The community of Harlow is part of the London commuter belt, just a 30-minute train ride from the famous cosmopolitan city renowned for its theater, historical monuments and royal pageantry. Following World War II, this centuries-old rural village in Essex was reconceived as one of the "new towns," an experimental series of self-sustaining communities connecting to London. Still thriving decades later, Harlow offers visitors a chance to view extensive art and sculpture collections, attend sports and music venues or enjoy live theatrical productions.
Harlow Sculpture Collection
Harlow is home to more than 100 nationally significant sculptures in a permanent, public collection scattered throughout town. Visitors can view the pieces of art by roaming through historic Old Harlow, main shopping squares, open-air gardens and parks. Private collections, as well as those acquired and commissioned by the Harlow Art Trust, include works by acclaimed sculptors such as Elisabeth Frink, Ralph Brown and F.E. McWilliam. Many can be viewed at the Civic Centre and Water Gardens.
The Victoria Hall Theatre
Victoria Hall Theatre (victoriahalltheatre.co.uk) stages a variety of performance art productions for all ages throughout the year. Residents and visitors alike can enjoy pantomime, stand-up comedy, traditional theater, old-fashioned musicals, poetry, folk music and children's plays. The intimate 120-seat venue, run entirely by volunteers, can also be rented for special runs, with many community theater groups putting on plays and artistic genre productions. The box office and bar are open one hour prior to performance.
The Gibberd Gallery
As the lead architect of Harlow during its transformation to the "new town" concept, Frederick Gibberd left his mark throughout the cultural landscape as well as on its physical structures. As big supporters of public art, many buildings and institutions are named after the Gibberd family, including the Gibberd Gallery (www.harlow.gov.uk). The permanent collection at the gallery came from private commissions to living contemporary British artists; it now constitutes the "Frederick Gibberd Collection of 20th Century British Watercolours and Drawings." The gallery has two exhibition areas, with a rotating schedule of shows by local emerging artists, as well as those with international influence and acclaim.
The Square
For live entertainment and musical concerts, The Square (thesquareharlow.com) is where it's happening. For more than 30 years, the venue has fostered openness and creativity of expression in Harlow, with events and performances from multiple musical genres. A pub in The Square, open Wednesdays through Sundays until the wee morning hours, has a full bar, billiards and pinball. Guests who are interested in pursuing a musical career can rent a full recording studio and video suite by special arrangement.
Harlow Centre for Outdoor Learning
The Harlow Centre for Outdoor Learning (essexoutdoors.org) revolves around the River Stort as it runs through town, creating opportunities for kayaking, canoeing and learning the art of raft-building. An activity known as "the Bumble" challenges participants to slide on weirs, play team games, cross rivers and jump bridges. The center also sponsors land-based activities such as mountain biking, climbing, high and low ropes, mountain-boarding and archery. An indoor climbing wall is adjacent to the facility's cafe and coffee shop.

How to deal with ignorant people?
Over a year ago
So, I posted a picture of the UGG/sheep thing, and got this comment: *wears clothes made by child slave labor*
Wtf? I rarely post animal rights things on facebook, I do most on twitter, because of people like this that always have something to say. I feel like I can't express my own opinion because people don't agree and so they try to make me feel bad, talk down to me, and act like I don't know what I'm talking about. How do you deal with people/situations like this? I've deleted people but, there's always someone.

Hey @MorganAshleigh,
Just like I told @doingit4dash, who had a similar situation as you, don't let people break you down. I've always been a strong believer in "killing them with kindness" and that's what I suggest you do. Whenever you're tagged on things like those, leave comments with facts on animal suffering, links with information, reasons why you don't support it, etc. Make them think and plant seeds of compassion. Soon, they'll see that it doesn't bother you and they'll stop. Hope this helps!

As the others have said, it's mostly best to ignore such comments because these people aren't interested in a sensible debate or discussion.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

Yeah I just tend to try and ignore those people as much as possible.
If they're going out of their way to look at what you have posted then be rude, don't wast your energy on them and don't worry about what they say.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

Sadly, she's right.
However I can guarantee that unless she's a huge activist for these things she uses some product produced with slave labor as well.
She seems to think you are a hypocrite for choosing not to wear animal skin but still supporting another cruel industry.
Vegetarianism, veganism and all these ideas are not about ending cruelty, because any person with brains knows that won't happen, but rather reducing it.
By choosing not to wear clothes made from another sentient creature's skin, you are minimizing cruelty. That's all there is too it.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

Execllent does not adequately describe the facility, hospitaliy and value of Americus Garden Inn. Surely, this is one of the very best B & Bs in the nation. Our hosts, Kim and Susan, welcomed us into their historic home (built in 1847) with a warmth and graciousness befitting family. The large, comfortable rooms were spotless and well furnished, and breakfasts exceeded our expectations. Susan is a grandma trained, gourmet cook; you will not leave the table unsatisfied. The surrounding area of Americus, Plains and Andersonville afford visitors to the area a variety of activities but Americus Garden Inn made our weekend visit most memorable. We recommend this B & B without reservation.

