State looks for owners of $64 million in unclaimed propertyStaff Report | November 05,2013MONTPELIER — The state Treasurer's office is currently in the middle of fall outreach efforts to alert Vermonters to search for unclaimed property.
There's now more than $64 million in Vermont's unclaimed property fund.
During the last fiscal year, the average claim paid $385 in cash to 13,435 individuals who discovered they had unclaimed financial property.
"Vermonters are finding that taking the time to check each year can really pay off," said State Treasurer Beth Pearce. "At this year's Champlain Valley Fair we had 950 claim form requests made on $173,121 in unclaimed property. The largest amount of a single claim request was $28,793."
Through November 13, the office will distribute its annual publication of new unclaimed property listings through newspapers across the state. Additional advertising will direct people to search for their name at MissingMoney.Vermont.gov.
Financial property becomes "unclaimed" after a business or nonprofit entity loses contact with a customer for a period of years. The property is sent to the State Treasurer's Office to locate the property owner. Unclaimed property includes cash, checks, security deposits, refunds, stocks, bonds, insurance policies, bank accounts, and estates.
There is no time limit for filing a claim and no charge to claim funds through the Treasurer's office.
Vermonters are advised to be wary of services that offer to locate property for a fee. Vermont law forbids such businesses, known as asset locators, from charging more than 10 percent of the value of the unclaimed property for their services.
Anyone with questions should contact the Unclaimed Property Division by calling 828-2407 or (800) 642-3191.MORE IN This Just InHARTFORD, Conn.

We were driving through West Virginia on June 17, 2011 and my wife logged on to her computer to find a hotel for us for the night in the Charleston WV area. We have used Travelocity.com many times before, and on their website Travelocity has a section called Top Secret Deals. They DO NOT tell you what the hotel is or the directions to it, only that it is in the area you have requested (we requested Charleston WV). Once you bid on it and are successful, they give you the hotel name and address.
The hotel they sold us, was in Sutton WV, NOT in the Charleston WV area. If you go to Mapquest.com you will see that Sutton WV is 66.95 miles away from Charleston WV. Hardly in the Charleston area.
My wife then called Travelocity to have it removed, but Travelocity stonewalled her and said, sorry all sales are final. Of course she ended up with some Indian woman in a callroom in India. My wife said we will handle it with American Express then.
Either Travelocity is stupid or this is a scam they randomly pull. They hide behind the internet, and are impossible to deal with. We have mentioned this to others, and were surprised to find several other people had similar problems with Travelocity. We are exploring the possibilty of a class action lawsuit against Travelocity. We reported this to our credit card company and they are investigating this as well.

Summary: New Zealand Nov 11
- November 2011
- Region: New Zealand
- Standard & Poors
The ratings on New Zealand reflect our opinion of the country's fiscal and monetary policy flexibility, economic resilience, public policy stability, and its sound financial sector, which we see as strong. These strengths are moderated by New Zealand's very high external imbalances, which are accompanied by high household and agriculture sector debt, dependence on commodity income, and emerging fiscal pressures associated with its aging population. In our view, the New Zealand economy performed soundly in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, supported by high prices and sound climatic conditions for dairy farming, and improving household and business sentiment and spending that offset weakness in domestic consumption and a temporary setback due to the Canterbury earthquakes. We believe the economy...

Takes a bit of time to be absorbed into the skin
Posted by Reviewer3276967 on Aug 14, 2012
The product has tea tree in it and the smell of it overpowers the rest. I'm not sure it's effective yet, but I will say that it seems to "float" on top of the skin for quite a while. So after I roll it on I've now started "patting" it in - it still is several minutes before I'm able to apply any concealer over it.

Hi Everyone! We had my daughter's 2nd birthday party yesterday, and I overbought on the deli meat for sandwiches. I've got about a pound each of deli-sliced turkey and ham, and 1/2 lb of deli-roast beef left over. Our little family of four can't possibly eat that much meat before it goes bad, so I'm looking for what to do with it. I'm wondering if there are any good casserole or pasta recipes floating around that use deli meat. We're already doing lots of sandwiches, so I'm hoping for some other recipes. We also have a good amount of bread, so a strata sort of thing would work too.
I've tried searching both on the bulletin boards and in recipe finder, but nothing seems to come up for "deli meat". I'm not sure what else to call it. Any specific recipes people can share would be really helpful. Thanks!

