TC TO LADY ASHBURTON ; 10 January 1852; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18520110-TC-LA-01; CL 27: 8-9
Chelsea, 10 jany, 1852—
Dear Lady,—Your Letter yesterday lay visible upon the lobby-table for some hour or two before I saw the inside of it: poor Jane had taken cold the day before, and was confined to bed; as she still is, tho' I think getting better now. I know not what you did to her that monday morning; but she has looked much happier ever since, and is at her ease beside me; a result which I cannot but bless, and rejoice at, for her sake and for mine. You are indisputably an astonishing woman; and have a gift like no other alive!—
I forwarded the letter to Clough,1 to his old address at least, whence it will soon reach him, and be a glad word when it arrives. I had seen him here two days before, and heard of his fortune,—which one loves not to reckon a misfortune for such a man; tho', I understand, he is very poor, and will have his own tuggings in the wrestle with Destiny. But a tough man is not the worse for that; nay the better, if he can stand to it. "Under gold thrones," says Richter, "how many giant souls lie pressed to death!"2— —Twistleton was here one evg, full of goodhumour, thinnish practical speculation, and very rotatory in his gestures; he is now to the country (whitherward not said) for a month; and we see him no more till the new season. Poor Eliot Warburton! Did you see in the Newspapers how he had perished miserably in the Steamer that was burnt at sea? He went that very day we returned home, "to Mexico," to write a Book for needful money, I suppose: poor soul, I tried twice to call on him just before coming to The Grange; the first time I had tried, and it was never to succeed. "Never," with Eternity behind it, is such a word in this world,—enough to give the smallest thing a kind of greatness.
If Lady Sandwich3 buy that House I cannot say but I shall feel really glad: however, there must no word be said, I suppose. Philippe Egalité lived within 4 doors in the same street in 1789:4—will that recommend the locality?
Ever since returning from The Grange I have been the victim of Stupidity; dark as an owl; and indeed have done little but sleep, and read Jomini (on War)5 witht understanding of him. "Highway robbery" is the eligible line, your Ladyship thinks? Well, we shall see,—were our faculties once awakened. Next week I will write again. Basta [Enough] till then.
Yours ever Der einzige [The one and only] Schnabel6— Ihre [Your] Schnabel

Everything online journalists need to protect their legal rights. This free resource culls from all Reporters Committee resources and includes exclusive content on digital media law issues.
GEORGIA--A law prohibiting all off-site outdoor advertising by businesses offering adult entertainment violates the establishments' free speech rights, the Supreme Court of Georgia ruled in early November.
A state court judge in Atlanta decided in early August not to hold The Atlanta Journal-Constitution in contempt of court for refusing to disclose confidential sources related to stories about Richard Jewell, at least until an appeal of the order can be heard.
GEORGIA--The public owns Dr. Martin L. King Jr.'s 1963 "I Have a Dream" speech, not his estate, a federal District Court in Atlanta ruled in late July.
GEORGIA--The Georgia Supreme Court in Atlanta ruled in early July that an Albany TV station may install video equipment in a courtroom for one murder trial but agreed that video cameras were correctly excluded from an earlier related trial because the publicity from the first might have adversely influenced the second.
GEORGIA--A state court in Atlanta in late April ordered a newspaper to reveal the identities of its confidential sources to Richard Jewell, who is suing the newspaper for libel.
Judge John Mather ordered The Atlanta Journal-Constitution to comply with a discovery request from Jewell, the security guard who was initially identified as a suspect in the Centennial Olympic Park bombing.
GEORGIA-- Media organizations could be taxed for reporting crime stories under a bill introduced in early February in the Georgia General Assembly.
GEORGIA--A Superior Court judge in Decatur granted a defense motion for a mistrial in late July after one witness saw another key witness's testimony on Court TV.
Tracy Rhames, who has spent 20 years trying to prove her father, Jan Barry Sandlin, killed her two-year-old brother, admitted in court that she disobeyed the judge's order and watched her mother's testimony on Court TV.
ROUNDUP--On June 26, the U.S. Supreme Court held that two provisions of the Communications Decency Act, criminalizing the conveyance of "indecent" and "patently offensive" material to minors or the display of such material in a manner available to minors, impermissibly abridged the free speech provision of the First Amendment.
GEORGIA--Under the state shield law, a news organization does not have to turn over unaired videotape to a company that is merely gathering evidence in anticipation of a possible lawsuit, according to a Superior Court in Atlanta.
GEORGIA--Almost six months after a Federal Bureau of Investigation leak identified him as the number-one suspect in last summer's bombing in Centennial Olympic Park, Richard Jewell remains at the center of controversies over the handling of the investigation.

The holiday season is creeping up upon us and it's only natural that your sweet tooth kicks in. Unfortunately, there's no Hokulani Bake Shop in Denver, but there certainly are numerous other options to satisfy your cravings.
There's really nothing better than a city with endless dining options, no matter what time of day you happen to feel indulgent. The Metro Area certainly has its fair share of offerings, but sometimes venturing out and into the Greater Denver Area, can lead to the most rewarding surprises.
Up and into the mountains on the way to evergreen, Genesee's Chart House that overlooks the colorful city of Denver, boasts the "Hot Chocolate Lava Cake" as their signature dessert. You have to order it early as it bakes for a good 30 minutes, but the liquid Godiva center will have you at first bite.
At BJ's Brewhouse, the eclectic restaurant/bar out in Broomfield, you can expect a vibrant brick structure covered in contemporary wall art, contrasted by couture chandeliers and beer, and completed with ever-so-sweet-hot-out-the-oven cookies, making for a very worthwhile pit stop up to 11pm at night.
The good old American milk and cookies tradition will never be the same again. From red velvet, to raspberry white chocolate, triple chocolate and even a gluten free option, the moist and flavorful cookie and ice cream combination offers an ever so satisfying form of this otherwise simple dessert.
And on the East side of town, Banzai Sushi on Leetsdale Avenue has a dessert box that comprises of warm banana tempura, cool mochi, fresh berries and melted chocolate. Now there's a good reason to go for sushi.
My next stop on the dessert train this festive season – D Bar in Uptown Denver – it won this year's 5280 Reader's Choice for Top Dessert. I'm going to have to put it to the test myself!

Diana Krall's upcoming album "Wallflower," to be released Oct. 24 on Verve Records, will feature a never-before-recorded Paul McCartney song called "If I Take You Home Tonight." The song was a leftover from the sessions for McCartney's "Kisses on the Bottom" album she did with him the night of Feb. 9, 2012 at the Capitol Records tower in Hollywood. Krall's band backed McCartney on the album. McCartney was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in a ceremony at the tower that day.
Krall talked about the song in an interview with the Oregonian. "I still had a copy of the music and I asked him if he was O.K. if I did the song for my record and he said, 'Sure,' so we recorded that and it came out just gorgeous. It's a new Paul McCartney song that's never been recorded that I'm pretty honored to have."
It was originally revealed in April that she was to record the McCartney song, but the title was not originally named. Besides the McCartney song, the new album "Wildflower" will feature Krall's covers of a variety of pop songs, many as duets with guest stars. The tracks include the Mamas & the Papas' "California Dreamin'," the Eagles' "Desperado," "Superstar," done by Delaney & Bonnie, the Carpenters and Rita Coolidge, Elton John's "Sorry Seems To Be the Hardest Word" and duets of "Feels Like Home" with Bryan Adams and Michael Bublé joining her on Gilbert O'Sullivan's "Alone Again (Naturally)."
A deluxe version with four added tracks will be available exclusively on Amazon.com. The bonus tracks will include her version of the Beatles' "In My Life" and the Georgie Fame song "Yeh Yeh" featuring Fame in a duet with Krall.
Krall will begin a U.S. tour to support the album in early November after several dates in Europe. The U.S. tour begins in Phoenix, Arizona, and will include stops in California, Arizona, New York and Florida among the shows.