What would a Jose Aldo win mean for the featherweight division?
In a word—nothing.
Aldo still has meaningful fights at 145 that would keep Dana White and Joe Silva from looking at some sort of "superfight." However, what we may see is Aldo start to test the waters at 155 to see if he actually can compete against top-level guys in that division.
Similar to the way that Anderson Silva dipped his toe in the light heavyweight division over the years, Aldo can alternate between divisions with relative ease because of how easy he can cut weight. Naturally, Aldo is probably more accustomed to 155, so it would be interesting to see how he fares.
Though he still has meaningful fights, Aldo doesn't have any blockbuster type fights that would excite fans. Fans would get more of a kick out of seeing him move up and fight an Anthony Pettis, or dare I say it, Gray Maynard. If he were to venture in the heavier weight class, Aldo should fully expect to be thrown to the wolves from the jump.
A win for Aldo would probably have Dustin Poirier or Eric Koch in line for a shot at the belt. But because of the organization's reluctance for superfights, look for Aldo to test the waters in the lightweight division and work his way to a position where Silva and White have to give him a title shot in the lightweight division.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Oct 01st, 2002
Running Time: 124
Director: Rodney Moore
Company: Rodnievision
Distribution Companies: Odyssey Group Video
Cast: Lena Ramon, Annie Body, Alexia Riley, Wolf Savage, Mia Domore, Michele Raven, Bisexual Britni, Ashley Shye, Rodney Moore, Ryan Meadows, Sara Jay, Dannaca
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Gonzo
Modern-looking boxcover will draw attention to the product.
It's the ladies who are largely responsible for the high rating here. In fact, for a couple of scenes, it seems that the starlets are solely at the helm, and director Rodney Moore is just a passive participant (and cameraman).
The premise of the first scene is pretty ridiculous, as Bisexual Britni is seen crawling on her hands and knees, totally dehydrated and searching for water in the (supposed) middle of nowhere. She soon comes upon the very sexy Annie Body and the very, very sexy Michele Raven. They each taking turns giving a sloppy b.j. to Rodney with enough superfluous saliva to fill the Grand Canyon. Britni is so thirsty she opens wide, like a baby bird, and gladly accepts the stringy spit of both Raven and Body. This scene soon moves indoors for more of the same.
Once inside, however, Body, dressed in a sheer body stocking, has collared Raven and attached a leash. The aggressive Body grabs Moore's cock and vigorously slaps it against Raven's face. Raven's drool runs down to her ample boobs, and Britni licks it off. Eventually, Britni climbs on top of Moore and rides him hard, both in cowgirl and reverse. Later, he fucks her pussy from the side while licking between Raven's legs. A Rodney Blast finishes this fine scene.
There are some pretty funny moments in a dental office set-up when Lena Ramone arrives and finds some of "dentist" Moore's methods of examination and treatment rather unusual. Ashley Shye is the hygienist and Mia Domore - credited on the box cover as Mia DeLuna - plays the spittoon. The lion's share of the action here is oral on Moore.
Of the three remaining scenes, the highlight features Dannaca and Sara Jay. Both have bodacious bods with huge boob implants. Their small talk consists of bemoaning the fact that they haven't given oral sex to a man lately. Moore overhears and moves in. The three retire to a room at the adjacent hotel, with the two hotties trying to out-Lewinsky each other on our hero. This scene features oral only, and, naturally, an ample amount of spit as well.
The finale features Moore as a slightly-demented shoe salesman. Also some laughs here, as well as more slippery b.j. action.

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Specialty
The racks aren't all huge, but they're definitely real in this collection of scenes, mostly from Europe.
It's Porn Valley's very own Gianna, in the last of five scenes, who steals the show. She's very pretty and very hot — really sensuous — as well as having enormous, soft gazongas that jiggle joyously.
Babalu is a titman's dream. With her huge knockers she gets tit-fucked and ass-fucked in an island setting. Cover girl Jessica Moore has nice big knockers — not huge — but big enough to take a good titfuck from Dillon. She's also very experienced anally. Sabrina Rose, a somewhat older blonde, performs a very efficient d.p.
Retailing: A decent addition to your titman bin.

Global imbalances, monetary disorder, and shrinking policy space: Keynes's legacy for our troubled world
The paper aims at showing that revisiting Keynes's early writings on international economic relations and some less well-known episodes of his economic diplomacy, with special attention being paid to the methodological issues involved, may disclose useful insights in understanding the features of his desired new global order. We contrast the three main pillars of Keynes's vision as detected in this revisitation (coordinated multilateral responses to global imbalances, a rational international monetary regime, and enhanced policy space) with the major shortcomings of the current non-system, and show the continuing relevance not only of Keynes's specific proposals for global reform, but also, and most importantly, the legacy of his way of reasoning about international economic relations.

Soccer ace David Beckham is preparing to meet with British Prime Minister David Cameron on Thursday (26Jul12) to discuss how to combat child malnutrition.
The athlete, who is a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Children's Fund (Unicef), will deliver a letter signed by stars including Claudia Schiffer, Whoopi Goldberg and Robbie Williams calling for an end to hunger for youngsters.
The sportsman will discuss the issue of stunting in children - when they do not have a balanced diet early on in life - which can lead to brain damage, and he has called on Cameron to highlight the issue as London prepares to host the 2012 Olympics.
Beckham says, "Stunting - when children don't get the right nutrients in the first 1,000 days of life - is the hidden crisis stopping millions of children around the world reaching their potential. It's irreversible. It means children get trapped in lives of poverty.
"During the coming weeks all eyes will be on London for the greatest show on earth. As a Unicef Ambassador, I am asking the Prime Minister to use the global spotlight on our nation to make children around the world the real winners of these Games."

Amazon.com Review
This guide segments discussions of Web usability into page, content, site, and intranet design. This breakdown skillfully isolates for the reader many subtly different challenges that are often mixed together in other discussions. For example, Nielsen addresses the requirements of viewing pages on varying monitor sizes separately from writing concise text for "scanability." Along the way, the author pulls no punches with his opinions, using phrases like "frames: just say no" to immediately make his feelings known. Fortunately, his advise is some of the best you'll find.
One of the unique aspects of this title is the use of actual statistics to buttress the author's opinions on various techniques and technologies. He includes survey results on sizes of screens, types of queries submitted to search portals, response times by connection type and more. This book is intended as the first of two volumes--focusing on the "what." The author promises a follow-up title that will show the "hows" and, based on this installation, we can't wait. --Stephen W. Plain
Topics covered: Cross-platform design, response time considerations, writing for the Web, multimedia implementation, navigation strategies, search boxes, corporate intranet design, accessibility for disabled users, international considerations, and future predictions.