Why is everyone so afraid of Buddy Cianci running for office? He served his time. It�s legal for him to do so. Why the fear?
If you can�t make a better case to the voters than �don�t vote for him� then I�m not so impressed with you. As far as making Rhode Island a �laughing stock� by electing him, Rhode Island already IS a laughing stock due to the people presently in the State House, who seem fiercely intent on maintaining that status.

'One For the Money,' 'The Grey,' and 'Man on a Ledge': Review Revue
While the world of filmdom trains its sights on the Sundance Film Festival this week, there are plenty of diversions in multiplexes for those of us who couldn't make the trek to Park City. We've got a snowy survival story "The Grey," starring Liam Neeson and Dermot Mulroney), a twisty heist thriller "Man on a Ledge," starring Sam Worthington and Elizabeth Banks), and the tale of a sassy bounty hunter ("One For the Money," starring Katherine Heigl and Jason O'Mara). (Incidentally, the latter two films are being released, respectively, by Lions Gate and its recently acquired subsidiary, Summit Entertainment). Find out what the critics have to say on Rotten Tomatoes.
"The Grey"
Liam Neeson is carving out a nice little niche as a middle-aged action hero, and critics say the smart and suspenseful "The Grey" offers further testament to his authoritative presence as a man locked in combat with nature. When a plane carrying a group of oil-drillers crashes in the unforgiving Alaska wild, Ottway (Neeson) must lead the survivors to safety through a stretch of wilderness that's home to a particularly aggressive and bloodthirsty pack of wolves. "The Grey" is currently Certified Fresh at 79 percent on Rotten Tomatoes' Tomatometer; check out some of the reviews here:
Fresh: "'The Grey' has a certain muscular pull: It's a tough-as-nails study of hardened men struggling with the ostensibly conflicting pulls of stoic masculinity on one hand and love, faith and fear of death on the other." — Ian Buckwalter, NPR
Fresh: "[Director Joe] Carnahan is smart enough to know what not to show. When those largely unseen wolves start hooting and moaning, the sound goes right through you: It's a howl of existential pain from nature's peanut gallery." — Stephanie Zacharek, Movieline
Fresh: "When I learned of Sarah Palin hunting wolves from a helicopter, my sensibilities were tested, but after this film, I was prepared to call in more helicopters." — Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten: "The wolves seem to have watched a lot of 'Friday the 13th' movies, because they have a knack for pouncing out of the shadows that rivals the mad skills of Jason Voorhees." — Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
"Man on a Ledge"
Many thrillers require audiences to suspend their disbelief, but critics say the trouble with "Man on a Ledge" is that its plot is too convoluted and implausible to generate suspense, despite the best efforts of a talented cast. Sam Worthington stars as Nick Cassidy, a disgraced ex-cop who climbs out on a hotel ledge with the expressed purpose of jumping. However, as police psychologist Lydia Mercer (Elizabeth Banks) tries to talk him down, she suspects he may be part of a larger undertaking. It's currently at 20 percent on the Tomatometer; read what the critics have to say here:
Rotten: "['Man on a Ledge' is] completely preposterous, relying on massively improbable twists of fate." — Gary Thompson, Philadelphia Daily News
Rotten: "For a film with such a straightforward title, 'Man on a Ledge' turns out to be remarkably convoluted." — Keith Staskiewicz, Entertainment Weekly
Rotten: "This cloddishly contrived suspenser is too busy to bore, but too farfetched to thrill." — Justin Chang, Variety
Fresh: "[Director Asger] Leth spins out the mystery quite effectively and while he's doing so introduces a number of other elements that keep the film entertaining." — John Hazelton, Screen International
"One For the Money"
It appears the folks behind "One For the Money" are afraid it isn't one for the ages, since it wasn't screened for critics prior to release. Based upon Janet Evanovich's bestselling novel, the movie stars Katherine Heigl as a Jersey girl who takes a job as a recovery agent for a bail bondsman; soon, she's tasked with bringing in a murder suspect who happens to be her ex-boyfriend. Check back with Rotten Tomatoes for reviews when they become available.

