This place is terrible! Disrespectful to their employees. If you can't keep your employees happy, you can't satisfy your customers either. The Managers don't have enough common sense to figure this out. This was the first job I ever had. They only scheduled me for Four (4) hrs for one day out of a 14 day pay period! The more I asked them to give me more hours, the less they gave me! They treated me and everyone else who worked there like carp! I didn't even feel like a human being there! They expected us to work so fast there all the time that you couldn't even concentrate on any one thing. You start one thing and they are screaming at you to do 50 other things at the same time. While you try to do something else, the burgers you're making are all burning! You have to throw them away and make more. Then the Managers are yelling, "why are you taking so long on those Burgers! Now customers are complaining! Hurry up!" For a job like this, they need to pay about $25/hour! This job was a big waste of 3 months of my life! They were paying me minimum wage, which was $3.80/hour at the time! I had to waste my time and gas to go into work on a day I wasn't scheduled to work to pick up a pay check that was only about $14! This was back when gas prices were starting to slowly go up closer to $2.00! I couldn't even afford to pay my insurance and gas to get into work! This place was a waste of time to work at! Don't make my same mistake! The Managers here are lazy and uneducated. They just sit around and do nothing while they expect you to go do everything else!

Inept employee

SUBMITTED: Friday, February 21, 2014POSTED: Friday, February 21, 2014
Sounds like this is a case of an incompetent worker. If you moved quickly (it becomes a habit, trust me) and learned to multi task, no manager would over look that, no matter how poor the management is. If you are constantly getting yelled at and denied hours, maybe you are not doing a very good job. Attitude goes a long way, too. This "they owe me something" demeanor is very apparent in your writing, and it certainly does not gain the respect of coworkers. When you get knocked back to four hours every two weeks, this is not a subtle message. You might want to reflect on yourself as an employee.

I don't know why you just make a complaint about your long past? The last time I saw gas price of $2 per gallon was... 10 years ago? Also, the minimum wage went up to $7.25 in 2009 if I remember correctly. So my point is "what do you want out of this?" It seems that you hold the grudge for a very long time. Not sure why...

Of course you know it all with your three months of experience. How did they get that company off the ground or even survive before you came along?

I would absoultely love this product if it wasn't for the fact that it streaks on my tile and glass. My bathroom (Korean style, entire bathroom is shower) does seem cleaner between weekly cleanings and the smell (though it does give me one good sneeze every morning when I spray it) is heavenly, but I just don't like the streaks.
Excellent product! Very nice smell, gives your shower room very pleasant atmosphere:-).I love it and it keeps my shower absolutely shining and clean and I do not have any allergy, what I usually have from other cleaners, so I will buy it again and again for sure!!!!! Actually all I buy from this shop- is very good quality and very natural!We do not have so nice things in Europe for such a reasonable price. Highly recommended, thanks for the great service always!!!!!

Great, but a bit too much
Posted by 5541137511569899527 on Jun 21, 2016
This cleaner really cleans! It's like magic :) The only problem I've noticed — it smells a bit too much, has a very strong odour, which makes it difficult to apply. Other than that it's ideal.
Great product

Great product. Made my shower and bath squeaky clean with minimal fuss. Also has a wonderful scent
Too flowery
Posted by vegangela on Apr 27, 2016
Love all the Method products I've tried, and while this seems to work, I can't stand the flowery perfume smell. Would much prefer a citrus or mint scent.

City Block-Size Asteroid 2012 LZ1 Zips by Earth as Scientists Watch
Mike Wall is a senior writer for Space.com.
"The 1,650-foot-wide (500-meter) near-Earth asteroid 2012 LZ1 came within 3.3 million miles (5.3 million kilometers) of our planet during its closest approach at 8 p.m. EDT Thursday (0000 GMT Friday)."
"The asteroid didn't exactly streak off into deep space after sidling up next to us. It's moving somewhat parallel to our planet at the moment, researchers said, meaning that large telescopes should still be able to track it for the next week or so."
"While 2012 LZ1's size and proximity to Earth qualify it as a potentially hazardous asteroid, it doesn't appear to pose much of a threat to our planet anytime soon."

