2004 by CLpitty
Don't feel like a failure... yes, breastmilk is the "perfect" food, but formula has come a LONG way, baby! Manufacturers have come very close to imitating breastmilk... all that aside, breast is NOT best if your baby isn't thriving on it, or if it is too stressful for you and your baby... babies can pick up on stress which in turn stresses them out... it creates a very unpleasant pattern. DON'T FEEL LIKE A FAILURE! You did what is best for your baby and for you... isn't that what being a Mother is all about?posted 08/30/2004 by sydntysmom
Don't feel like a failure, contrary to popular belief not everyone can nurse. You did your best and tried harder than most. Your baby will be fine on formula and she will know you love her just the same. I had a few friends who felt the same as you after trying all they could to nurse and for some it doesn't work but they made the bottle time special in their own ways and so can you.posted 08/30/2004 by samjksmom
hey ana lucia. first of all falier is a word which may describe some people who are definately not u. this word simply doesn't fit here so u are NOT a falier. secondly u r not alone. this hapened to my best friend twice & she is raising two cute fine children. at least u tried your best. & thirdly it's never too late to start again. don't lose faith in your self & baby. here is what happened to me: i had my 3 month old baby girl by c section which was unexpected & therefore to which i was NEVER emotionally ready to. i had severe pain & hardly could stand up straight so i coudn't breastfeed my baby regularly at first & she was battlefed by nurses at hospital that she had nipple confusion & when i got home she simply refused to nurse. she cried bitterly to get a bottle & sometimes i just gave up & when i insisted on nursing she just hated me more & even slept in hunger. her refusal to me was heart breaking. i was about to giving up & switch to bottle & that's when i realised that stress will only push my daughter much far away. now i'm successfully & exclussively breastfeeding. u need to remember that babies at the begining of thier lives need to learn how to nurse & how to cope with life outside the womb & this takes a while as long as 6 weeks or so. so u need patience & faith. for a begin u can start pumping & expressing your milk to both maintain milk suply & increse it AND to feed the baby with your milk & avoid formula & taste confusion. try to use the bottle only when you r hope less & serve your milk any way rather than with the bottle. gradully you will turn to breastfeeding exclusively & your baby aill gradually learn to nurse better. forthly u r welcome to e-mail me at "firstname.lastname@example.com". ater all even if it doesn't work it's not the end of the world cause as a mother u've million of ways to offer your baby & make it up to him. last but not least from the bottom of my heart good luck!posted 08/30/2004 by laluna2004

Can a Woman "Prong" a Man?
Why it's so hard to put sex in the dictionary.
WARNING: This piece contains vulgar language—lots and lots of it—that may be inappropriate for children or the faint of heart.
In 1966, Jess Stein, the editor-in-chief of the major Random House Dictionary of the English Language, told the New York Times about a meeting he convened with the company's editorial and sales staff to discuss the words cunt and fuck. "When I uttered the words there was a shuffling of feet, and a wave of embarrassment went through the room," he said. "That convinced me the words did not belong in the dictionary, though I'm sure I'll be attacked as a prude for the decision."
Stein did not have to wait long to be proven right on the last point: A mere two weeks later, the Times' own book reviewer wrote, "Unfortunately, a stupid prudery has prevented the inclusion of probably the most widely-used word in the English language. The excuse here, no doubt, is 'good taste'; but in a dictionary of this scope and ambition the omission seems dumb and irresponsible."
With the advantage of hindsight, Stein may seem priggish. But dictionary editors throughout history would sympathize. Figuring out how to put sex in the dictionary—which terms to include and how to define them—is actually one of the most challenging tasks we face.
The 1960s actually marked the end of a long drought in the inclusion of sexual terms in dictionaries. The word fuck is first found in a dictionary in 1598, when it was one of five synonyms given to translate the Italian word fottere (the others were jape, sard, swive,and occupy). It is included in several other dictionaries throughout the 17th and 18th centuries (though not in that of Samuel Johnson, who made a conscious decision to keep out such material); Nathan Bailey's major Dictionarium Britannicum of 1730 included the odd note that it was "a term used of a goat," perhaps in an effort to make it seem less offensive. The last general dictionary to include the word was the 1775 New and Complete Dictionary of the English Language by Baptist preacher John Ash; the word is still found in the 1795 edition.
But after that, thanks to the public prudishness that characterized the Victorian era and lasted well beyond it, it was to be 170 years before fuck was again put into a general dictionary: In 1965, the British Penguin English Dictionary included the term, and its entire treatment read, "(vulg) (of males) have sexual intercourse (with)."
One major problem dictionary editors face in defining sexual terms is deciding how explicit to be. Defining coitus as "an act of sexual intercourse" but leaving sexual intercourse undefined, for example (on the grounds that a reader could figure it out from the definitions of sexual and intercourse), would be a problem, not only because it makes the reader do too much page-flipping but also because the definitions probably still won't be sufficiently clear.
Such evasive definitions aren't confined to English dictionaries. In the Oxford Latin Dictionary, the word irrumo is defined "[t]o practise irrumatio on." Great. Irrumatio, less than helpfully, is "[t]he action of an irrumator." We finally learn that an irrumator is "[o]ne who submits to fellatio." And thus, after flipping your way through three different entries, you get a definition that, while described precisely enough (and better than its counterpart in the main Victorian Latin dictionary, "to commit beastly acts"), is completely wrong. An irrumator is the active, not the passive, participant. The real meaning of irrumo is something like "to fuck (someone) in the face, esp. as a way of asserting dominance"; it is frequently found in the locker-room talk of Catullus and also appears in Martial's scurrilous epigrams.
Even when the definitions of sexual terms are clear, they can often omit important aspects of the meaning. Homosexual practices have been notoriously poorly treated until quite recently. There was a controversy earlier this year when conservatives realized that Merriam-Webster had included a definition of marriage reading "the state of being united to a person of the same sex in a relationship like that of a traditional marriage." (This definition had been added years before, and many other dictionaries include similar treatments, but Merriam got singled out anyway.) And marriage is an obvious place to remember to be inclusive; sexual terms are less so. A definition for sixty-nine reading "simultaneous fellatio and cunnilingus by two partners" (from the Random House College Dictionary, an older edition) omits the possibility of a homosexual sixty-nine.