Ryan's 'Courageous' Budget Cuts Need Reality Test: Albert Hunt
Paul Ryan is John McCain, circa 2000, or Barack Obama in the last presidential election or Bob Strauss and Jim Baker for their entire careers: the darling of the Washington commentariat.
The chairman of the House Budget Committee, who released a budget last week that calls for dramatic spending cutbacks to politically sensitive programs such as Medicare, has been called a "rebel with a cause" by the television anchorwoman Diane Sawyer; to New York Times columnist David Brooks, he's a "powerful elected official," who is "willing to take a stand, willing to face the political perils." A news search for the past three months shows the terms "courage" or "courageous" or "bold" were used 679 times in articles mentioning Ryan.
Whether the Wisconsin Republican emerges as one of the most influential national politicians of his generation -- the columnist-commentator George Will already has anointed him as the next vice president -- or whether this is merely his 15-minute Andy Warhol-like flash of fame, will rest on the political and policy credibility of his agenda, and whether he can expand his reach beyond fiscal issues.
There is no more attractive Republican on the national scene. The 41-year-old Ryan is articulate, personable, intelligent, deeply versed in policy, and conveys sincerity with few of the sharp edges and none of the harshness that mark some contemporary conservative politicians.
Voted for TARP
Neither is he an ideologue. A principled conservative, he nevertheless voted for the federal bailout for Wall Street banks, the No Child Left Behind education measure, the prescription-drug benefit for seniors and for a bill that bans employment discrimination based on sexual orientation.
He once worked for Jack Kemp, and describes himself as a disciple of the tax-cutting, minority-courting, buoyant late former congressman and vice presidential candidate. Yet while he has embraced Kemp's tax cutting, he has displayed little of the outreach and racial inclusiveness of his mentor.
"There's no comparison between Jack Kemp and Paul Ryan," says Hilary Shelton, senior vice president for advocacy of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "Jack was a friend and always accessible. We have little or no relationship with Ryan."
There are many missing specifics from Ryan's budget and the early fire has been more than partisan demagoguery. Alice Rivlin, the Democratic economist who co-wrote an earlier Medicare- overhaul plan with Ryan, opposes his current proposal as draconian.
Privatizing Medicare
The Congressional Budget Office suggests that eventually privatizing Medicare as Ryan's plan advocates, with government "premium support" payments to insurance companies, will result in less coverage and higher costs for senior citizens. Many experts said his proposal to turn Medicaid, the health insurance plan for poor people, into a block grant to states will reduce benefits for the most vulnerable members of society.
In disputing those assertions, Ryan will have to demonstrate he isn't curbing federal spending on the backs of the poor, elderly and disabled. Almost one-sixth of Medicaid beneficiaries are people with disabilities. Because they have greater health-care needs, they account for almost half of all expenditures.
Ryan is on the high ground when he talks about the need to rein in chronic deficits and the growth in entitlement spending. He loses that advantage if voters believe he's advocating a massive transfer of wealth from lower and middle-income Americans to the most affluent and asking almost no shared sacrifice.
Estate-Tax Cut
When he takes any tax increases off the table, and passionately defends measures like a more generous estate tax, which benefits the richest Americans, it makes that challenge difficult. His own long-term budget proposal calls for lowering the top tax rate to 25 percent for both corporations and individuals; corporations now are subject to a 35 percent top rate, for individuals it is 35 percent, slated to go up to 39.6 percent.
The Wisconsin lawmaker says he would offset the dramatically lower rates he proposes -- the lowest for upper-income individuals since 1931 and for corporations since 1941 -- by broadening the base and eliminating tax loopholes.
Lost Revenue
Here's where the politics and the math get complicated. His rate cuts would mean $3 trillion or more in lost revenue over a decade. The only way to make up that shortfall would be to enact measures such as eliminating the write-off for interest on home mortgages, the deductions for state and local income taxes and for charitable contributions, or the research credit for businesses.
That wouldn't sit well with middle-income voters or some in the business community.
Interestingly, the punditocracy, which hails Ryan for his political courage, often fails to note he was a member of the bipartisan commission led by Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles that recommended a comparable debt-reduction plan by both cutting back on spending and increasing taxes. Ryan was in the minority on the panel that voted against it, in contrast to Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, a conservative Republican who swallowed his reservations about higher taxes, and Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois, a liberal Democrat who overcame his hesitancies about curbing Medicare and Social Security outlays.
Tax Increases
Every serious bipartisan proposal to tackle the long-term budget deficit -- Bowles-Simpson, the commission led by Rivlin and former Republican Senator Pete Domenici of New Mexico, the National Academy of Sciences -- calls for a combination of cutbacks in the growth of entitlement spending, curbing discretionary spending, including defense, and some tax increases.
Bill Galston, a scholar at the Washington-based Brookings Institution and former domestic-policy adviser to President Bill Clinton who has offered another proposal, notes that while Ryan's plan "stands no chance of enactment," it could be important in "jumpstarting the 'adult conversation,' which Obama and others have said is necessary."
If a serious down-payment on long-term deficit reduction is enacted this year, it will have to be bipartisan and include cutbacks in entitlements and higher taxes; the real road map will be Bowles-Simpson. An important determinant of whether that's possible will be the flexibility of the bright young congressman who is chairman of the House Budget Committee.