Cult Heroes: Richard Ord
by Ashley Houghton
Fans' favourite Richard Ord takes this week's spotlight.
'Who needs Cantona when we've got Dickie Ord?'
Richard Ord epitomised the boyhood dream of playing for your home-town club.
'Dickie', as he went on to be known as, made his Sunderland debut back in November 1987 and went on to make over 250 appearances for the Black Cats.
A tall and reliable defender, Ord was the complete fans' favourite and will be remembered for the song released by a group of fans; titled 'The Dickie Ord Song'.
The lyrics to the 'Dickie Ord Song' tell the whole story of a player who felt blessed by the opportunity to wear the red and white shirt.
'The great thing is and it makes us proud – if he wasn't on the pitch, he'd be with us in the crowd.'
During his time at the club, Sunderland were runners-up in the 1992 FA Cup final and Murton-born Ord was also part of the promotion-winning side of 1987-88 and Championship winning team 1996-97.
And, though he was sold in 1998 to QPR, he is still a regular amongst the fans at the Stadium of Light.

School board members shared the job of breaking ground for the district's new $8 million sports complex with members of the Highland High football team.
At a ceremony Monday night in Granger Township, officials said they can't wait for the community to visit and enjoy the new sports complex at the school when it's completed next August.
"They've been working really hard to get work in before the snow flies," Superintendent Catherine Aukerman said.
The project is expected to cost up to $8 million and will include a stadium that will seat up to 5,000. Football and soccer teams will play games at the stadium and track meets can be conducted on the eight-lane track that will circle the stadium's field. The complex also will have tennis courts.
"Our (current) stadium has a field that can no longer stand up to Ohio weather," Aukerman said.
She said she hopes that in addition to the sports teams who will benefit from the complex, band students and physical education classes will be able to take advantage of the facility.
Aukerman thanked the community for their support, and introduced a number of people who already made donations to the stadium to ease the financial burden on the district.
The Highland Athletic Boosters presented a check for $225,000 to the district Monday. Dan Petek, president of Castek Aluminum, announced his company would donate a hornet sculpture for the main entrance to the stadium. He said the sculpture is in the design phase, but Aukerman said his donation is valued at between $75,000 and $100,000.
Members of the Highland Hornets' football team attended the event, and though many were seniors, they said they were happy for their younger teammates who would have the opportunity to play in a better stadium.
"I'm pretty excited for them; it's going to be really nice," said Tony Svoboda, a 17-year-old senior.
Tyler Frederick, a junior lineman on the team, said he's looking forward to a locker room that's a better fit to his large physique.
"I actually can't fit to sit comfortably," he said. "There's going to be a lot more room."
Students said the feature they were most excited about was the hornet sculpture. The centerpiece will be a source of school pride, a larger-than-life mascot.
"It's going to be so sweet," Frederick said. "It's going to be awesome."

If you visit Lollypop Farm, you will see many horses in the pastures along the Farm Walk. Horses come to us for many different reasons, but more often than not, it's because the owner could no longer afford the horse's care. The cost of horse care has more than doubled in the last ten years.
Because we turn no animal away, thousands of dollars are spent each year caring for horses at Lollypop Farm — from food and shelter to enrichment and veterinary care. Did you know, for example, that we will often bring in outside vets with large animal experience if one becomes ill or injured? As you can imagine, with over 10 horses on the campus at any given time, expenses add up fast.
Horses also come to Lollypop Farm when our Law Enforcement Department removes them from cruelty situations. One such example is "Proud Mary" who came to us in January 2012. She is a Thoroughbred who had been raced the previous year but was sold at the end of the season. That owner allowed her to become horribly malnourished in just a matter of months. When she first arrived at Lollypop Farm, Mary was in very poor health. After months of vigilant care by our staff to make sure that she got what she needed to gain weight, she has blossomed into a beautiful lady!
Please help horses like Proud Mary by becoming a sponsor of the horses at Lollypop Farm.
Can you help sponsor our horses? If you would like to sponsor our horses, please select a donation amount. $50 will help us to care for one horse for one month, $150 for three months, and $600 for a full year.
Thank you so much for thinking of the horses at Lollypop Farm!

Photos: NASA's Voyager 1 to leave our Solar System after 35 years
Posted by Glen Barber on 09/04/2012 1:58pm PDT
September 5, 2012 marks the 35th anniversary of Voyager 1′s launch to Jupiter and Saturn. It is now flitting around the fringes of the solar system, which is enveloped in a giant plasma bubble. This hot and turbulent area is created by a stream of charged particles from the sun. Outside the bubble is a new frontier in the Milky Way – the space between stars.

Evaluation of a guarded bronchoscopic method for ...
|Evaluation of a guarded bronchoscopic method for microbial sampling of the lower airways in foals
|A. M. Hoffman, L. Viel, C. A. Muckle, D. B. Tesarowski
|Canadian Journal of Veterinary Research = Revue Canadienne de Recherche Veterinaire
|Start page
|End page
|A novel method to reduce contamination of the bronchoscope during microbial sampling of the lower airways of foals was evaluated. Methylene blue (MB) was used as a nasopharyngeal dye marker to assess the relative contamination from the upper airways of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) specimens obtained by standard bronchoscopy (SB) and a "guarded" bronchoscopic method (GB). For GB, a clear sterile cellulose sheath was fitted over the bronchoscope in an effort to protect the endoscope tip and channel from contamination. Methylene blue was detected visually in seven of eight BAL samples from foals following SB, but in none of the samples recovered by GB (p less than 0.001). Significantly less MB was detected in BAL by spectrophotometry in the GB group as well (p less than 0.02). The GB was next employed to study the microbial flora in the lower airways of healthy weaned foals (n = 30). Bacteria were isolated from 29 of 30 (97%) BAL samples, and in moderate or large numbers from 26 of 30 (87%) of the foals. Potential pathogens, including Bordetella bronchiseptica, Streptococcus zooepidemicus, Staphylococcus aureus, Mycoplasma felis and Streptococcus pneumoniae, were cultured from the lower airways of foals. In conclusion, the bronchoscope and bronchoalveolar lavage specimens were readily contaminated by a dye marker placed in the nasopharynx of foals, and the degree of contamination was significantly reduced by sheathing the endoscope. This contamination during bronchoscopy may obscure the interpretation of isolates from BAL specimens from foals, which may possess a bacterial flora in the lower airways without cytological evidence of inflammation.