About the Book
"[Ahern] gives us full permission to believe in magic." <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
—Redbook Magazine
One of the world's most popular writers of women's fiction—author of the beloved international bestseller, P.S. I Love You, basis for the popular film starring Hilary Swank—Cecelia Ahern now gives us Thanks for the Memories, a heartwarming tale of déjà vu and second chances. Reminiscent of The Time Traveler's Wife, Thanks for the Memories is a love story brimming with hope and feeling and enlivened with an enchanting touch of magic.
How can you know someone you've never met? That's the question haunting Joyce Conway these days. Recovering from a terrible accident and with her marriage in pieces, Joyce is suddenly plagued by an overwhelming sense of déjà vu that makes her feel as if the life she's living is not her own. During the day she has vivid memories of things she's never seen—such as cobblestoned Parisian streets she's never visited—and at night she dreams of a little girl she's sure she's never met. Joyce is convinced she's lost her mind . . . until a series of coincidences leads her on a journey to meet the one person who may hold the answer she needs.
Someone's life could be depending on you right now. . . . That's the pitch that finally persuades Justin Hitchcock to donate blood—the first thing to come straight from his heart in a long time.
Restless and lonely, Justin chased his ex-wife and daughter from Chicago to London, and now he's in Dublin, guest-lecturing to bored college students. When he receives a basket of muffins with a thank-you note attached, he's sure someone's playing a joke on him, but then the presents keep coming. Intrigued, Justin is determined to solve the mystery—a quest that will change his life forever.
Thanks for the Memories is a heartwarming story of hope, love, and second chances—Cecelia Ahern's most magical novel yet.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"Love and déjà vu feature in this wacky fairy tale about a woman 'transfused' with a stranger's memories. The romance is just what you'd expect from the popular author of P.S. I Love You." — Good Housekeeping
"Ahern cleverly uses the same mystical flirtations that made her P.S. I Love You a big-screen rom-com." — Marie Claire
"The what-if questions that arise [in Thanks for the Memories] give us full permission to believe in magic." — Redbook Magazine
"Ahern has a knack for getting to the heart of human emotions--Joyce's emotional pain is palpable, as is Justin's longing for meaning in his life." — Library Journal
"Ahern devotees will enjoy the magical connection that springs up between Joyce and Justin, and will keep turning the pages to find out if the two can make their way to a happy ending together." — Booklist
"Tender and funny . . . Nice comic timing and [an] affectionate portrayal of a father and daughter." — Kirkus Reviews
"Cecelia Ahern follows the success of her novel P.S. I Love You with another must-read book. Thanks for the Memories leads readers on a journey of the heart in this profound story." — Complete Woman

You know how those freeway signs spoke to Steve Martin in "L.A. Story?" Well I'm having a similar relationship with my Fitbit. Fitbits are those little electronic tracking devices that you wear to record your exercise, sleep and -- when synchronized with a mobile app -- your food intake. It's a tech version of keeping a diet log and since I'm always looking for things short of having a heart attack to motivate me to lose weight, I bought one. While I've only had it a month, I've already learned a lot about aging from my Fitbit. Here's what I mean:

This product (Red Metallic Streamer) was perfect for our Open House - Ribbon Cutting Celebration! Perfect! In comparison, the other sellers of ribbon for Ribbon Cutting Celebrations, were obnoxiously priced. One company wanted us to spend $150.00 for 80 feet of ribbon that we were just planning on cutting. $150.00! Crazy! I am SO glad I found this website and this product. It looked amazing, cut very nicely, and we still have loads left for other events!

The Young and the Hirable
Putting a teen on the payroll? Get familiar with child labor laws first.
Rage Against the Machine
Child labor laws were created in response to a time when there were no restrictions on what kinds of jobs children could do or limitations on how many hours they could work. In the late 1700s in the U.S., there was a proliferation of factories that housed various kinds of power-driven machinery that did not require an adult level of strength to operate. Children were used as a source of cheap labor to operate this dangerous machinery. This unconscionable situation reached a peak the mid-1800s, with kids working up to 18 hours per day in stifling hot or freezing cold environments.
Today, thanks to child labor laws, children are prohibited from operating dangerous machinery such as power-driven metal-forming, punching and shearing machines; most forms of wood-working machines; and power-driven meat processing machinery.
What does this have to do with spa owner Margie and her 16-year-old new hire? It isn't like Margie asked Denise to operate any dangerous machines, right? Wrong, says the U.S. Department of Labor. Studies have shown that the most dangerous machine a child operates in the work environment today is the automobile. The fact that Denise has a driver's license from the State of Tennessee means virtually nothing in a child labor context. Here we are dealing with federal law, and that law is clear: No employee under the age of 17 can drive an automobile as part of his or her job if that job falls under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
How can Margie know if she as an employer is subject to the FLSA? She needs to ask herself two questions: 1) "Does my spa business generate $500,000 or more in annual dollar volume?" and, 2) "Am I involved in interstate commerce?"
For Margie, the answer to the first question was yes. As for the second question, it would seem to be another yes, because Margie operates businesses in two different states. So she's an easy example for this article, right? Not so fast. Yes, Margie is involved in interstate commerce—but not necessarily because she has spas in two states. The truth is, almost every spa owner is involved in interstate commerce—even the single-location owner who doesn't even have a website.