Stepping away for a moment from the travails of Ted Haggard, but sticking with the Rocky Mountain state, an interesting article by Amy Sullivan in the New Republic [1] on Bill Ritter, the Catholic, pro-life Democrat likely to become Colorado's next governor today. (Also see Melinda Henneberger's fine piece in a recent Commonweal.)
The take away point: we can see an emerging group of Catholic pro-life Democrats at once critical of the bishops (in a number of regards) but also eager to reduce the number of abortions.

The OMDR (optical-microwave double resonance) effect in the Cs D2 line was studied for realizing a gas-cell-type Cs atomic frequency standard. A glass cell containing Cs with buffer gases (Ar/N2=1.26, total pressure=39 torr) was placed in a TE012 mode microwave cavity at a temperature of 45°C and was pumped using a GaAs semiconductor laser frequency locked to an external interferometer tuned to the 6P3/2 (F=2,3,4)←6 S1/2(F=3) transition. The OMDR signal appearing at the resonance to the F=4←3 hyperfine transition of the 6S1/2 state shifted with detuning of the laser frequency and with change of the laser and microwave powers. The dependence of the shift on these variables around an optimum operating condition was obtained as, ΔνMW[Hz]=-(0.31±0.02) {1+(0.44±0.15) (ΔPL/PL)} ΔνL [MHz]-10(ΔVMW/V MW)

Chief executive Theo Spierings said the ''bottom line'' was
that its products were safe and customers could ''rest
assured'' that was the case.
Fonterra Shareholders Fund units took a small, immediate
knock as trading opened on the NZX yesterday after a weekend
in which international media latched on to the news that
small traces of a nitrate inhibitor had been found.
FSF units dropped 0.41%, or 3c, to $7.20 at the open of NZX
trading, and bid and ask prices were displayed briefly as low
as $7.14 and $7.18 before recovering to a range of $7.20 and
$7.23 in the first 10 minutes of trading. They were trading
at $7.15 mid-afternoon.
Mr Spierings said Fonterra's testing found only minute traces
of DCD in samples of some of its products and they were about
100 times lower than acceptable levels under European food
safety limits.
The Ministry of Primary Industries had confirmed the traces
posed no risk to human health, Mr Spierings said.
''DCD has never at any point been a food safety issue, and if
it had been, we would have been the first to speak out.
''Fonterra has one of the highest standard food supply chains
in the world,'' he said.
''We know some of our customers and regulators have
questions. We need to answer them, and that's exactly what we
are doing.
''We have strong science and we are providing assurances
about the safety of our products,'' Mr Spierings said.
Fonterra had been involved in a working group with the
Government, fertiliser companies, scientists and other dairy
industry representatives gathering information, scientific
opinion, and undertaking tests since November.
Federated Farmers food safety spokesman Dr William Rolleston
said some media reporting seemed to have moved beyond facts
and into ''uninformed opinion''.
''Residues of DCD nitrification inhibitors were detected but
the levels recorded were in the order of parts per million.
''These residues only came to light because New Zealand
continually tests for and refines testing for impurities,''
Dr Rolleston said.
''I doubt many countries test to the level we do but once DCD
was verified, our consumers and trading partners were
''We take this seriously ... and any suggestion otherwise is
He said the industry was not hiding from genuinely informed
criticism but uninformed speculation and innuendo was
''It is like yelling ''fire'' in a packed theatre.''
DCD was a nitrification inhibitor used by the dairy industry
to reduce nitrate leaching into waterways and greenhouse gas
Organic Dairy and Pastoral Group chairman Glenn Mead, of
Otago, said nitrification inhibitors such as DCD were never
going to be the magic bullet to replace good farm management
practices that reduced nitrate leaching.
Research at Massey University showed dairy farms could
produce milk sustainably and economically and meet the
strictest council guidelines for run-off of nitrogen, without
using nitrification inhibitors, he said.
Labour primary industries spokesman Damien O'Connor
questioned why the issue was not disclosed in September,
which was when he said Fonterra discovered traces of DCD.
Mr Spierings later rubbished Mr O'Connor's claim that it was
hushed up to allow the Fonterra Shareholder Fund float to
occur unimpeded in November.
Green Party agriculture spokesman Steffan Browning said New
Zealand's 100% pure marketing advantage was crucially
important to its farmers ''and we should be protecting it,
not asking the rest of the world to expect less than 100%''.

Reichert's Choice
Today brings yet another sign of the increasing national interest in Democrat Darcy Burner's campaign to unseat Republican Congressman Dave Reichert in the eastside's 8th Congressional District:
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) today released this web ad highlighting Reichert's opposition to stem-cell research. According to the DCCC:
The ad also shows the company that Reichert keeps in opposing this vital research tool. He stands shoulder to shoulder with figureheads of the radical right like Pat Robertson, James Dobson and Tom DeLay.
In addition, the ad contrasts Reichert with those who have good things to say about stem-cell research: The National Institutes of Health, Nancy Reagan, and Republican Senator Orrin Hatch. The message is that Reichert is out of touch with the majority of Americans who support stem-cell reasearch, out of synch with fellow Republicans, and too conservative for his moderate district.
Meanwhile, Reichert's office put out a press release today with this headline: "Reichert Announces We The People Bookshelf Award to Sammamish High School"