The Department of Education requires a school to cancel any Perkins loan upon receipt of a death certificate or other certification recognized by the state.
Borrowers who become totally and permanently disabled may qualify for cancellation of this loan. Permanent and total disability is the inability to work and earn money because of an impairment expected to continue indefinitely or result in death. An application for total and permanent disability must be filed, including any support documents as stated by the University. In addition, a doctor's affidavit that the borrower is 100% disabled is required.
Social Security disability does not guarantee Perkins loan cancellation.
After receiving the application, the Student Services Loan Department will determine whether the application is viable. At that time, the account will be assigned to the U.S. Department of Education. From that point on, Southern Oregon University no longer holds the note for this account. The Department of Education will monitor the account for three years before determining whether the account will be cancelled. If at any time the borrower is able to work or receive money to attend school, the Department of Education will resume collection on the loan.

Syracuse Chiefs — ALL STAR BREAK
Multiple sources are reporting that Brad Peacock will be joining the Chiefs starting rotation but the move has not been officially made yet, thus it's not known what ripple effect will be. Most likely: A player will be placed on the DL in Syracuse, Oliver Perez will be activated from the temporary inactive list.
Harrisburg 6 Richmond 3
• Martis (W, 7-3) 6IP, 9H, 3R, 2ER, BB, 10K

• Rhinehart 2-4, 2R, 2B
• T Moore 2-4, R, 2R HR, 3RBI
Shairon Martis continued his case for a promotion to Syracuse, striking out ten and walking only one while beating Richmond for his seventh win of the season. Harrisburg scored five of its six runs via the long ball. In the fourth, Tim Pahuta hit a three run shot that scored Bill Rhinehart and Archie Gilbert. In the sixth, Harrisburg scored an unearned run when Bill Rhinehart reached on an error in front of a Tyler Moore two-run clout. Hassan Pena, Corey VanAllen, and Pat Lehman combined for three innings of scoreless relief to seal the victory. With the win, Harrisburg improves to 53-36, good for a 5½ game lead over Bowie and Richmond.
Potomac 11 Lynchburg 10
• Demny 1⅔ IP, 6H, 7R, 7ER, BB, 2K, 3HR
• Smoker (W, 3-1) 1⅓ IP, 1H, 0R, BB, 2K

• Higley 3-5, 3R, 2B, 2RBI
• Bloxom 2-4, R, HR, BB, 2RBI
Overcoming deficits of 7-1 and 8-3, Potomac put up four crooked numbers in the 4th, 6th, 7th & 9th innings and held on for an 11-10 win. Paul Demny gave up a season-high seven runs on six hits, including three home runs, in just one and 2/3rds innings. J.R. Higley led the 16-hit attack with a 3-for-5 game and 2RBI as five P-Nats had multiple hits. Josh Smoker got the win in relief while Hector Nelo got save #10 with an unearned run on two hits in the ninth. The win keeps pace with Frederick and maintains the ½-game lead for first place in the Carolina League North.
Hagerstown Suns — OFF DAY
Tonight begins a seven-game road trip to Georgia and Kentucky, with four against the Augusta Greenjackets and three against the Lexington Legends. The Suns are 12-6 and hold a one-game lead over first-half division champ Hickory.
Auburn 3 Jamestown 0
• M Rodriguez (W, 1-1) 5IP, 3H, 0R, BB, 4K
• Mirowski (H, 1) 3IP, 5H, 0R, 0BB, 2K
• Kreis (S, 2) 1IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, K
• Montilla 3-3, R, BB, 2SB
• Rowe 1-3, R, SB
Manny Rodriguez (W, 5IP), Richie Mirowski(H, 3IP), and Alex Kreis (S, 1IP) combined for a 3-0 shutout of the Jamestown Jammer, taking the series two games to one. Angel Montilla led the Doubleday offense with a 3-for-3 effort, inculding two stolen bases and a walk. Bowden's folly played shortstop, committing an error but turning two double plays. The win improves Auburn to 14-11, one game behind Jamestown in the Pinckny division of the New York-Penn League.
GCL Marlins 13 GCL Nationals 12
• King 4⅓ IP, 3H, 4R, 3ER, 2BB, K
• Arnold 1⅔ IP, 2H, 0R, 0BB, 0K
• Mock (BS, 1; L, 0-1) ⅓ IP, 5H, 4R, 4ER, 0BB, K
• Je Valdez 2-4, R, 2B, RBI
• A Ramirez 2-5, R, 2B, 3RBI
In a battle of generosity, Garrett Mock proved to be in the most giving mood. He gave up 4 runs in one third of an inning to turn an 11-9 win into a 13-12 loss. The Marlins tried to give it away as well, allowing the Nationals to score 12 runs on just seven hits thanks to six errors and eight walks. With the loss, the G-Nats fall to 8-11, good for fourth place and 4.5 games behind the GCL Mets.
DSL Cubs2 5 DSL Nationals 0
• Pineyro (L, 1-4) 5IP, 4H, 2R, 0ER, 3BB, 4K, WP
• Barrientos 2IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, K
• N Ortega 0-2, BB
• W Rodriguez OF assist @ 2B
Three DSL Cubs2 pitchers combined on a no-hitter to defeat the DSL Nationals 5-0. Just two D-Nats reached base: one via walk, the other via error. Ivan Pineyro took the loss, pitching five innings and allowing two unearned runs on four hits and three walks. The D-Nats committed four errors on defense, but did throw out a runner at second base. The loss drops the DSL Nationals to 17-18, 5½ games off the pace set by the DSL Rangers.

