Gender, Race, and the Policies of the Labor Department
Boris, Eileen, Honey, Michael, Monthly Labor Review
Gender, race, and the policies of the Labor Department
Promoting equal job opportunity for women and minority men, of little concern in the Department's early years, made headway in the 1960's and 1970's EILEEN BORIS AND MICHAEL HONEY
When Congress established the Department of Labor in 1913, both women and minority men faced limited employment opportunities. Throughout the Nation, white women in the labor force found themselves in low-paying industrial, clerical, and retail positions. Most Afro-Americans remainded in the South where they worked as sherecroppers and agricultural laborers or, if female, domestic servants. But, lured to the North by better-paying industrial work and the labor shortages of the World War 1 years, blacks would soon begin that mass exodus called the "Great Migration."(1)
(1)For a discussion of labor market segmentation by race and sex, see William Harris, The Harder We Run: Black Workers Since the Civil War (New York, Oxford University Press, 1982); and Alice Kessler-Harris, Out to Work: A History of Wage-Earning Women in the United States (New York, Oxford University Press, 1982).
While race and gender stood as key determinants of occupation, neither the employment status of women nor that of minority of men was among early DOL priorities. The first years of the Department were taken up with other matters, particularly the conciliation of labor disputes. Moreover, the Department took its modern form at the very time that President Woodrow Wilson, under congressional pressure, segregated Federal eating and restroom facilities by race and phased most blacks out of the civil service.(2)
(2)See John Hope Franklin and Alfred A. Moss, Jr., From Slavery to Freedom: A History of Negro Americans, 5th ed. (New York, Alfred A. Knopf, 1988), pp. 227-318. On the early history of the Department of Labor, see Jonathan Grossman, The Department of Labor (New York, Praeger Publishers, 1973), pp. 3-30.
Early departmental program reflected cultural attitudes towards both white women and Afro-Americans, and thus reinforced the existing division of labor by race and sex. They also suggest how the Department, and the Government as a whole, addressed the need of women seperately from those minorities, with the problems of minority women often getting lost between the two. The United States Employment Service, and agency of Labor Department, established a women's and girl's division at the end of 1916 "to guide (women) in desirable industry and avoidance of occupations and places where evil conditions exist." With its emphasis on "suitable" employments and its concern with labor standards such as minimum wages and maximum hours (known as protective labor legislation), this division embodied an attitude that would persist until the late 1960's: (White) women workers required protection on the job because their biology supposedly made them different from men, and thus only certain employments were appropriate for the mothers of the nation.(3) (3)For the history of protective legislation, see Judith Baer, The Chains of Protection: The Judicial Response to Women's Labor Legislation (Westport, CT, Greenwood Press, 1978). See also U.S. Department of Labor, Fourth Annual Report of the Secretary of Labor (Washington, U.S. Government Printing Office), pp. 62-64.
The social place of Afro-Americans similarily shaped DOL treatment of them. During the early years of the Great Migration, the U.S. Employment Service assisted blacks who sought employment in the North by advising them on available jobs; later, complaints from southern employers, who feared losing their abundant labor supply, led the agency to "withdraw its facilities from group migration."(4)
(4)Reports of the Department of Labor, 1917 (Washington, U.S. Government Printing Office, 1918), pp. 79-80.
With the onset of World War 1, the Nation hurried to mobilize its labor power while simultaneously increasing productivity. …

Brooklyn, NY (Sports Network) - While the Spurs were once again without Tim
Duncan and Manu Ginobili, they weren't needed as San Antonio generated a
similar result as their previous encounter with Brooklyn.
Tony Parker registered 29 points and 11 assists as the Spurs once again
breezed past the Nets, 111-86, on Sunday at Barclays Center.
The Spurs shot an impressive 12-for-19 from beyond the arc, with Danny Green
knocking down four from long distance and Matt Bonner connecting on all three
of his attempts.
Green scored 14 points and Bonner followed with 11 as San Antonio returned to
its winning ways after having its 11-game win streak snapped on Friday in
Brooklyn, which scored just five points in the third quarter of its 104-73
setback in San Antonio on Dec. 31, managed just 29 points over the final two
frames on Sunday for its sixth loss in nine games.
Joe Johnson scored 19 points, Brook Lopez had 18 with nine rebounds and Deron
Williams totaled 15 points in the setback.