Re: What technique would you apply to neutralize Brazilian Jujitsu attacker
The fact is that BJJ is ground fighting. I have never watched UFC or stuff like that, but I have watched different matches of BJJ in internet to see why people is so attracted to it.
If the fight goes on standing in my humble opinion, of course speaking of even skilled fighters, the Aikidoka would have no problems to defend himslef. But all the matches I have seen every BJJer aims immediately to grab the legs to end the fight on the ground where the Aikidoka has close to 0% chances to win.
Here it not a matter of knowing what Aikido gives you, coz it gives you good tools to fight. The fact is that when the opponent keeps throwing himself at your legs sooner or later he will take you down. You might be lucky and avoid it once, twice, three times, but till when? You might be lucky and get the good timing in entering in irimi on the opponent shoulder and maybe do some damage there or step back or to the side trying to have the BJJer fall down.
What I mean is that you have to find the good timing 100% of the times, while for the BJJer it's enough you miss once and down he brings you. On the ground he will have all the time to find a way to gain victory coz on the ground he won't need to be 100% correct all the time, coz if he makes a mistake on the ground a pure Aikidoka will never be able to take advantage of it.

Alabama attorney general hits roadblock in case against Lowell Barron
Luther Strange challenged on his appeal of court's nonappealable order
Published: Thursday, May 1, 2014 at 11:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 2, 2014 at 12:15 a.m.
MONTGOMERY | Alabama's attorney general has 14 days to show why his appeal shouldn't be dismissed in the prosecution of a former lawmaker.
The Court of Criminal Appeals issued an order Thursday saying it appears the office of Attorney General Luther Strange is attempting to appeal a nonappealable order in the case against former state Sen. Lowell Barron.
The attorney general is fighting a judge's order that bans the introduction of evidence at trial about whether Barron and his campaign aide had a romantic relationship.
Barron, a 28-year veteran of the Senate from Fyffe, and campaign aide Jill Johnson were indicted last year on charges of misusing $58,000 in campaign funds from Barron's unsuccessful re-
election bid in 2010.
They were supposed to go on trial April 14 in DeKalb County, but the trial got delayed when Attorney General Luther Strange's office appealed the ruling by Circuit Judge Randall Cole.
The attorney general's staff argued that not being allowed to present evidence about a romantic relationship would keep the prosecution from showing motive and would be fatal to their case.
They contend Barron provided $58,000 to Johnson, including $50,000 after the 2010 loss, so she could repay a loan he gave her to buy a house.
Barron's attorneys maintain the relationship was always professional and that Johnson used her income from the campaign to pay bills like any other working person does.
Barron has repeatedly criticized the prosecution, saying it has no case.
"Today's order shows that Luther Strange's appeal was yet another attempt to prevent me from getting a fair hearing in DeKalb County," Barron said.
A spokeswoman for the attorney general said his office had no comment.
If the attorney general's appeal is dismissed, Barron's case could be rescheduled for trial soon. If the appeals court decides to hear the appeal, it could take months for a ruling.

The Displaced Person
by Flannery O'Connor
The Displaced Person Theme of Warfare
Thought the exact dates are hazy, "The Displaced Person" is set either during or just after World War II, probably in the early 1940s. The story begins when the Guizacs, a Polish immigrant family, arrive at Mrs. McIntyre's farm in the southern United States. One of the main characters, Mrs. Shortley, fears that the Guizacs have somehow carried the horrors of the war with them, the way a rat would flees. Ironically, all the makings of small-scale war are already present on the McIntyre farm, and the place quickly erupts into a battlefield, with tragic results.
Questions About Warfare
- How does World War II affect the Guizac family? Does the Guizacs' Catholic faith have anything to do with this?
- Would it make a difference to your reading if the story happens before 1945 versus after 1945? Why or why not?
Chew on This
Try on an opinion or two, start a debate, or play the devil's advocate.
Mrs. McIntyre's farm becomes a battlefield that resembles, on a small scale, a World War II battleground.