Honestly, if Mock is doing that poorly in the GCL, it must be just about time to set him loose.
Jim Callis of Baseball America just came out with his Top 50 prospects and the Nats have 3, count 'em 3 on the list.
1) Harper
9) Anthony Rendon
42) Peacock
Not too shabby.
Maybe I'm in the minority on this, but seeing unsigned players on a team's prospect list just feels wrong.
Yes, it feels very wrong as they arent in the MiLN yet, how can you be a prospect and not be in minor league ball?
What a pessimist!
Rendon wasn't on the list. There was a question put to Jim on the BA site where he saw the new draft case if they were put on the prospect list. Still it's cool that he felt Rendon would go that high. The upside on him is spectacular. The downside is well we don't want to go there.
Bill Rhinehart = a young matt stairs. Is that a good comparison for those who have seen him play. I have only seen highlights on youtube at this point.
It's easy to forget this now, but at one time Stairs was NOT a defensive liability in the outfield. Rhinehart's footspeed and defensive skills are definitely on the low end of the scale (even at 26 yo).
Anyone know why Lombardozzi has been playing SS at Syracuse?
He's also cooled in his last 10 games to "just" a .283 BA. His OPS in that period is also just .667 due to only on BB. The SLG is also slowed with only 4 XBH.
Antonelli has also cooled recently. I guess he and Lombo switch at SS/2B a bit because they profile the same defensively?
It might have something to do with Knoor having four infielders (Lombardozzi, Antonelli, Bynum, & Hullett) that he's using in a rough rotation / matchup.
My guess is that they are "trying" to turn him into a utility infielder ala Jamey Carroll. But as Sue and others have said is arm is too weak for SS.
My guess on Lombardozzi is that, if he gets a callup, it will be at shortstop. I doubt they'd change Espinosa mid year and risk giving him too much to handle. If Lombardozzi hits as he has been, next year at spring training they switch.
Van Allen has 19Ks and 1BB in his lat 10+ innings, not too shabby.
So, who are the big prospects that are rule V elligable next year.
I have
Tom Milone
Brad Peacock
Steve Lombardozzi
Bill Rhinehart
Anyone I am missing?
I would throw Arnesen and even Martis on that list.
Keith Law has clarified his take on Peacock: reliever. He finds the curve to be hard to control, if Peacock's description as a "knuckle curve" is accurate, thinks his delivery is very hard to repeat, and knocks his size.
He'll have to change his tune if Peacock has the same success in AAA.
I diagree. I know its still early, but Peacock I think will have a legitimate chance. Lets see how he does in AAA…hint,hint,hint. Promote him!
Peacock is pitching in Detwiler's slot in the rotation this Saturday for Syracuse. Remember, Brad Meyers, Tom Milone and Craig Stammen are also still there! (Pointedly at Bill Ladson) and two of those guys might be due for R5 eligibility.
Sue, I have a article proposal that Ive worked up, care to give me your email?
A fair point regarding KLaw. He initially struck me as just bitter that he didn't have a MLB gig anymore (while Bowden did), but I look at him now as another voice on the prospect side of the equation. It's too bad nearly all of his stuff is buried behind the subscription wall at ESPN.
Sue's right BinM if you follow KLaw on twitter its his "schtick". He's trying to be humorous. He likes to wave his Harvard education in your face a bit. But, like all the other sports pundits he follows the herd and the trending teams. Watch out when that happens to the Nationals.
On that note I am now wondering if perhaps we've been too hard on the Nationals draft? Even the distant pre-Strasburg drafts? Consider:
SP Strasburg 1st 2009
SP Zimmmermann 2nd 2007
SP Lannan 11th 2005
SP Milone 10th 2008
SP Peacock 41st 2006
SP Meyers 5th 2007
SP Stammen 12th 2005
SP Detwiler 1st 2007
SP Solis 2nd 2010
SP Cole 4th 2010
SP Ray 12th 2010
SP Meyer 1st 2011
SP Purke 3rd 2011
SP Turnbull 4th 2011
RP Storen 1st 2009
RP Kimball 12th 2006
RP Carr 18th 2006
RP Manno 26th 2010
3B Zimmerman 1st 2005
SS Desmond 3rd 2004
2B Espinosa 3rd 2008
MIF Rendon 1st 2011
UTIL Lombardozzi 19th 2008
1B Marerro 1st 2006
RF Harper 1st 2010
CF Goodwin S1 2011
Just picking guys who are already on the 40-man or who I suspect will be on the 40-man sooner rather than later …
Not a bad starting lineup all things considered?
KLaw is pretty popular regular reading and that's why he is "buried" behind the subscription wall. Much prefer him to regular Riggleman apologist SI's Heyman … he's still at it.
Bowden isn't because … well he's Bowden … still trying to live off his past "laurels". His video / pod cast was better because he would Skype in other GM's to discuss the why's and wherefores of being a GM in baseball. A lot of what they had to say (as opposed to JimBo) was interesting and informative. Sometimes provocative. His new blog with his new employer is just "meh".
peric very very very well said

Event planning has been given a central position in the mix communication. It has also become a key driver in the management of the company.

Exempt to Non-Exempt Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
Employees who are normally in an FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act) exempt status position, such as MPPs, lose their FLSA exemption during the workweek a furlough day is observed. This means that for pay and time reporting purposes, these employees are treated as non-exempt employees during furlough weeks. An exception to this general rule applies to teachers/ faculty, lawyers, and doctors.
To download Furloughs - Question & Answers for more information.
Q. What is the primary difference between FLSA exempt status and non-exempt status employees?
A. FLSA exempt status employees are considered "salaried" and are not eligible for overtime for hours worked in excess of 40 in a work week. Non-exempt status employees are considered "hourly." They are paid for hours worked - and receive overtime payment or Compensatory Time Off (CTO) for hours worked in excess of 40 in a work week.
Q. What constitutes the workweek?
A. For employees on a regular schedule, the workweek begins at 12:01 am on Sunday and ends at 12:00 midnight the following Saturday. This is the case for both exempt and non-exempt status positions.
Q. How does the workweek differ from a work schedule?
A. A "normal" or "regular" work schedule is typically Monday through Friday, 8:00 am - 5:00 pm with an hour for lunch. The work week is a seven day period, beginning at 12:01am Sunday and ending at 12:00 midnight Saturday.
Q. How many hours can employees work during furlough weeks?
A. During a furlough week, exempt status employees are converted to non-exempt status. Employees should only work 32 hours during a furlough work week. It is important to remember that the work week is not just Monday through Friday, but is a seven day period which extends from 12:01 am Sunday through 12:00 midnight the following Saturday.
Q. What constitutes "work" during a furlough week?
A. "Work" includes tasks that are normal work tasks such as reading or responding to emails; listening or responding to voicemail messages; reading work related documents; writing/drafting correspondence, etc. This includes performing tasks during the lunch period as well.
Q. What if during a furlough week I volunteer to work through lunch or check my blackberry in the evening, or take work home with me or do other work for more than 32 hours during the furlough weeks?
A. While in a non-exempt status during furlough weeks, the University is legally required to pay for all hours worked. Employees are not legally able to "volunteer" to perform work without being paid. Since the intent of the furlough is to save payroll dollars, paying you for more than 32 hours during furlough weeks would be counter to that purpose.
Therefore, any time worked over 32 hours during a furlough weeks must be assigned and authorized by the appropriate administrator.
Q. What if an employee is authorized to work more than 32 hours in a furlough week?
A. Hours worked over 32 but less than 40 will be recorded and paid at the straight time rate. Hours in excess of 40 will be recorded and paid at the overtime rate.
Q. Can employees, such as MPPs, who are FLSA exempt except during furlough weeks, receive Compensatory Time Off (CTO) if they work more than 40 hours in a furlough week?
A. No, employees who are otherwise FLSA exempt, but who become non-exempt during furlough weeks, will not be eligible to earn or accrue Compensatory Time Off (CTO) for overtime hours worked during a furlough week. The campus must pay out any overtime hours worked by the employee in the respective pay period.
Q. Can exempt employees be required to work additional hours during non-furlough weeks to offset the furlough days?
A. While in an exempt status, employees are not subject to the overtime requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act. However, the intent is not to create an excessive or unreasonable workload during a week in which employees remain in their exempt status (non-furlough weeks).
Q. What should my work schedule include?
A. As with non-exempt employees, exempt status employees during a furlough week will have a set work schedule which includes:
Set start time and end time.
Typically a 60 minute lunch break.
Normally, four 8 hour work days within the furlough work week.
Q. What if I have a medical appointment or need to take some time off during a furlough week for personal business?
A. During a furlough week, employees are considered non-exempt and are only paid for actual hours worked. Employees will request (and record) their absences as non-exempt employees. For example, they will record the use of sick leave if they attend a medical appointment during the work day or annual leave for personal business that takes them away from work during the course of their work day.
Q. How do I complete my time and attendance record during a furlough week?
A. Hours are recorded on the time and attendance report in leave increments taken. The furlough day will be tracked by using a new code added to time and attendance. Employees will select the code "FUR" (for furlough) and insert it to record the days they are taking furlough.