Jasmine Jenkins drove in five.
Feb. 7, 2014
ST. GEORGE, Utah – Sophomore Jasmine Jenkins went 5-for-8 with four RBI and senior Karlyn Jones picked up two saves as the Nevada softball team opened 2014 with two wins Friday at the Red Desert Classic on Friday.
Nevada (2-0) outlasted BYU in a see-saw battle in the opener on Friday, battling back from a 9-6 deficit with a four-run sixth inning to top the Cougars, 10-9. Against Southern Utah, Megan Dortch went five strong innings and Jones struck out four in the final two games in a 4-2 win over the Thunderbirds.
"It was nice to see us scrap out a couple of victories today despite not really playing our best ball," Nevada coach Matt Meuchel said. "Early in the year, that's a good sign to see a team keep battling and then finding ways to win. It's a good start and we'll take it."
Nevada will be back in action Saturday at the tournament with a single game against Idaho State.
The Wolf Pack knocked 11 hits against BYU as eight of the nine spots in the lineup had at least one hit and Jenkins, Megan Sweet and Sara Parsons each collected two hits. Jenkins drove in three in the game and Sara Parsons' fly ball in the sixth scored a pair of runs as Nevada battled back after losing a 5-0 lead to get the win.
Junior Bailey Brewer got the start and pitched into the fifth inning, giving up seven hits, seven runs (five earned), while walking two and striking out four. Freshman McKenna Isenberg pitched one inning of relief to earn her first collegiate victory. Jones struck out four in two innings of relief to earn the save.
Against Southern Utah, Megan Dortch yielded an unearned run in the first but Nevada battled back with a run in the second to tie it and two in the third to take the lead. After another unearned run in the fifth, Nevada got the run back in the bottom of the inning to give Jones a 4-2 cushion to close it out.
Dortch gave up seven hits and both runs were unearned as she earned her first win of the year. She walked four and struck out one. Jones fanned four more in those two innings to give her eight Ks in just four innings of work thus far.
Jenkins had three more hits and Karley Hopkins had while Jenkins, Parsons, Ashley Butera and Nikki Orozco each drove in a run in the win.