Guardian EMS plans on "Going Big" for Teen Athletes in Area High Schools
After hearing the story of Scott Stephens, the loss of his son Cody Stephens by Sudden Cardiac Arrest on May 6, 2012, Guardian EMS has been inspired to "Go Big" for the teen athletes of Brown, Coleman and Comanche Counties by providing them with free electrocardiogram screenings (ECG or EKG).
According to Guardian Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Ross Bradley, Stephen's explains that ECG screening could have detected the hidden heart condition that Cody had which suddenly took his life.
Cody was 6'9", weighed 289 pounds, was just a few weeks from graduating from Crosby High School, and was looking forward to continuing his education at Tarleton State University on a football scholarship before his death. He had been working hard to stay in good condition to be prepared for college football practices until one Sunday afternoon, he relaxed in his dad's recliner to watch television and dozed off but never woke up. According to his father, he died in his sleep from sudden cardiac arrest, something that his parents had never heard of or had any idea that someone that young, and seemingly healthy could be at risk for with no warning signs.
Cody's parents have created the Cody Stephens Foundation to share their son's story with others and to raise awareness of this silent killer. They also want to help prevent other families from experiencing the loss and heartache they have gone through since Cody's death.
The foundation is working on an ECG screening program to help implement and facilitate improved physicals to middle and high school student athletes, to include education and raise awareness of Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD) among young seemingly healthy students. The foundation is endorsing the availability of low cost ECGs as a part of sports pre-participation physicals for all athletes and available to all students if requested.
"Seems pretty easy to me, as a parent who lost my hero to sudden cardiac arrest. I want our student athletes to have the opportunity to receive a physical enhanced by an ECG screening and I'm willing to 'Go Big or Go Home' to see that it happens!" states Scott Stephens on the foundation's website.
Scott Stephens fought hard for the passage of Cody's Law (HB 1319) that would require students participating in school sports to have such ECG screening along with their pre-evaluation physical students must do each year. The Texas Legislature, along with the Texas University of Interscholastic League board, declined to adopt the measure because it was cost prohibited.
According to the American Heart Association, Sudden Cardiac Arrest is the leading non-accidental death of student athletes with an estimated 2,000 deaths per year in the United States. These deaths result from an undiagnosed cardiovascular condition that places them at risk for SCD. Early screening with ECGs can detect at-risk students and save lives.
Studies by the American Heart Association indicate that "1 in 500 athletes or more may harbor an occult cardiovascular condition that places them at risk for SCD."
Bradley reported that the most common cause of SCD in young athletes is Intered Cardiomyopathies followed by Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM), which accounts for 1/3 of the cases. A simple ECG screening can pick up 95% of the HCM cases. "A Harvard University study showed that there is a 77% greater chance of finding these diseases with an ECG than just a history and physical exam," Bradley explained. "As the 911 service provider for Brown County, each of the units operated by Guardian EMS contains a portable electrocardiogram screen (ECG) and we can provide the equipment needed to perform the ECG screenings for Brown, Coleman, and Comanche Counties."
He explained that the Cody Stephens Foundation will be instrumental in providing these screenings to area students and that Guardian is working to get support from area doctors and get area school districts on board with the project.
"With the help of the Cody Stephens Foundation and local doctors, we will be able to screen our local athletes at no cost to the parents, legal guardians, or school district," said Bradley. He explained that Guardian is working on a pilot program with Brown County schools to start these ECG screenings on high school athletes at the school districts and that most districts are on board.
Bradley stated that Guardian EMS will absorb the cost of to perform the ECG screenings, which includes the cost of running the ambulance and paying the employees who will administer the screenings. Guardian EMS has secured the supplies (10 electrode pads per student) needed to provide the estimated 3,000 Brown County high school students with these screenings. They are hopeful that donations can eventually be secured from medical suppliers of the electrode pads to offer the screenings to students statewide.
Bradley stated that he has a personal interest in this project, as being a paramedic, he has been able to help save many lives over the years he worked on ambulances and now in administration of the company, this gives him a chance to once again help save lives.
"This is my opportunity to help save a life. We (Guardian EMS) want to present this to everybody because it's foolish not to use it (ECG screening)," said Bradley. "If we do 500,000 screenings and we are able to help save 1 life, it is worth it. You can't put a price on life."