Ask and you shall receive, Bieb. Following his call to action asking fans to help select the cover for upcoming single "Boyfriend," the tweets of Justin Bieber's 18.5 million followers have been taken into consideration. Beliebers have succeeded in choosing the pictorial representation for his upcoming single, which their king revealed on Monday via Twitter:

About Holy Trinity
History | Mission | Directions | Clergy & Staff | Contact Us | Request an Appointment
Holy Trinity Orthodox Church began in 1980 as a campus ministry of the Orthodox Church in America's (OCA) Archdiocese of Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania. In time, it attracted more and more individuals from the surrounding community who desired to worship regularly in town rather than travel up to 40 miles to attend already-existing parishes in neighboring communities.
In 1993, a small group of 16 souls ventured out in faith to purchase our current building at 119 South Sparks Street. Only three years later (1996), Father John Reeves relocated to State College from Texas with his family to serve as our first pastor. This was made possible by the stewardship of the mission community and a Planting Grant from the Department of Missions of the OCA.
Tapping into his missionary expertise, Father John guided the nascent mission church into fully self-supporting parish in just three years. During his 20 years here, the parish has grown from 16 adults to a community of more than 175 adults and children. In the summer of 2010, the parish was able to reward this hard work by applying for—and receiving—a Sabbatical allowing him to retrace as close as possible St. Herman's 1793-94 missionary journey from Valaam Monastery to Alaska.
Holy Trinity's faithful have always had a heart for college students. In 1997, Father John became the chaplain of the Penn State chapter of the Orthodox Christian Fellowship (OCF) and the parish has fully sponsored this ministry ever since. Over the years, several of the group's alumni have become missionaries or members of the clergy, including Deacon Alexander Cadman, who became a member of our staff in 2008 to lay the groundwork for a full-time University ministry and an office on campus.
One year later, Father Basil Biberdorf joined the staff as Assistant Rector and director of the parish's outreach to Snyder County, where a new mission community is currently developing. The same year, Deacon Mark Oleynik also moved to State College. He became the administator of Holy Trinity's Sunday School program and Director of Christian Education in January 2010. In June 2013, Deacon David Smith was ordained to the diaconate here at Holy Trinity and assigned to the Chapel of the Holy Spirit— the mission in Snyder County— becoming its administrator when Father Basil departed in 2014.
Mirroring our growth in attendance and personnel, Holy Trinity's facilities also have undergone a dramatic enhancement in the past few years. In 2006, the parish began and completed a building program to remodel and expand worship and program space by 75 percent. In August, a major phase of this work was concluded with the installation of brand new iconography that completed the new iconostasis and the upper portion of the Sanctuary wall.

While some people complained about The Dark Knight, others are managing to moan about a movie that does not even exist.
17:34, UK, Wednesday 26 December 2012
More people have been complaining about a film portraying Jesus and his disciples as gay men - even though it does not exist.
The British Board Of Film Classification said there were ongoing rumours that a movie version had been made of a controversial play called Corpus Christi.
The play, by Terrence McNally, is set in tbe modern-day United States and deals with issues including gay marriage - but has never been made into a film.
BBFC senior examiner Craig Lapper said: "I think it was a bit of an internet hoax several years ago, suggesting a film was being made of the play in which Jesus and his disciples were portrayed as homosexuals.
"I can remember replying to people concerned about this blasphemous film back in the late 1990s.
"This year again, for whatever reason, there was another spike in people writing to us to insist that we ban this terrible, blasphemous film.
"We just had to write back and say 'This film doesn't exist'."
The BBFC received six complaints about it in 2011 and another two queries this year, with complainants often asking the board to ban the film on the grounds it is blasphemous and offensive.
But it has a long way to go before it matches the numbers generated by the most complained about film of the last 10 years - Batman: The Dark Knight.
There were more than 300 complaints about the 2008 film which starred Christian Bale as the masked superhero and Heath Ledger as The Joker.
Many people felt it was too dark and violent for its 12A rating.

How do I get my 2 1/2 year old to stop throwing tantrums at bedtime?
Our son is 2 1/2, he has never had issues going to bed until the last month or so. We always told him it was bedtime, he would kiss us goodnight, get tucked in and fall asleep on his own for the whole night. Now, it's a 45min to an hour process every night to get him to stay in bed and stop screaming for us. He wants his back rubbed, which I don't mind doing, but as soon as I stop he freaks out. Now, ontop of the chore of getting him to go to bed, he wakes up a few times at night. He wants his back rubbed. Nothing in our lives has changed, so I can't figure out where this is all coming from. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!

Just few minutes back we found this news on Android Police blog that they found Google Plus v2.0 App inside Ice Cream Sandwich(ICS) with name "Chords".
According to the Post:
The Google Plus app found on this device is no ordinary app – it's marked as v2.0 and contains numerous UI changes from the v1.0.x that is in the Market right now. But we'll dedicate a separate post to that – right now I wanted to point out something that immediately jumped at me as soon as I installed and opened Google Plus 2.0 on my EVO (yes, it's compatible).
Remember how Google renamed Huddle To Messenger a short while ago? Either they weren't satisfied with that name either or Android engineers had a change of heart, but the Messenger and Conversations in Google Plus 2.0 from Ice Cream Sandwich are renamed to simply… Chords