Can Previous Employers Still Give You a Bad Reference?
My son was terminated by a previous employer some months ago. I talked to his manager about the termination, and she told me she would not give him a bad reference. But my son is still looking for a job, and we just found out this is not the case — the previous employer has been giving him a bad reference. I thought there were laws in place that don't allow previous employers to give out bad references. I thought all the previous employer could do was to verify wages, dates of employment and position/title. Can you please confirm this for me?
The Commissioner says:
Unless your son was terminated or is being given a bad reference because of his race, national origin, religion, a disability, or another characteristic protected under the Minnesota Human Rights Act, your question falls outside of our jurisdiction and expertise. That said, we know no law that prevents an employer from giving an unflattering reference. It is true that many employers as a matter of policy choose to restrict their comments about former employees to verifying the basic facts you've mentioned. But not all employers follow this practice, nor are they required to do so. If your son has reason to believe that his former employer is providing information that is untrue or is acting out of malice, your son may choose to discuss his concern with a private attorney. The Department of Human Rights cannot give legal advice.
Can Employer Require Hmong Employees to Speak English Only?
I am Hmong and a temporary employee for a company in Saint Paul. Since I began there, I have heard complaints from two employees I work with, who say it is not fair that I and my Hmong coworkers speak in our language when we meet and greet each other. The majority of people working for the company are Hmong, but I've been told that numerous people who do not speak Hmong have gone to the HR and have reported it as rude and disrespectful in the workforce. I've also been told that HR is trying to do something about the situation, and may soon require us to speak only in English. I have never worked for a company that has done this before — most companies would be happy to know that I am bi-lingual. Can companies not allow their employees to speak another language, even though they are capable of speaking, reading, and writing English perfectly?
The Commissioner says:
An employer can require employees to speak only English while on the job if there is a valid business justification for this requirement.An employer might require employees to speak English when communicating with English-speaking customers, or with their supervisor, or where work efficiency or safety concerns require that everyone communicate in the same language. But the fact that some English-speaking employees consider the speaking of another language to be somehow discourteous does not qualify as a valid business justification. To enforce an English-only rule based solely on the preferences or prejudices of Englishspeaking employees might be a discriminatory practice prohibited under the Minnesota Human Rights Act.
Must Employer Provide Pregnant Employee with "Light Duty"?
I am pregnant and a paramedic, a very physically demanding job. What is my employer's obligation to provide "light duty" to me when I progress to the point of being unable to do my job? I have an opportunity to go into our dispatch center, but on a part-time basis and a reduced hourly rate.
The Commissioner says:
If your employer has at least 15 employees, they must make reasonable accommodation to the pregnancy-related restrictions of which you make them aware, unless every accommodation would impose an undue hardship on their operations. They are entitled to documentation of the existence of your restrictions and the medical necessity of alternative assignments. Your employer is not required to remove essential functions of your current position, in order to accommodate you, nor must they create a position for you if you are unable to continue in your job, as modified. One potential accommodation would be to temporarily place you in a vacant position, within your restrictions, for which you are already qualified. Employers are not required to maintain a higher pay rate in a different position, but a case might be made for that if the respective pay ranges overlap. At some point, a job-protected leave of absence may be the only suitable accommodation and, if your employer is large enough, job protection may also be available under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Should you wish to pursue the specifics of your situation with a department representative, please contact our intake unit at 651-296-5663 or 1- 800-657-3704 to discuss your situation in more detail.
Must Company Provide Separate Facilities for Newly-Hired Women on Construction Crew?
A local company's outside crew has been all male for many years. Now two females have applied for positions on the crew. If the females are hired, does this company have to provide any different amenities on the job site (mini-biffs, as an example) for the females vs. males?
The Commissioner says:
The Minnesota Human Rights Act does not require employers to have any specific policies with respect to amenities for males and females on the job. The Act does require employers to not discriminate based on gender — with respect to hiring, pay and all other terms and conditions of employment including amenities. If there is a locker room where employees shower or change clothes, unisex use would not be acceptable, but scheduled men's and women's access might be a reasonable alternative to building a separate facility. We would need a lot more information to determine how the requirement to not discriminate would apply in the situation you describe. If you are an employee and believe the company's provisions for these amenities are discriminatory based on your gender, you may wish to contact our intake unit at 651-296-5663 or 1-800-657-3704 and tell us why you think so.
Can Fast-Food Restaurant Fire My Daughter for "Rolling Her Eyes"?
My daughter is 15 years old and employed at a fast-food restaurant. Yesterday the manager asked her how she likes the job, and she said it was going well. Then the manager told her she was going to have to let her go in a week or two, because other employees say that she rolls her eyes at them, and that she has been giving away ice cream. How can you let someone go because others say she rolls her eyes? She is the only Black employee they have, and has been treated unfairly since she's been there. What are her rights and what can she do about this? I also wonder why they've been paying her in cash — her first check was in cash, and when I told her to ask them about getting a check and a check stub so she could see her hours, they said they didn't have her time card. Should they be paying her in cash?
The Commissioner says:
If your daughter has been treated unfairly in comparison to other employees, and if the reason for this adverse treatment is that she is black and the other employees are not, that would likely be considered discrimination based on race, which is illegal under the Minnesota Human Rights Act. It's important to understand that the Act does not necessarily prevent employers from behaving unfairly or from terminating employees for "unfair" reasons. An employee can be "let go" because of the way she "rolls her eyes" — in fact, unless discrimination is involved, employers are generally free to terminate an employee at any time for any reason, just as an employee can generally quit a job at any time. But if you believe your daughter's race was a factor in her dismissal, you may wish to contact our intake unit at 651-296-5663 or 1-800-657-3704 on her behalf, and tell us why you think so.
We can't speak to whether or not it was proper that your daughter was paid in cash — unless she was the only one paid in cash and discrimination was the reason. You may want to contact the Minnesota Department of Revenue, which has an interest in ensuring that employers properly withhold taxes and keep adequate records of wages paid and taxes withheld. You can contact that department at 651-282-9999 or through the web at www.taxes.state.mn.us.
Can They Fire My Kids Because They're Firing Me?
I was terminated from my position as a District Manager. My daughter was terminated by the company at the same time, as was my son, because of their relationship to me. I understand Minnesota is a "at will" employment state, but I wonder if terminating other staff because they are related to an employee being let go is legal? There are no documented or other performance issues.
The Commissioner says:
You raise an interesting question. If your spouse had been terminated merely because that person was your spouse, that would be discrimination based on marital status, and illegal — unless the employer could show that a compelling business reason required your spouse's termination. But while the Human Rights Act prohibits discrimination in employment based on martial status, it does not include "familial status" as a protected characteristic in employment. Thus, it is not a violation of the Act for your employer to terminate your children merely because they also terminated you, even if there are no performance issues.
Can My College Force Me to Live On-Campus?
I'm a sophomore attending a private college. I would like to live off campus next year, but for some reason you have to have special permission to live off campus. Does the college have a right to force students to live on campus?
The Commissioner says:
If a college were to require some students and not others to live on campus, and if race, gender or another protected characteristic was the reason for these differing requirements, there would be a potential violation of the state Human Rights Act. But there appears to be no illegal discrimination in the situation you describe, which would appear to apply equally to all students.We know of no law that would prohibit a private college from requiring students to live on campus, but unless discrimination is involved, the question is outside of our jurisdiction and expertise. To explore it further, you may choose to contact a private attorney.
How Long Can I Wait To File a Civil Suit?
How long after an employee is let go from work does he or she have to file a civil law suit against a company ?
The Commissioner says:
A civil suit alleging a violation of the Minnesota Human Rights Act must, according to the Act, be filed within one year of the date the discrimination took place. If an employee is terminated for a discriminatory reason, ordinarily the one-year time limit would date from the day he or she received notice of the termination. The statute of limitations may be different if one is suing for wrongful termination for a reason other than discrimination. For information about issues outside the scope of the Human Rights Act, you may wish to consult a private attorney.

Columnist has right to her opinion
Published: Monday, January 2, 2006 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 2, 2006 at 12:00 a.m.
To The Editor: Susan Lane is a friend of mine whom I know well. She makes no claim to be either a scholar or theologian, but I do know that she has studied Greek and Hebrew at UNCA so that she could study the Bible in those languages in which it was written.
Susan is very modest about her accomplishments, but I know she is a serious Bible student who has every right to her opinion about Christianity.
I wonder if the letter writer who objected to that column is as serious a scholar as Susan Lane is.
And of course your columnist does not need to be a theologian or a scholar to have the right to her opinion about whatever subject she chooses for her column.

For some conservatives, refusing to raise the limit on the federal debt would be a tactic to force the government into cutting spending.
Last February, Congress raised the debt ceiling to $14.3 trillion.
The debt is now at nearly $13.9 trillion and growing each day.
A move to raise the ceiling again is expected this spring.
The chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, Austan Goolsbee, says that refusing to raise the debt ceiling would push the country into default - and a far greater economic crisis than Americans saw in 2008.
Goolsbee spoke Sunday on ABC's "This Week."