iPhone 5S Touch ID video review
We test the Apple fingerprint scanner
THE MAJOR SECURITY FEATURE of the iPhone 5S is the addition of the Touch ID fingerprint scanner.
The Touch ID Sensor sees Apple looking to further boost iPhone security, and in this video we test the feature, show you how to set it up and see whether it works smoothly.
The sensor is built into the home button, and offers a secure new way to unlock the device. It works by scanning the sub-epidermal skin layers of the person holding the iPhone to verify their identity before unlocking.
As a safety measure the user's fingerprint is only stored on the A7 chip and is never uploaded to the cloud.
Users can set up the fingerprint sensor for more than one finger, for example to use Touch ID left- and right-handed or letting a partner or friend access their 5S. It can be used in any orientation, which should avoid any fiddly operation required to get your finger in the correct position. µ

Prosecution says soap star was lying when he denied sexually abusing five girls
Coronation Street star Bill Roache yesterday denied ever meeting the five women who accuse him of rape and sexual assault, telling a court that he had cheated on his first wife in the 1960s in "a series of small relationships" but that he was not a paedophile.

A woman allegedly sexually assaulted by Coronation Street actor William Roache said she felt like "a coward" for not going to the police before she did.
The Rovers Return has gained an extra window, Four Your Fries Only has won a four star hygiene rating and Nick's Bistro has little to offer vegetarians
Who has left luxury behind to face the bushtucker trials down-under?
Hebburn, which began a second series on BBC2 last night, is a relic from a different era. Well, that's a bit unfair, but if you saw Vic Reeves's name on the cast list and assumed you were in for some proper comedy, Hebburn has been a disappointment. We should have looked closer. Whenever Vic Reeves is credited by his real name, Jim Moir, it usually signals his intention to put his feet up and fade into the background.
But can it beat EastEnders and Coronation Street in the ratings?

Judging by his comments, I guess my disability is just a punishment for being a total badass in a previous life?
The pipe-puffing, braces-wearing Denis Forman was one of the godfathers of commercial television in Britain. He firmly believed in making high-quality programmes that were also popular. Under his stewardship, Granada Television was particularly noted for the investigative journalism and dramas that it produced for the ITV network.
Coronation Street's famous Rovers Return is set to go up in flames in a blaze which kills soap favourite Sunita Alahan.

About the Book
Necessary As Blood is the latest entry in Deborah Crombie's New York Times Notable, Edgar®, Agatha, and Macavity Awards-nominated mystery series featuring Scotland Yard detectives Duncan Kincaid and Gemma James. A Texan frequently compared to the masters of British crime fiction—including P.D. James, Martha Grimes, Barbara Vine, and fellow American Elizabeth George—Crombie dazzles once more with Necessary As Blood—a relentlessly suspenseful tale of a vanished mother, a murdered father, and a helpless, endangered child.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
In this dazzling addition to Deborah Crombie's acclaimed mystery series, a disappearance, a murder, and a child in danger lead Scotland Yard detectives Gemma James and Duncan Kincaid into London's legendary East End—a neighborhood where the rich and the poor, the ambitious and the dangerous, collide—to solve one of the most challenging and disturbing cases they've ever faced. . . .
Necessary as Blood
Once the haunt of Jack the Ripper, London's East End is a vibrant mix of history and the avant-garde, a place where elegant Georgian town houses exist side by side with colorful street markets and the hippest clubs. But here races and cultures still clash, and the trendy galleries and glamorous nightlife of Whitechapel disguise a violent and seedy underside, where unthinkable crimes bring terror to the innocent.
On a beautiful Sunday afternoon in mid May, a young mother, Sandra Gilles, leaves her daughter with a friend at the Columbia Road Flower Market and disappears. Shortly thereafter, her husband, a Pakistani lawyer, is killed. Scotland Yard detective Gemma James happens upon the scene in time to witness the investigator making a mistake.
When Duncan and his trusted sergeant, Doug Cullen, see Gemma's name in the report, they decide to take the case. Working together again, Gemma, Duncan, Doug, and Melody Talbot must solve it before the murderer can get his hands on the real prize, Naz and Sandra's daughter.
But just as the case grows more dangerous, a personal issue threatens to throw Gemma and Duncan off the trail. In the end, it is up to them to stop a vicious killer and protect the child whose fate hangs in the balance.