Edited by Thomas Bedding, F.R.P.S.
A brief survey of the present position of photography may well be regarded as a kind of annual stocktaking, and to take the apparent evidence as a guide the result must be considered favourable. In its industrial aspects there are no indications of retrogression; on the contrary, the growth of business, judged by manufacturers' reports, is 'sure but steady,' and the signs of decline in any one branch are hard to detect. In the indispensability of photography to all the arts and sciences lies its greatest hop of continued advancement.
In the months of April and May last an International Photographic Exhibition, organized by the Royal Photographic Society, was held at the Crystal Palace, Sydenham, S.E. The Exhibition, which was inaugurated by H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, remained open for three weeks, and was visited by about 75,000 persons. It was undoubtedly the largest and most representative Exhibition yet held in connexion with photography-the various sections, including the artistic, the technical, the scientific, and the historical, being well supported whilst manufacturers and other more immediately concerned in the commercial aspects of photography bestowed a liberal measure of patronage on the Exhibition, which completely showed what photography had done in the past, and was capable of achieving in the present. The experiment was so popular and successful that we have little hesitation in saying that, if held every few years in London, such an exhibition-smaller, of course, but conducted on similar lines-would be much appreciated by photographers and others.
During the year there have been three or four additions to the already long list of developing compounds at the service of the photographer-ortol, diphenal, diogen, acetone instead of alkali, &c., while persulphate of ammonia had attracted some attention as a reducer. With regard to the new developers, it is at present doubtful what position they are entitled to hold on the score of practical use. The whole subject of photographic developers and development is more or less dominated by sheer empiricism, and it is much to be regretted that we do not possess in this country some institution analogous to the photographic establishments in Berlin and Vienna, presided over by men of the stamp of Vogel and Eder, of whom, when new chemicals for photographic purposes are introduced, and authoritative and reliable statement of the distinguishing characteristics of those compounds could be obtained. It is true that, when new developers and cognate chemical mixtures are placed in the hands of English photographers, we are not long lacking in the stated results of practical experiments made with the reagents, but the number and the variety of these experiences soon become bewildering and contradictory, with an utter absence of confirmation and of a scientific method of going to work in the experiments undertaken.
All the signs point to the continued spread of amateur photography among the public, and the number of photographic societies is on the increase. If these bodies could be induced to join together for the purposes of financially assisting in the foundation of a National Photographic Laboratory (to be administered, for instance, by the Royal Photographic Society), such as is suggested in the previous paragraph, a new sphere of usefulness of incalculable benefit to photography at large would be opened up before them. They can scarcely be said, at present, to avail themselves to the utmost of their opportunities. As regards professional photography it is difficult to give an accurate idea of its position and condition, but on the whole possibly it has entered the stage of gradual improvement. Year by year we witness the accession of men of very high cultivation to the professional ranks, and there is no doubt that gradually the public is being educated up to the requiring a class of portraiture which demands the very highest skill to produce, and it may therefore reasonably be supposed that in the raising of the standard of professional portraiture may be found the salvation of portrait photography.
The Hand Camera has made great headway in general use during eh past year, and it is surprising to note that, aside from its utility in affording hundreds of thousands of people a ready means of indulging in photography as a pastime, how very serviceable it has become for more serious proposes. As an adjunct to press work it has become indispensable.
A slight reaction in favour of lenses having curvature of field manifested itself during the year, it being pointed out that for subjects presenting a concave field to the camera, street views, interiors, and so forth, this form of objective has uses which forbid its entire displacement by the flat fielded lenses.
Practically no new contribution has been made to the study of the problem of natural-colour photography, although the subject is constantly cropping up in the general press, wherein claims are only too often published which crumble away before expert examination and analysis. The article which follows this brief summary is devoted to a description of the colour photographic methods actually before the world.
Animated photography still remains its hold upon popular favour, and it is probable that ere long this attractive branch of work will be placed within the reach for all.
If we look for evidences of popular taste in photographic printing processes, we are confronted by the phenomenon that, although the presence of an albumen print in an exhibition nowadays is a great rarity, yet a vast deal of the paper is still employed by professional men. Although the process has been many times killed, albumen is still a great favourite with many, on the ground presumable that its physical advantages outweigh drawbacks in other directions. But, side by side with this phenomenon, we perceive that the other printing methods, gelatino-chloride in particular, collodio-chloride, bromide, platinum and carbon, are used in increasingly large quantities, and such being the case, we are forced to regard it as a confirmation of the remark with which we opened, viz., that photography exhibits unmistakable expansive tendencies. No sign could be more hopeful or encouraging.
Glass still holds premier position as the support for the sensitive emulsion, and this despite the fact that both rollable and cut films of increasingly good qualities are available. Indeed, it is one of the most remarkable phenomena of modern photography that a vitreous support for gelatino-bromide should so long find favour.
Representative photographic institutions during the past year showed no diminution of activity or success, such bodies as the Camera Club, the Royal Photographic Society, the Copyright Union, and the Convention finding means of extending their fields of usefulness. But it is to be regretted that, while it is not a matter of much difficulty to form an association of amateurs for the purposes of mutual help and advancement, professionals as a body make it impossible to legislate for them. Their presence in the Royal Photographic Society, of which they form a considerable percentage, is scarcely felt. There is no Benevolent Association now-in fact, no representative institution of professional photographers at all. And it must be confessed that the recent tendencies of the Royal Photographic Society's Exhibition have operated to repel rather than to attract professional support. Still, it is probable that, in the near future, the professional element, as in former years, may find an opportunity of more forcibly asserting itself than has been the case in recent years.
The half-tone process is more in demand than ever with the illustrated press and for purposes of book illustration; and three-colour half-tone during the past year has definitely placed itself on a commercial basis, the process being largely used for numerous purposes. Before this process lies a vast future, and it is to be regretted that photographers were not earlier alive to its possibilities, as well as to those of half-tone engraving. These, with photogravure and collotype, might have been successfully undertaken by many photographers whose portrait business have shown a downward tendency.
The cheap enlargement schemes which harassed professional men a year or two ago seem to have dropped out of sight, but the free-portrait swindle, which once flourished in our midst, appears to have taken root abroad, whence it casts its offshoots into the British Isles. With the amount of publicity that has recently been given to the nature of the swindle in the English press, however, there is some hope of this blot on photography being wiped out.
Among those once prominent in photography, whom death has removed during the past year, the following may be noted:-
|Mr. Henry Perigal
|Mr. James Abbot (Dundee)
|Mr. R. Freeman Barnes
|Dr. Ferdinand Hurter
|Mr. S. W. Rouch
|Rev. Locke Macdona
|Mr. Latimer Clark
We are indebted to Mr. Driffeld for the following brief biography of Dr. Hurter:- 'Dr. Hurter was born in Schaffhausen, March 15, 1844. He here received his education, up to the age of sixteen, at the State schools and apprenticed for three years to a dyer. By the time he gave such evidence of capacity and ability that it was deemed desirable that he should pursue his studies further than circumstances had hitherto permitted. With this object he went to the Polytechnic at Zurich, where he studied under Stadeler, and from thence he went to Heidelberg, where he completed his studies under Bunsen and Kirchoff, and where he took his degree of Ph.D in 1866. In 1867 he came to England, and, on the recommendation of Sir Henry Roscoe, he entered, as a chemist, the service of Messrs. Gaskell, Deacon, and Co., alkali manufactures, Widnes. His marked ability was soon appreciated, and he rapidly gained the confidence of his employers, with whom he remained till the amalgation of the works took place, when he was appointed, in 1890, head chemist to the United Alkali Company, Ltd., in which capacity he remained till his death. During his business-like life he published a large number of papers of the greatest importance bearing upon matters connected with that alkali trade, and he as closely associated with the late Mr. Henry Deacon in the practical working out of the latter's well-known process of manufacturing bleaching powder. 'In 1871, I also entered the service of Messrs. Gaskell, Deacon, & Co. as engineer, and from that moment a friendship commenced between Dr. Hurter and myself which ripened into a deep attachment. I had myself practiced photography for eight years prior to this, but it was not till 1867 that I enlisted Dr. Hurter's interest in this subject. It seemed, however, to a mind like his to be intolerable to practise an art the operations involved in which were so completely governed by rule-of-thumb, and the underlying principles so little understood. We then agreed that we would together enter into a thorough investigation of the subject, and form then till the day of his death I have had the privilege of working hand in hand with one of the brightest intellects ever brought to bear upon the science of photography. The time at our disposal for these investigations had been necessarily limited, but they were stilled forever. My part has been a humble one, and whatever merit may be ultimately found in the work bearing the joint names of Dr. Hurter and myself must be mainly attributed to the great intellectual power he was able to bring to bear upon the work we undertook.'
By the death of Mr. James Abbot, Dundee, the photographic art lost one of its earliest pioneers. Born in Dundee seventy-six year ago, James Abbot was at a very early age apprenticed to the trade of mechanic, but constantly showed a marked artistic tendency, and as a boy, eagerly availed himself of every opportunity of studying works of art. Some fifty years ago, when photography was yet in its infancy, and apparatus not so easily procured, Mr. Abbot's knowledge of the nature of optics enabled him to make a lens for the purpose of taking a sun picture. Out of the bottoms of ordinary tumblers he succeeded in making the desired instrument. This lens was exhibited at a photographic exhibition held in Dundee a few years ago, and is still in existence. From that time onwards Mr. Abbot's enthusiasm never cooled, and he continued vigorously his researches and study of the art. In 1858 he started a business in Dundee, which he has been successfully carried on ever since. In these days a knowledge of chemistry was absolutely necessary for the expert artistic photographer; Mr. Abbot possessed this knowledge, and almost as soon as collodion was anywhere heard of he manufactured that wonderful material for himself, and continued to do so during all the years the wet process was in vogue. Along with this most intimate friend, the late Mr. Roger, of St. Andrews, Mr. Abbot made many improvmentes in the art, and about thirty years ago he discovered a new method for washing silver prints, the object of which was to render the pictures more permanent than had ever been possible before. A paper on this subject was read at one of the annual meetings of the Photographic Society of Scotland in Edinburgh, when it was highly commended.
Messrs. Rouch's photographic business is one of the oldest engaged in the trade, having, we believe, been established over forty years ago, when wet collodion was the premier photographic process. Messrs. Rouch were the introducers of Hardwich's collodion many years ago, and they were very early in the field of gelatine dry-plate manufacture. They have always been distinguished for the great excellence of their photographic apparatus.
He was one of the earliest photographers, and enthusiastic dry-collodion worker; in fact, his work on that subject is still the standard. He was also one of the first and most successful workers in the Daguerreotype and vitrified the enamel process. For many years chief operator to Maull & Polybank, he afterwards opened a business in New Bond-street, which he transferred to New Cross, where he had conducted a high-class business for the last thirty years, and, although seventy-five years of age, may be truly said to have died in harness. It is only a few years since we announced the death of his younger brother, Geroge Green Crawford Barnes, who was also one of the earliest photographers.
Locke Macdona was the youngest of seven brothers, all of whom were clergymen of the Church of England. His eldest brother was first a clergymen, then a barrister, and is now M.P. for Rotherhithe, with a specialty in derelict vessels. Mr. Macdona was Vicar of Cheadle Hulme, Chesire, before he went to Acton, and he had also a medical degree. He had worked at photography in various branches for many years, and was chiefly given to experimental work in chemistry and mechanics; in these directions he was quite an enthusiast.
Over forty years ago Mr. Latimer Clark devised an arrangement for taking stereoscopic photographs with one camera and lens, its chief feature being contrivance for rapidly moving the camera in a lateral direction without disturbing the position of the image upon the ground glass. We append Mr. Clark's original description of his invention, which has been in constant use since its introduction, and has more than once been reinvented.
'A strongly framed camera stand carries a flat table, about twenty inches wide by sixteen, furnished with the usual adjustments. Upon this are laid two flat bars of wood in the direction of the object, and parallel, and about the width of the camera asunder. They are eighteen inches in length; their front ends carry stout pins, which descend into the table and form centres upon which they can turn. Their opposite ends also carry similar pins, but these are directed upwards, and fit into two corresponding holes in the tail-board of the camera.
'Now, when the camera is placed upon these pins and moved to and fro laterally, the whole system exactly resembles the common parallel ruler. The two bars form the guides, and the camera, although capable of free lateral motion, always maintains a parallel position. In this condition of things it is only suited to take stereoscopic pictures of an object at an infinite distance; but to make it move in an arc, converging on an object at any nearer distance, it is only necessary to make the two guide bars approximate at their nearer end so as to converge slightly towards the object; and by a few trials some degree of convergence will be readily found at which the image will remain as it were fixed on the focusing glass while the camera is moved to and fro. To admit of this adjustment, once of the pins descends through a slot in the table and carries a clamping screw, by means of which it is readily fixed in any required position.
'In order, however, to render the motion of the camera smoother, it is advisable not to place it directly upon the two guides, but to interpose two thin slips of wood, lying across them at right angles, beneath the front and back of the camera respectively (and which may be fixed to the camera if preferred), and to dust the surfaces with powdered soap-stone or French chalk.'
It has escaped the notice that to the late Mr. Latimer Clark is due the credit of being the first to introduce the vignetting of photographs, a letter from him describing a simple apparatus for that purpose appearing in the first volume of the Photographic Society's Journal in 1853. The deceased gentleman was the father of the well-known Mr. Lyonel Clark, C.E., to whom photography is indebted for many valuable writing and devices, most of which have been noticed in THE BRITISH JOURNAL OF PHOTOGRAPHY during the past thirteen or fourteen years.