Boston Goes Down in a Fiery Crash
Sweep of the Red Sox Was a Soul-Crusher for Fans; in Football, Tebow Returns to a Snoozer
Hmmm, we wonder what they're obsessing about in Boston sports radio today. Early-season NHL hockey? Arkansas-Auburn college football? Tiger Woods' romp at the Presidents Cup? The U.S. soccer win over Honduras?
You've got to admit: That was some old-school, gruesome Red Sox playoff self-immolation Sunday. A vintage, kick-the-TV, smash-the-Betamax, not-taking-the-kids-to-IHOP Calvin Schiraldi-era special. Up 5-1 over the rootless Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim of California of the West Coast of the United States, the Sox allowed the Angels to write a cruel new chapter in Boston sports history. In the ninth inning, before many fans way too fresh-faced to remember Bill Buckner or Bucky Dent, the suddenly flammable closer Jonathan Papelbon allowed three runs and gifted the Angels a 7-6 playoff-sealing victory.
And that was that. The Red Sox went down hard—and it felt like a smelly old college roommate had returned and passed out on the couch. These newfangled Red Sox, with their Green Monster seats and fancy TVs tucked into the walls in the box seats near home plate—we saw a woman in a fur vest applaud a J.D. Drew home run Sunday—have been steam-pressed and sanitized for optimal, family friendly entertainment. While Boston was probably going to lose this series—they were down 2-0, after all—brutally breaking hearts isn't supposed to be part of the ticket price. At the end of the game, the genteel Fenway crowd looked as if it had gone in to see "Toy Story" and walked out of "Saw III."
But it's good. Good for the Angels, a quality team that thoroughly outplayed Boston and deserved to sweep. Good for baseball, though the networks are surely crestfallen they won't get the first Red Sox-Yankees ALCS since 2004. Good for the Red Sox fans, too. The haute bandwagoners will surely learn that it's the soul-crushing moments like Sunday, and not the championship pig-piles on the pitcher's mound, that seal a fan's loyalty.
Still, there will be a winter of agony. There will surely be caterwauling about Mr. Papelbon, the wilting offense, and definitely the Red Sox's failure to sign Mark Teixeira, who is currently ushering the Yankees toward a World Series. Victory—and the best players—are a civic entitlement in Boston now, and the pressure will be on general manager Theo Epstein to deliver a player like Joe Mauer, or at least Joe DiMaggio.
Bengals Now Respectable?
If you had told us in August that we'd be spending part of perfectly beautiful Sunday autumn afternoon inside watching a Week 5 Cincinnati Bengals-Baltimore Ravens game, we'd have laughed in your face, and then wondered who'd scrubbed out the freezer, clipped the cat's toenails, and rotated the compost bin, because those are all things we'd rather do than watch an NFL mismatch like that. Seriously, that's a game that even our Baltimore season-ticket-holder friends were trying give away to clients, preferring to spend the afternoon raking leaves and reorganizing backup soda bottles in the garage.
But —whodey!—these are different times for the Bengals, who rolled into Charm City 3-1 and suddenly a non-laughingstock playoff contender. For the past several years, the Bengals have been little more than a Chad Ochocinco inane comment delivery device, but lately they have been the most entertainingly dramatic club in the NFL. They were so again Sunday, as they scored a last-minute victory in Baltimore, 17-14.
Meanwhile, the Cowboys can breathe (slightly) easier after a 26-20 overtime win against the Midwest juggernaut Kansas City Chiefs. This should give Tony Romo at least three to four minutes of breathing room. Perhaps he can go out to breakfast with the equally embattled Eric Mangini, whose Cleveland Browns rolled to a rollicking 6-3 victory over the Buffalo Bills. This, of course, was the high-flying aerial pyrotechnics that Terrell Owens promised upon his arrival in Buffalo.
Elsewhere, a question: Is it fair to consider the Oakland Raiders a "failed state," and could U.N. troops be assembled to intervene? After a close loss to San Diego and a Week 2 victory over the Chiefs, we got suckered into thinking Al Davis's silver henchmen were on the mend, but over the past few weeks they've returned to their usual dysfunctional misery. Sunday's 44-7 loss to the New York Giants was mortifying, and not just because Eli Manning played the entire game blindfolded. (The best moment of the Giants-Raiders contest? When analyst Dan Dierdorf announced late in the first half, with the Giants up 28-0: "Let's be realistic. I don't think this game is winnable for Oakland.")
Can we suggest a 2009 "Narcissus Bowl" between the league's two most inexplicably mismanaged, once-great franchises? Oakland at Washington, Wednesday morning at 7 a.m., the week of the Super Bowl. Just to make it interesting, both teams will be able to make nonsensical trades with each other right before kickoff.
The Cat Doubted Tebow
So Tim Tebow played on Saturday night, troubling neurologists and football analysts everywhere. We will refrain from making further judgment on that one, because by now you've heard a judgment from nearly everyone on the planet (In fact, our cat gave us 20 minutes the other day on why Mr. Tebow should sit.)
We will make a judgment on the game, however: It was a snoozer. Despite Mr. Tebow's comeback and the stakes of a No. 1 vs. No. 4, there was something weirdly disconnected about the Baton Rouge showdown; neither team blew us away as the Gators won 13-3. At one point, a concerned Gators assistant saw Mr. Tebow closing his eyes on the bench, but that was only because he was bored out of his mind watching the LSU offense.