The W3 Total Cache plugin is really amazing.
I've got a CDN working with CloudFront and Amazon S3. Super easy to set up.
But now if I insert an image into a post, linked to the large version of itself, the link has an appended query string, like this:
My problem is that the query string seems to be confusing my jQuery popup plugin's ability to realize that this image is a jpg.
Anyone know a way around this? The jQuery in question (in the Easy Fancybox plugin) uses the "Attribute Ends with" Selector in jQuery (http://api.jquery.com/attribute-ends-with-selector/) like this:
So, I suppose the query string just makes it so that that condition is no longer met.

Political Risk for Foreign Firms in the Western CIS - an Analysis on Belarus, Moldova, Russia and Ukraine*
Liuhto, Kari, Heikkilä, Marika, Laaksonen, Eini, Journal for East European Management Studies
This report analyses the political risks of Belarus, Moldova, Russia and Ukraine from a foreign firm's point of view. Russia's increasing economic nationalism means increasing investment risk for foreign investors. The political climate in Ukraine is unfavourable to foreign investment but not to the extent that it would prevent or seriously restrict the possibilities of operating in the market. The political risk in Belarus is related to the centralisation of authority over economic policy. In Moldova, political risks for foreign investors are clearly present in this economically and politically problematic situation. All in all, political risk remains elevated in Belarus, Moldova, Russia and Ukraine
Der Beitrag analysiert die politischen Risiken in Weißrussland, Moldawien, Russland und der Ukraine vom Standpunkt eines ausländischen Unternehmens aus. Der gesteigerte wirtschaftliche Nationalismus in Russland bedeutet eine Erhöhung der Investitionsrisiken für ausländische Kapitalanleger. Das politische Klima in der Ukraine ist für ausländische Investitionen zwar ungünstig, aber nicht derart, dass wirtschaftliche Aktivitäten ausgeschlossen oder wesentlich eingeschränkt würden. Das politische Risiko in Weißrussland ist verbunden mit einer Zentralisierung der Autorität in Bezug auf die Wirtschaftspolitik. In Moldawien liegen die politischen Risiken für ausländische Kapitalanleger in der problematischen wirtschaftlichen und politischen Situation begründet. Alles in allem besteht weiterhin ein erhöhtes politisches Risiko in Weißrussland, Moldawien, Russland und der Ukraine.
Keywords: political risks, foreign firms, Belarus, Moldova, Russia, Ukraine
1. Introduction
The main goal of this report is to analyse the political risk of these four markets from a foreign firm's point of view. The report consists of four independent chapters, which use a common conceptual approach in analysing the political risk of a foreign firm. Kari Liuhto analyses political risk in Russia (Chapter 2), Marika Heikkilä analyses the situation in Ukraine (Chapter 3) and Belarus (Chapter 4), and Eini Laaksonen analyses the risks faced in Moldova (Chapter 5).
2. Who doesn't risk, never gets to drink champagne- but how much one has to risk just to have a relaxed drink in Russia
Government-related risks: Russia is still developing democracy and its party system has not found its final form. An overwhelming concentration of power and a lack of genuine political debate prevail in Russia. Political parties play a secondary role, whereas the political limelights are occupied by the key political figures, who do not always represent the interests of their electorate but rather the interest of the state; be it that of the presidential administration, the government or some of the many security-related organisations. This elite repression does not exist in a large scale, but the prolonged hegemony of the ruling party (United Russia) may create situation where real political alternatives are no longer available.
The opinion polls show that the approval ratings of both the president and prime minister are exceptionally high, and therefore, one should not argue that elite illegitimacy exist in Russia as such. However, the main source of the illegitimacy originates from the fact that the State Duma lacks true opposition with an alternative political direction. The likelihood of immediate regime change is extremely low, even if the crisis has touched the Russian economy hard. Despite the prime minister having been forced to take unpopular decisions, the crisis has not collapsed the prime minister's popularity.
Russia's involvement in international organisations is not to become more active in the near future, on the contrary. For instance, Russia's over 15-year long road towards WTO membership received a rather surprising turnaround in June 2009, when Putin informed that Russia will join the WTO as a part of a customs union with Belarus and Kazakhstan. …