Stockton has tied a record-high temperature for this date, topping out this afternoon at 65 degrees, the National Weather Service says.
This is actually the fourth time temperatures have hit 65 degrees on this date. It also happened in 1980, 2009 and 2012.
And there's potential to tie or even break additional records later this week, with temperatures of 67 degrees expected both Wednesday and Thursday, and 66 degrees on Friday.
There is still no rain in sight, forecasters said.

This week (Tuesday 17/07/12) John Mann posted on his web site a story entitled "Devastation at East Midlands" which says that East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS) is proposing to close many of it's 70 Ambulance Stations across the region, including the ones in Worksop & Retford. He is quoted as saying "Lives will be put at constant risk. This is absolute madness. This announcement has been deliberately timed to coincide with the day the Parliament closes for the summer." This is after EMAS issued a media release about how it plans to change the ambulance service. I have uploaded a copy so you can read it for yourself - 170712 - Better response, better performance and better care.
What Mr Mann doesn't say is that, to save money EMAS, is changing how is runs its large fleet. Rather than have all the Ambulance Stations around the region, they are changing the model to run all the ambulances out of 13 hubs where the vehicles can be maintained and serviced.
What this doesn't mean is that Emergency Ambulances will have to come from King's Mill (our nearest hub). There will be 131 Tactical Deployment and Stand by Points across the region where Emergency vehicles will be based which means that the paramedic will be there when we need them. EMAS will still have to meet the targets laid down by the NHS 75% of emergencies responded to with 8 minutes and 95% within 19 minutes
As I wrote in my post "East Midlands Ambulance Service - the truth" in May after local Labour politicians distributed a scare mongering leaflet on these proposals,
"It is right that all service providers, paid for by our taxes, review how best they provide that service to make sure we are getting the best value for our money. The East Midlands Ambulance Service NHS Trust (EMAS), which provides the service locally, should make every effort to make sure our money is spent wisely and carefully while making sure that the service they provide meets the standards laid down by the NHS. If this means how the service is to be delivered has to change then this should be welcomed and supported.
"What Labour doesn't tell you is that when they were in power, the EMAS had one of the worst records of all the Ambulance Trusts. So instead of trying to scare voters about needed changes, Labour should be apologising for their appalling record on the Ambulance Service"
Rather than trying to scare us about these changes, John Mann should actually find out the facts, welcome a better service and the cost saving .

Manmohan Shetty is extremely relieved that his three-year term as chairman of the National Film Development Corporation is coming to an end before the Ides of March. In fact, Shetty's parting advice to the three-decades-old corporation is to wind up. "The NFDC has outlived itself. It should either wind up or reinvent itself, maybe on the model of the UK Film Council, investing only in talent," says Shetty, who admits that he was unable to effect any major change during his tenure.
Shetty's role as NFDC chairman is not the cinegoer's first recall. Nor is the fact that he has produced films like Chakra, Aakrosh and Ardh Satya, much before he approached the market for money. A few SRK fans may be aware that it was Shetty's backing of Kundan Shah's Kabhie Haan Kabhie Naa that shot Shahrukh Khan into stardom. Some may recall his role in bringing to India its first Imax experience. Yet, what overshadowed all the achievements of the man, who began his career as a lab assistant with his elder brother in 1970, is the fact that the Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group (ADAG) bought a 51% stake in his entertainment company Adlabs for a neat Rs 360 crore. The deal gave the ADAG group a controlling stake in the company. But Shetty, along with daughter Pooja, continues to run the show.