Potential oil price dips as UAE boosts its production
The UAE is on track to expand its crude oil production capacity to 3 million barrels per day (mbpd) by the end of the year, two industry sources said.
The UAE, one of the world's top oil exporters, increased its production capacity from 2.7 mbpd to around 2.8 mbpd earlier this year and expects to add another 200,000 bpd of capacity over the next few months. "Oil production capacity in the UAE should reach 3 mbpd by the end of this year, and already the current capacity is around 2.8 mbpd,' said an industry source familiar with the projects.
In July the Opec country's production was ramped up close to its maximum capacity of 2.8 mbpd, the source added. "The maximum capacity has been tested and everything is going ahead as planned," he said. Abu Dhabi, which has the largest share of the UAE's oil, plans to invest $60 billion over the next five years to boost production capacity to 3.5 mbpd.
The bulk of the capacity increase this year will come from the Zakum oil fields, said a second industry source, adding that production at the Murban-Bab field had also increased in 2012 but declining to say by how much. Bab is operated by the Abu Dhabi Company for Onshore Oil Operations (Adco) concession, which is currently in a tender to renew its deals before they expire in 2014.
BP is a partner in Adco with Royal Dutch Shell, Total, ExxonMobil and Partex Oil and Gas, with Adnoc holding a controlling stake.

As Americans we owe it to our soldiers, sailors and airmen to bring them home safely from war. This was the sentiment that President Obama expressed when he was interviewed by Brian Williams of NBC on Thursday evening, and there is likely not an American who does not agree. As Americans we owe more gratitude to our military. The recent VA scandal is a true stain on the country's conscience.
Obama also asserted that when an American is a p.o.w., we must negotiate with the enemy to gain release.
Assuming the president is correct, are there limits to the negotiations with the enemy? Israel, while living in a state of constant fierce attacks by terrorists, has an official policy of not negotiating, and yet through third parties has released countless criminals, masterminds of rockets attacks and outright murderers. Perhaps Obama is right in this case. History will likely be the judge. Jewish law obligates Jews to redeem Jewish captives whenever possible. The mitzvah is so central, according to several legal codes, that even communal charity funds can be tapped for implementation. Does a parallel exist for Americans and American servicepersons?
Yet in the thirteenth century, after he was captured in order to be paid ransom for his release, Rabbi Meir of Rotenberg published a halachic decision from his jail cell. It banned the community from ransoming him. He argued that more Jews would become subject to kidnapping for the ransom they could bring in.
Was the president correct? Those five released were not in Gitmo on vacation. They were awaiting trial for terrorist acts against the United States. Was the price of their release fair or excessive? Only History will tell.
What remains especially unclear is how Seargent Bergdahl ended up imprisoned. Was he a hero, as National Security Advisor Susan Rice proclaimed on national television? Reports from the field seem to indicate that he was at very least AWOL and perhaps even a deserter or worse, a traitor who collaborated with the Taliban. Only today did reports come from Administration sources that Bergdahl had been tortured.
There is no need to wait for History to assess Bergdahl. He needs to be held for court martial. If he was AWOL, he should serve time in the brig. If he was a deserter, the laws of war consider desertion in wartime to be a capital offense, and that result might be considered by the court. If a traitor.... And if he truly was innocent, and the absence from his stations is a coincidence, he must be exonerated. However, it is not the security advisor's duty to prejudge the court, nor the president's. If indeed Bergdahl was a deserter or worse, this also must force all to question the price for his release.
On a related point, if Afghanistan truly wants to be a democratic country, and if the United States is leaving that region before that end is reached, then the war is not over. Abandonment does not end a war, it only marks our refusal to participate. The people of Afghanistan may be left a mess magnified by the long American presence. The United States may no longer want to be there, and the American people may be hard pressed to support the continued involvement of American forces, particularly given the high cost, but that does not describe the end of a war. President Obama and others who proclaim the end of hostilities need be especially careful of how they parse words. Americans must not forget the extensive criticism by Candidate Obama and other Democrats of President George W. Bush for declaring "mission accomplished" in Iran.