Western Canada Is Up in Arms Over Gun Control
By ANTHONY DePALMA
Published: March 28, 1999
WHITEHORSE, Yukon Territory— When it comes to guns, people on Canada's frontier see things differently than the rest of the country does, and nothing shows that better than the shooting range that was in the basement of a local school for more than 40 years.
''One of my first encounters with that attitude toward guns was on my first day here, when I saw a mother of one of our students coming into the school carrying a rifle,'' said Patrice Berrel, principal of the Whitehorse Elementary School since 1993. ''I asked myself, 'What did I get into?' ''
The Whitehorse Rifle and Pistol Club used the range beneath the gym since the school was built in 1952. There were no accidents, but after someone broke into the school and stole a few guns, some parents complained. The Yukon government was forced to ask the club to leave in 1994, but not before offering about $100,000 to help build a big new clubhouse on nearby Grey Mountain.
The accommodating attitude that allowed the range to operate in the school for so long remains strong throughout the vast Canadian west, making this area the focus of a civil disobedience movement that is extraordinary for a country as law- abiding as Canada.
The catalyst is a sweeping new gun-control law, one of the toughest and most comprehensive anywhere. The law, which took effect Dec. 1, requires all three million gun owners to be licensed, and every one of the estimated seven million rifles and handguns in Canada to be registered. Sales or gifts of easily concealed pistols are banned, though current owners can keep the ones they have, and officials are given broad discretion to deny licenses and to search homes for weapons.
It is no surprise that such a bill, long advocated by gun-control forces in Canada (and in the United States), would bring out civil libertarians who see a Government plot to confiscate private weapons.
But the remarkable aspect is that thousands of normally dispassionate Canadians are proclaiming their intention to break the law. Mostly older gun owners who were exempt from previous registration requirements, they are refusing to register before the Jan. 1, 2003, deadline.
''It's time for Canadians to stand up to government and say, 'This is an unjust and immoral law, and we're not going to obey it,' '' said R. Bruce Hutton, a former officer with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police who founded a group called the Law-Abiding Unregistered Firearms Association. Since its first meeting in November, the group has grown to 7,000 members, mostly in the west.
Here in Whitehorse, an old mining town on the Yukon River, gun owners who have never been involved in anti-gun-control politics before say the new legislation is forcing them to take a new look at things. Lyle Thompson is one of them.
''There's a terrific resentment here against registration, and the biggest reason for that is that people don't trust the Government,'' said Mr. Thompson, 57, who owns a local Shell gasoline station and who has been hunting since he was a child. ''I know that sounds radical, and 10 years ago I would have said it will never happen because this is Canada, people here can vote. But I've changed my mind.''
Mr. Thompson, the vice president of the Whitehorse Rifle and Pistol Club, has no intention of registering any one of his 16 firearms until the very last minute, if then. Instead he has jumped into local politics and is now director of the local chapter of the Reform Party, which opposes this gun-control law.
Although polls routinely show that most Canadians, including gun owners, want some form of control, opposition to the new law is strong.
Federal officials in Ottawa and gun-control advocates across Canada insist that while the law will make it costlier for some Canadians to acquire arms, it will not hinder the right of most to own a gun.
''There's nothing in the law that prevents people from using guns for legitimate purposes,'' said Wendy L. Cukier, a professor of justice studies at Ryerson Polytechnic University. She helped found the Coalition for Gun Control, which was instrumental in the passage of the new law.
But as important as gun control is, there is more to this controversy.
At the heart of it, the imposition of national regulations revives lingering resentments that in the past have led to a secessionist movement in the west and gave rise to the Reform Party and other organizations that channel feelings of alienation.
''This law might make sense in urban Toronto, but it sure doesn't make sense out here in the west,'' said Mr. Thompson. In Ontario, about 15 percent of households have a firearm; in Yukon, the percentage is close to 70.
Even provincial governments in the west resent what they see as Ottawa's meddling. Yukon joined Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and the Northwest Territories in challenging the constitutionality of the gun-control legislation, arguing that regulations governing property are the jurisdiction of the provinces, not the federal Government.
In a split decision, the Alberta Court of Appeal upheld the law, but the provinces and territories have sought a ruling from the Supreme Court of Canada.

Saturday's letters: Promoting literacy
Published: Saturday, May 22, 2010 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, May 24, 2010 at 1:58 a.m.
To The Editor: Thank you for providing a sounding board where readers can publish their opposing opinions as well as a public soapbox on which those same readers can promote their righteous causes. My cause is the second Blue Ridge Bookfest at Blue Ridge Community College on June 4-5. It is a reflection of our freedoms exercised that we can read what we choose, write what we think and enjoy public gatherings that encourage diverse thinking, but it is a reflection of our education that we can comprehend what we read, articulate well what we think and publicly present and defend our stances eloquently. An insightful thinker once remarked, "The man who can read and doesn't is no better off than the man who can't." It is the explicit mission of the bookfest to promote the total concept of literacy. It does this by spotlighting the talents of regional authors and encouraging writing by the fledgling authors of Henderson County. All readers, please come. You'll increase your hat size from the amount of knowledge you'll garner, and be vastly entertained and enlightened by the company you'll keep.

Terrorism 101
To The Editor: The United States is facing its most dangerous threats in its history. With a fatal attraction to President Barack Obama and a clandestine invasion from Mexico, we now are realizing a threat of significant proportion from a dedicated jihadist movement. An explanatory memorandum on the general strategic goal for the group in North America reads, "The process of settlement is a 'Civilization-Jihadist Process' with all the word means. The Ikhwan must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and 'sabotaging' its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated ..." The religion of Islam would replace all other religions. Financed with oil dollars and phony nonprofits, the jihad attack is relentless. While mainstream media downplays events, Hal Weatherman exposes the jihad movement with examples of the execution of its various elements. You can't miss Weatherman's presentation "Connecting the Dots: Terrorism 101" at 8:00 a.m. Wednesday at the Opportunity House. The presentation is sponsored by the Republican Men's Club and open to the public.
Grady Hawkins
Final weekend
To The Editor: I saw the play "The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail" last weekend at the Hendersonville Little Theatre. It is special -- educational and with a timely message for all Americans. It is not being supported as it should be. Seats are still available, and students can go for a special rate. There's only one weekend left -- 8 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. Don't miss it.