Answered: Why doesn't Model config in a store automatically look in '/models/' directory?
Not sure I understand why in every other instance of referring to components in the MVC architecture of Sencha Touch 2, that in nearly every instance of referring to Store or a View, it by default looks in myapp/store and myapp/view, but when you're defining the model for a store, I have to set the config: 'myapp.model.mymodel', to tell it specifically to look in the Model directory.
Same reason that xtype or xclass configs in an item array doesn't, just not built that way. In the soon future Sencha Cmd will be smart enough to look at these configs for the build part.

Sami Zayn at Wrestlemania
In a rather interesting bit of news, Sami Zayn is actually scheduled to work a match at Wrestlemania 32. He was scheduled to be in Dallas that weekend because he is wrestling Shinsuke Nakamura in a big match at a special NXT event. No word yet on what match Zayn is going to be wrestling in, but the guess is that it will more than likely be the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal, which may or may not take place before the pay per view.

Tammy Sytch in hospital again
Once again, Tammy Sytch is in the news. The former WWE diva revealed on social media that she is back in the hospital again for pancreatitis issues, which stemmed from her years of abusing alcohol. Interestingly enough, she advertised for a show this upcoming weekend. That has led to some suspicion that she is purposely skipping out on the appearance. It might have to do with the fact that she was recently paid handsomely for a sex tape.

TNA stars under gag order
Sometimes, the most interesting news in pro wrestling are revealed by accident. During a recent interview, Robbie E was asked about the postponed tour that TNA was supposed to do in India. In response, he stated that the performers were not allowed to reveal the reasons why the tour was postponed. That has led to speculations, such as financial concerns and tickets sales being below expectations.

Sting neck not broken
Some good news in regards to the injury that Sting suffered at Night of Champions during his WWE Heavyweight Championship match against Seth Rollins. While it still seems quite severe, reports have surfaced that his neck is definitely not broken. Some are still considered that it might be a spinal injury. Regardless, though, management is said to be hesitant about using him in the ring again.

McMahon avoids Hogan
When he found out that TMZ was going to posting a controversial video on him, Hulk Hogan immediately called WWE to inform them of the situation. The former world heavyweight champion revealed that Vince McMahon never even bothered to talk to him during the entire ordeal. Hogan stated that Triple H was the one that kept in touch with him. HHH was also the one that gave Hogan the bad news about their business separation.

In a rather strange twist of events, John Laurinaitis is now engaged to be married to Kathy Colace, who happens to be the mother of Brie Bella and Nikki Bella. The two of them revealed the news via social media by posting a photo of themselves at a celebration dinner with John Cena and Nikki. No word yet on whether or not Brie and Daniel Bryan were in attendance, as the two of them did not appear in any of the photos.

Jim Cornette on ROH
In a rather interesting bit of news, Jim Cornette is claiming that ROH is not being paid by Destination America, which recently picked up their second professional wrestling promotion. He is insinuating that the company was forced to take the deal because they wanted to be available in every state, which was not the case when they were simply being aired on the Sinclair syndicate.

Billy Corgan joins TNA
In a rather interesting bit of news, Billy Corgan has officially signed a contract with TNA, where he is now the Senior Producer of Creative and Talent Development. To put it more simply, he is now in charge of the creative department. The signing has brought a bit of mainstream media attention to the company, but that is not the sole reason why it was done. Corgan is actually a huge fan of wrestling and has years of experience in the business.

Paige performing topless
In a rather interesting bit of news, Vivid Cabaret ran a poll where they asked their performers about which celebrity that they would want to work topless with them. Katy Perry, Kate Upton, Rihanna and Scarlett Johansson made the list. Rounding out the top five is a person that WWE fans have been yearning to see more of. Paige was surprisingly voted in. It is highly unlikely that the front office would allow her to do it, unfortunately.