US Beverage Partners with Gluten-Free Beer Brand
New Planet Beer Co., a pioneering Colorado craft brewer of gluten-free beers, and United States Beverage, LLC have agreed on a joint venture to establish US Beverage as the exclusive national sales and marketing representative for the New Planet beer brand, effective March 1, 2014. According to the agreement, US Beverage will utilize its broad network and resources to manage all sales and marketing activities to build the New Planet brand nationwide.
"We are very excited at the opportunity to grow in the gluten-free category with US Beverage's sales and marketing leadership. US Beverage is considered a market leader, and top importer of super-premium and craft beer in the United States. With the addition of our brand to their quality portfolio, we feel that the sky's the limit for New Planet as the gluten-free category continues to grow," says Pedro Gonzalez, owner and founder of New Planet Beer. "US Beverage helped build an assortment of imported and craft brands during its 17 years of business. We believe that they are the right team, at the right time, to take New Planet to the next level."

Our ales are full flavored, all-natural, and 100% gluten free, not to mention vegan, and GMO free by spring 2014," continues Mr. Gonzalez.
New Planet Beer Company will continue to focus on production management, and the development of new styles within the gluten-free category. New Planet also plans to expand the Boulder brewery to accommodate a tasting room and at the same time, increase brewing capacity for local specialty beers and draft beer business.

Opening High Potential Students Program Spain
By Tim Koekkoek on Dec 14, 2011
My name is Cristina and I am an Intern in the Graduate Recruitment Team in Spain. I am part of The High Potential Students Program, the Internship program we have here in Spain. I would like to share with you the opening that took place a few weeks ago. First of all I would like to explain what the High Potential Students Program is.
We are approximately 50 interns across Spain who have the opportunity to develop our skills: we present to the rest of the interns to share our roles with them, we receive training about Oracle products, and we have the chance of having breakfast with important managers of Oracle, that tell us about their experiences in the company and give us some useful advice to develop our professional career. Another important point of this program is that managers are aware about the responsibilities of having an intern, so they give us objectives to follow up and also help us to develop our skills.
Like last Christmas, we have been making a calendar and all the profits we raise will go to charity . Apart from the social side, this activity has allowed us to become a more cohesive group of interns and we had a great time together taking the pictures for the calendar. The results show how successful this program is. From a total of 54 interns in FY12, 11 of them have been hired and 7 have been sub-contracted. These results motivate us much more, and give us strength to work harder.
Opening HPSP
First of all, we had the opportunity to listen to Antonio, VP of EMEA ACS (Advanced Customer Support) Delivery, who gave us the keys to a successful professional career; the most important is the desire, and the passion we put into our work. Second, Alejandro (HR Director Spain), held a brief presentation about Oracle, he talked about its origins, and about how Oracle has evolved to become in what is today. He made us reflect about what we would like to do in the future and encouraged us that is possible to get our objectives; "if you want, you can, there is no excuse". We also listened to Jorge (Oracle Iberia Consulting Director), he talked about his personal experience and told us some anecdotes when he started as an intern. He emphasized that we should innovate when we do things, and we have to take advantage of this great opportunity of working in Oracle, because it's the beginning of our professional career.
A very interesting part of the opening was the participation of Alfonso (Staff Advanced Support Engineer). He told us about the experience of moving from an intern to employee. The beginnings were hard, and he found bad moments along the way, where the motivation was falling. He rejected other job offers and finally got what he wanted, and opted for Oracle.
Finally, Ana (HR Spain) held the presentation of the High Potential Students Program, she talked about the objectives of the program, the training and activities, and the personal skills that we will develop through the several workshops that we'll have; flexibility, teamwork, communication and initiative. To sum up, this program allows us feel part of the company, and that's very important because in the end… Interns are the future of Oracle!

Record Bonuses For Alaska Airlines Employees
Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air employees received an annual bonus Wednesday totaling $84 million.
Seattle-based Alaska Air Group says the incentive pay amounts to about 9 percent of annual pay or five weeks' pay for most workers.
More than $51 million goes to 6,400 Alaska and Horizon employees in the Puget Sound area. Another $11 million goes to about 2,000 employees in the Portland area. And $8 million goes to 1,700 employees in the state of Alaska. The rest goes to airline workers at other locations.
The annual bonus is in addition to monthly bonuses last year that totaled about $21 million. The combined $105 million is the highest in company history.
Bonuses are paid for meeting goals for on-time arrivals, customer satisfaction, safety, cost controls and profits.