Recently, the SAUNDER Fall/Winter 2014 collection was presented at The High Line Hotel in Chelsea. Designed by Emily Saunder, it blends inspirations from the film noir era with those of the 1980s era. The collection is evocative, playful, bold, and uniquely contemporary. Velvet, suede, fringe, leather, and plaid are some of the elements that are used in the collection. The dominant colors that carry through the collection include black, brown, teal, pink, and gold. Emily Saunder also collaborated with Megan Isaacs to develop a jewelry collection, which is called MEGAN ISAACS for SAUNDER, that highlights the film noir and pop culture elements.
Highlights from the collection included a brown velvet long sleeve seductive dress, a sleeveless pink multi-print dress, a black and gold sequin fringe dress with straps, a brown and white bomber jacket paired with a teal skirt, and a green velvet short sleeve multi-print mini-dress. The collection certainly shimmers with confident appeal, show-stopping designs, and sophisticated silhouettes!

I don't celebrate Christmas but I carried. Every year my wife and I run a homeless shelter in our synagogue for the week that includes Christmas. I was one of two all-night sleepover volunteers on Christmas Eve. We had an air mattress set up in one of the classrooms so that we could sleep in shifts, and even though I laid down, the Glock 23 never came out of its IWB holster. A spare mag of Cor-bon DPX stayed in its place on my belt, too. The other sleepover volunteer had a Walther PPK in an ankle rig. So much for American Jews being left wing anti-gun liberals!
After the bus took everyone away, I stayed and cleaned the building (as I did every morning), then went home and crawled into bed. The Glock stayed with me on the nightstand.
Carried my Glock 27 all day long at the family get together.

Carried my para carry 12 and my 357mag
I carried at all of my relatives houses and I don't believe anyone noticed.
My girlfriend did make some snarky comments though when we went to the movies with her family last night. Apparently I'm "paranoid" and it's "just the movies."
I thought I was making progress with her...guess she still doesn't understand why I carry.

Yes I did. I went to a friends house with a boat load of children. I left my G30 in my truck but had my Ruger LCP in my front pocket. When I got back into my truck the G30 was immediately holstered. I did leave my holster exposed during my visit.

Yep - Always. "Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it."
The only place I went was over to the in-laws. I carried my g26 in a crossbreed supertuck. They all know I carry and quite frankly they respect that (and kinda like it) but dont make that choice for themselves. One notable exception is a really mouthy cousin of my wife. She thinks I am "crazy" and just completely mocked me for the practice. I didnt get upset because she is only 24 and extremely ignorant of the world. She had no response when I asked her if she has ever had to call 911 or been in any situation where her life was in danger. I also told her that according to the FBI 90% of rape attempts are unsuccessful when the woman has a weapon. THAT seemed to stick and I suspect she will be singing a different tune about the topic next time we meet.
In my experience most young women are very belligerent and ignorant about concealed carry. We have clearly failed at getting our message out to this group of people. The media as been MUCH more successful at programming the younger generation and I take every opportunity to undo this brainwashing.

I get a look like I have two heads (so predictable) my next line is usually something like well, will you ever get it? You live in your little world and all is well. The fact is we all live in a big world. Maybe someday someone will wake you up to the real world and I truly hope someone is there to rescue you. God forbid that ever happens! That will usually get them to thinking. They just can't seem to answer back, except the LEO'S will take care of them, till I point out the facts. With all due respect to all LEO'S out there, they just can't be everywhere, all the time. Impossible. I usually end up still being the BG before it's all over.

Do It Yourself Plastic Animal Toy Corn Cob Holders
This is a tutorial from Instructables user mikeasaurus (of DIY plastic dinosaur high heels fame) of how to make your own plastic toy corn cob holders. Basically it involves sawing a plastic animal in half then filling them and hot-gluing store bought corn cob holders inside. Plus if you drill another pair of holes in each of the holders for the opposite prongs to rest in YOU CAN PUT THE ANIMALS BACK TOGETHER FOR STORAGE. How cool is that?! "Just a little." Jesus, well it's not like we're talking about jetpacks here.
Hit the jump for several more shots including a chicken about to go to town on a triceratops cob.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) has been popular for over a decade now.
How frequently do you ask your current customers, venders and employees what questions and answers are really important to them? We spend so much time looking outside our business that we forget that we must keep our current customers, suppliers and employees interests at the forefront of our thoughts and plans.
In a discussion with Jeff Boss, writer for Entrepreneur.com and former Navy Seal, he asked some very important questions which significantly influence our results as entrepreneurs.
1. What is the biggest challenge your company currently has and how are you overcoming that challenge?
How are you dealing with that challenge within your company right now? Do you know what your current customers think is your biggest challenge where they are concerned? How do they feel that you are addressing that issue and hopefully overcoming the challenge? Customers, venders and suppliers see us through a different perspective. Their view through a different lens is so important. Pay attention to their views.
It absolutely costs more to recruit a new customer than to keep a current customer happy.
Taking our current customers for granted can be expensive financially and emotionally in the loss of market share.
Ask your venders what they view as their biggest challenge in working with you. You are both their customer and they are a source for new customers for you. How can they refer new customers to you if they do not feel valued by you? They are a resource for increasing your market share.
Ask your employees the same questions about the biggest company challenge and how successfully you are overcoming that challenge. Just as it costs more to recruit a new customer, it also costs more to recruit and train a new employee than to retain and advance a seasoned employee. Employees can increase or reduce your market share by their performance.
2. What is your preferred marketing method?
Part of your marketing is communicating with your customers, venders and employees. How do they prefer to receive information? Do they prefer a personal visit, a telephone call, a text or an email? Do they prefer to receive printed marketing materials, online marketing or social interaction? Knowing how your customers prefer to receive information tells you where they are most likely to read your marketing; you can't increase your market share unless they see and respond to your information.
3. What advice would you give to an up and coming entrepreneur?
Your experience as an entrepreneur has value. What was the best way you found to increase your market share and attract new customers?
As successful entrepreneurs, we have both a right and an obligation to share our experience and knowledge with up and coming entrepreneurs.
These should be frequently asked questions. Perhaps it is time to refresh our internal information in order to enhance our market share, customer satisfaction, employee satisfaction and our own desire to help others.