Monday Night Raw edited
Some rather interesting news are coming out of the latest episode of Monday Night Raw. Since it was taped in London, there was a delay in the airing in the United States. WWE took that opportunity to edit up some things to their favor. They made sure to tone down the huge reaction that Antonio Cesaro received from the fans. They used that pop and made it seem like it was Randy Orton that the audience was going wild for.

East Valley Tribune, Paul O'Neill) MAGS OUT, NO SALES, MANDATORY CREDIT, Associated Press
PHOENIX — For more than a half century, Bil Keane's clever "Family Circus" comics entertained readers with a mix of humor and traditional family values, intentionally simplistic because the author thought the American public needed the consistency.
Keane, who started drawing the one-panel cartoon featuring Billy, Jeffy, Dolly, P.J. and their parents in February 1960, died Tuesday at age 89. His comic strip is featured in nearly 1,500 newspapers across the country.
Jeff Keane, his son, said his father died of congestive heart failure. Bil Keane has a home in Paradise Valley, near Phoenix, but it was not immediately clear where he died.
Keane said in a 1995 interview with The Associated Press that the cartoon endured because of its consistency and simplicity.
"It's reassuring, I think, to the American public to see the same family," he said.
Although Keane kept the strip current with references to pop culture movies and songs, the context of his comic was timeless. The ghost-like "Ida Know" and "Not Me" who got blamed for household accidents were staples of the strip. The family's pets were dogs Barfy and Sam, and the cat, Kittycat.
"We are, in the comics, the last frontier of good, wholesome family humor and entertainment," Keane said. "On radio and television, magazines and the movies, you can't tell what you're going to get. When you look at the comic page, you can usually depend on something acceptable by the entire family."
His friend Charles M. Schulz, the late creator of "Peanuts," once said the most important thing about "Family Circus" is that it's funny.
"I think we share a care for the same type of humor," Schulz told The Associated Press in 1995. "We're both family men with children and look with great fondness at our families."
Keane said the strip hit its stride with a cartoon he did in the mid-1960s.
"It showed Jeffy coming out of the living room late at night in pajamas and Mommy and Daddy watching television and Jeffy says, 'I don't feel so good, I think I need a hug.' And suddenly I got a lot mail from people about this dear little fella needing a hug, and I realized that there was something more than just getting a belly laugh every day."
Even with his traditional side, Keane appreciated younger cartoonists' efforts. He listed Gary Larson's "The Far Side" among his favorites, and he loved it when Bill Griffith had his offbeat "Zippy the Pinhead" character wake up from a bump on the head thinking he was Keane's Jeffy.
Keane responded by giving Zippy an appearance in "Family Circus."
In later years, Keane continued to produce "Family Circus" with the help of his youngest son, Jeff. Keane sketched out the ideas, characters and captions and sent them to Jeff for inking.
Born in 1922, Keane taught himself to draw in high school in his native Philadelphia. Around this time, young Bill dropped the second "L'' off his name "just to be different."
He worked as a messenger for the Philadelphia Bulletin before serving three years in the Army, where he drew for "Yank" and "Pacific Stars and Stripes." He met his wife, Thelma ("Thel"), while serving at a desk job in Australia.
He started a one-panel comic in 1953 called "Channel Chuckles" that lampooned the up-and-coming medium of television. (In one, a mom in front of a television, crying baby on her lap, tells husband: "She slept throught two gun fights and a barroom brawl — then the commercial woke her up.")

King County's Brightwater sewage-treatment plant, already behind schedule, will be delayed months more because a tunnel boring machine 350 feet below ground level has been damaged, the Wastewater Treatment Division announced Friday.
King County's Brightwater sewage-treatment plant, already behind schedule, will be delayed months more because one of four tunnel boring machines has been damaged, the Wastewater Treatment Division announced Friday.
About 60 employees were laid off by a tunneling contractor Thursday, and the contractor's tunneling machine will remain idle "for several months" while the contractor makes repairs 320 feet below ground level.
The $1.8 billion sewer plant, being built on Highway 9 in Snohomish County north of Woodinville, was expected to begin treating sewage in 2010 but its commissioning had been pushed back to September 2011 before this week's problem.
The damaged machine has been digging a two-mile segment of a 13-mile tunnel that will carry treated sewage from the plant to Puget Sound.