AURORA — Business at the Town Center at Aurora has plummeted by as much as 50 percent for some retailers in the wake of last week's massacre at the movie theater next door.
Top 40 music is once again blaring in the food court, but workers say the atmosphere remains solemn. Some employees recognized that among the victims killed and injured were regular customers.
The mall reopened Saturday after a one-day closure, but the Century Aurora 16 theater, considered an anchor tenant that draws traffic for the mall's retailers, is still shuttered.
"Saturday was a ghost town," said Alem Tekle, assistant manager for Fanzz, a sporting-goods retailer that has been at the shopping center for six years.
Fanzz regional manager Jarrod Gallegos estimated that sales were down about 50 percent Saturday compared with a typical Saturday.
"We're doing about as well as can be expected," he said.
Business at the Metro Barber Shop has dropped by about 30 to 40 percent since the shooting. Pro Sports, an apparel retailer, said sales were off by about 40 percent over the weekend.
Kiosk operators said they've taken a bigger hit and wondered whether the mall's owner, Indianapolis-based Simon Property Group, would offer some sort of financial relief or assistance.
The mall features 1 million square feet of retail space. Combined, the shopping center's more than 140 merchants serve as one of the city's largest private employers.
Simon spokesman Les Morris didn't respond to requests for comment.
"(Saturday) was awful. You can just see the sadness," said Erick Quinto, owner of iDeas, a computer and cellphone retailer and repair shop. "Sunday was like the same."
He said business Monday and Tuesday improved slightly.
"One of the things that I've noticed is that people are not bringing their kids," Quinto said.
There were several children running around the playground at the center Wednesday, although none were riding the popular mall train at midday.
Retailers said the crowd was light, even for a Wednesday, typically the slowest day of the week for the shopping center.
Aurora resident Jason Barrows returned to the mall for the first time Wednesday.
"This was an isolated incident," he said, shopping with his wife. "It really could've happened anywhere. It definitely affected us, but we can't be afraid to go to our mall."
Some merchants expect business to eventually return to normal, as it did in 2005 after a shooting inside the mall left one person dead and two injured.
The movie theater shooting killed 12 and injured 58 others.
Gallegos said one of the 12 was a frequent shopper at Fanzz. Tekle recognized a wounded victim as a regular too.
"Our sympathies go out to the victims," Gallegos said.

The Environmental Working Group (EWG)released a study that has identified the twelve most pesticide contaminated types of produce also known as the "Dirty Dozen"
The recent e coli outbreak in Europe is a great example of how tasteless and odorless dangers can exist on our food and that steps can be taken to try and prevent sickness.
In the case of pesticide contaminated produce consumers can try and buy organic alternatives.
The "Dirty Dozen" of pesticide contaminated produce!
Of the 700 samples that were tested, the produce that appears in the "Dirty Dozen" had pesticide residue on them 98% of the time (tests conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture).
For the produce that has this high incidence of pesticide residue, the EWG recommends buying organic.
The "Dirty Dozen" is listed from worst pesticide contamination to the least (worst)
- Apples;
- Celery;
- Strawberries;
- Peaches;
- Spinach;
- Imported nectarines;
- Imported grapes;
- Sweet bell peppers;
- Potatoes;
- Domestic blueberries;
- Lettuce; and
- Kale/collard greens.

In this first instalment of a three-part series, we outline best practices for early planning and organising of your major project.
You cannot successfully manage a major project simply by drawing on industry experience, following project management principles, and applying technology.
A critical aspect of success is an effective planning and organising effort. That is the first key concept which has been outlined in Part 1 of this Whitepaper. It encompasses team assignment, delivery strategy, estimating, risk management, buy-in from leadership, policies and procedures, assigning roles, and conducting effective meetings.
In Part 2, we will discuss a second key concept – how to effectively communicate and practice time-tested controls over cost, schedule, scope and quality. No single project director or manager can deliver a successful major project on his or her own. It is a team effort; along with the input, advice, and consent of appropriate stakeholders.