Brightwater Project Manager Gunars Sreibers said the joint-venture contractor, Vinci/Parsons/Frontier-Kemper/RCI, discovered "a significant amount of wear" on a structural rim on the 17 ½-foot-diameter machine that is boring its way from North Kenmore to North Creek in Bothell.
"The contractor really hasn't given us the detail in terms of the magnitude of the issue and how long it's going to take to repair it. That will happen next week," Sreibers said.
The machine was idled from December to March for maintenance and repairs, but the damage to its rim is new, Sreibers said. The used machine, known as BT-2, or "Helene," was rebuilt at German manufacturer Herrenknecht's factory.
Repairs are difficult so far underground because of high water pressure. Work on the face of the boring machines usually is done by divers working in a pressurized air pocket.
Divers can only work for a limited period and then must undergo lengthy decompression.
Sreibers said it isn't yet known whether the contractor will use the pressurized-diving method or will counteract water pressure by drilling wells to remove water from the work area.

Tests for Breast Cancer Gene Raise Hard Choices
By DENISE GRADY
Published: March 5, 2002
In August 2000, Jean Rettura was lying on an operating table at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, about to undergo surgery, when the anesthesiologist looked down and said, from behind his mask, ''You were my Spanish teacher.''
''Did I pass you?'' she asked. He said she had, and then added that he was sorry she needed surgery.
''Don't be sorry,'' she said. ''You're saving my life.''
Mrs. Rettura, then 45, had recently learned that she carried a mutation in a gene called BRCA2, which gave her a greatly increased risk of breast and ovarian cancer. She had already had breast cancer and a mastectomy at age 31; her mother had died of breast cancer at 39, her grandmother at 41.
Once she found out she had the gene, she said, ''I thought, I can arm myself with this knowledge and take the necessary steps.'' For her, that meant having her ovaries and remaining breast removed, as a precaution.
Mutations in the genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 account for only a small proportion of breast cancer cases, 5 to 7 percent. But for women who carry either mutation, the added risk is large. Their odds of developing breast cancer by age 80 may be as high as 59 percent. Carriers are about 20 times as likely as the average woman to get breast cancer while they are young, and 9 times as likely to develop ovarian cancer. Men with the mutations also have an increased risk of breast cancer, though not as high as women's. About 950,000 people in the United States are thought to have BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations.
The ability to detect the mutations -- which were identified in 1994 and 1995 -- has forced many people with breast cancer or a family history of breast or ovarian cancer to make difficult decisions about whether to be tested and what to do if they test positive. The knowledge is not easy to live with. Carriers are offered various options, including screening to try to detect tumors early, taking the drug tamoxifen to prevent breast cancer and the harsher route of having their breasts and ovaries removed in hopes of avoiding cancer entirely.
But those options are imperfect. Mammograms can miss breast tumors, especially in younger women, who tend to have dense tissue. Screening for ovarian cancer, with blood tests and ultrasound exams, has a high error rate. Prophylactic surgery looks promising, though its long-term effects -- physical and psychological -- are not known.
But a new report suggests that genetic testing and counseling may nonetheless be benefiting BRCA carriers, by helping them find breast and ovarian cancers early enough to improve their chances of being cured. Many people who learn they are carriers, like Mrs. Rettura, also try to reduce their risk by having organs removed before cancer has a chance to develop.
In an article in the current issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology, a team of Sloan-Kettering researchers led by Dr. Kenneth Offit describe the experience of 251 BRCA carriers -- 233 women and 18 men -- who were tested and counseled between May 1995 and November 2000.
The study participants ranged from 24 to 79 years old, with an average age of 47.7. They were followed for an average of two years. Two-thirds had mutations in BRCA1, and the rest in BRCA2. Before entering the study, 59 percent had already had breast cancer, including 6 of the 18 men. Ten percent had had ovarian cancer.
After counseling, 29 women decided to have prophylactic mastectomies, and 90 had their ovaries removed. Others chose screening tests -- yearly mammograms, monthly self-examination of the breasts and breast examination by a doctor two to four times a year. Screening for ovarian cancer, recommended for mutation carriers 35 and older, consisted of twice-yearly ultrasound exams and blood tests for a substance called CA-125, which is sometimes high in women with ovarian tumors.
The screening detected 12 cases of breast cancer, all early stage. Half were found by mammograms, and half by the women during self-examinations. The half not found by mammograms may have grown suddenly during the year between the tests, and Dr. Offit said that may mean that high risk women should be screened more often, perhaps with mammograms once a year and M.R.I. scans at the six-month midpoint between mammograms.
Two early breast tumors, not detected by any testing, were also found in the breast tissue removed from women who had chosen prophylactic mastectomy.
Nine early ovarian tumors were also found -- five by screening tests, and four in women who were having their ovaries removed preventively. ''One of the greatest surprises has been the finding of the early ovarian cancers,'' Dr. Offit said. ''This is fairly dramatic.''
Ovarian cancer has few symptoms in its early stages, he said, and is usually not detected until it is advanced. As a result, it has a high death rate.
''I had not seen an early ovarian cancer in 10 years of treating cancers at Memorial,'' Dr. Offit said. ''It was only when we began doing BRCA testing that we began seeing early ones, and very early ovarian cancer should be as amenable to cure as any other cancer.''

Skies will be cloudy tonight in advance of an Arctic Cold Front. It will become very breezy and scattered rain and snow showers will be possible through the morning hours of Tuesday. This system will steadily move through the mid-Atlantic states. Skies will clear and chilly sunshine will prevail for most of the midday and afternoon hours. High pressure will settle across area for the middle and end of the work week. This will keep the weather dry with a modest warming trend.

Pryor? as in before. cause she's a clone
Pryor, yes. First appeared late '88/early '89 in the Uncanny X-Men, X-Factor, New Mutants crossover titled "Inferno." I can't believe she's still around. She was a one-story villainess if ever I've seen one. Someone at Marvel must've been pretty g.d. desperate for ideas to pull this one's file out of the bin.
@rattybad: Wasn't she a clone of Jean Grey? I think she was intended to be a foil for Emma Frost – a black witch to Emma's white witch.
@hufnmouth: No, she showed up as a non-mutant back while Jean Grey was still dead the first time. She was a foil for Scott Summers. First she started out as the innocent woman who looked kind of like Jean, so Scott married her and had a kid with her, then abandoned her to form X-factor. She stuck around with the X-men and revealed herself as a clone of Jean Grey created by Mr. Sinister and proceeded to gain superfucking powers to move the Inferno plot line along. She was eventually merged back into Jean Grey, but still shows up in alternate universes, etc.
Well, Maddie is alive (in a manner of speaking) and well in the current Uncanny arc, gathering some "sisters" to mess the X-Men up. Also, a few years ago she was semi-resurrected by Nate Grey (AKA X-Man) but disappeared when he dispersed himself into every living being to save Earth from an alien invasion (in a very stupid story, might I add).
I'd like to point out that she wasn't evil until she was corrupted by a demon while in a coma, and she was originally cloned by Mr. Sinister upon Jean's first apparent death simply so that she can have a baby with Scott Summers.
@hufnmouth: As I recall, she was intended to mess with Scott Summer's head, since she looked so much like the lost Jean Grey. So I'm guessing the "foil" to Emma Frost is a recent development? I haven't read much in the way of X-Men since it took a nosedive in '92. Once Chris Claremont left and they let Fabian Nicieza and Jim Lee write stories, I walked away, though I still piece together recent storylines from online sources. I'm opposed to any pairing other than Scott/Jean. Emma Frost…I don't know why she even exists as an X-Men, much less why she'd need a foil.
@rattybad: It's pretty obvious that she exists to be a Jean Grey without all the baggage that being an actual Jean Grey entails.
Plus she dresses way better.