Hi there
Can anyone point me in the direction of sample security questions that could
be used to verify a user's identity if they don't have an email address and
have forgotten a password? EG Mother's maiden name, first school etc etc.
I think best practice would be to let a users set the question themselves,
but in this case we need to offer a set of questions for the user to choose
Thanks for the tips,

Gov. John Hickenlooper on Wednesday night cautioned against turning the proposed health care insurance exchange into a political issue, and instead focused on consumer benefits to having such a virtual insurance marketplace.
The Colorado Health Benefit Exchange Board is currently meeting to implement a health insurance exchange for Colorado. It would be designed similar to how airlines sell tickets online, such as through Expedia and Travelocity. The board has already secured a nearly $1 million planning grant, and the aim is to have the exchange be self-sufficient by 2015. The board must implement a means to solicit gifts, grants and donations to fund the exchange.
The issue has at times been caught up in a partisan fight, with some conservatives believing that implementation of the exchange legitimizes federal health care reform, which is currently being challenged in the courts. One component of the federal law requires states to create health care insurance exchanges — but critics feel it is premature. The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals last week struck down a mandate in the federal law that requires nearly all Americans to buy health insurance or pay a penalty. The federal court ruled that the mandate is unconstitutional, paving the way for the law to make its way to the Supreme Court.
But Hickenlooper noted that the exchange in Colorado has bipartisan support, having garnered the sponsorship of House Majority Leader Amy Stephens, R-Monument, who took a political beating from some in the far right for having sponsored Senate Bill 200, the legislation that made the Colorado Health Benefit Exchange Board possible. Hickenlooper said at a public forum in Aurora on Wednesday, hosted by Aurora Health Access, that despite the outcome of federal lawsuits, a health insurance exchange is something that would benefit both consumers and small business owners.
"Not everywhere, but in many parts of our community, there is this persuasion that this is a political issue, that this is going to divide us on whether we're Republicans or Democrats," Hickenlooper told an audience inside the auditorium of the North Middle School Health Sciences & Technology Campus. "But I think that this framework is exactly the opposite. It allows us a legitimate opportunity to define not just health care exchanges, but the issue around health care, and truly in an apolitical way."
Hickenlooper went on to joke that he'll know he's doing his job if he manages to upset all political bases invested in the debate.
"I'll guarantee you from my point of view, and I'm just making a prediction not a promise, but I will find some way to tick off everyone," he quipped. "The very progressive and more liberal part of our community will say I'm being too restrictive, too demanding, and more conservatives will think I'm giving away the house. I think in the middle there is the solution where we do get everyone covered."
Hickenlooper has already received criticism from some Democrats and liberals who believe his appointments to the nine-member Colorado Health Benefit Exchange Board is too health industry heavy, and does not rely enough on consumer input. Appointments include representatives from Anthem Blue Cross, UnitedHealthcare of Colorado, Rocky Mountain Health Plan, and TriZetto, a health care information technology provider. But Hickenlooper told The Colorado Statesman following his remarks on Wednesday that his hands were tied. He said in order to get the feedback that was necessary, he had to look within the health insurance industry.
"We wanted to make sure that advocates for low-income populations for different constituencies, that everyone is represented, but I also wanted to make sure that we had someone who really understood technology and how it relates to all aspects of health care, well that's from within the industry," explained Hickenlooper. "We tried to find, we looked, we wanted to find someone who was a small business person and had to deal with this, well that was someone from the industry."
The Democratic governor said he would use his authority to make changes to the board if he felt there was an imbalance leaning too heavy towards one side. A legislative committee charged with keeping watch over the Colorado Health Benefit insurance Board said it would also monitor the balance of power on the board.
Gretchen Hammer, the executive director of the Colorado Coalition for the Medically Underserved who is the newly elected chair of the Colorado Health Benefit Exchange Board, emphasized a balanced approach to the debate. Hammer, who represents patient and consumer interests, defeated board member Robert Ruiz-Moss, with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield of Colorado, by a 7-2 vote to become interim chairwoman. Board members said they wanted a consumer interest to chair the board given public perception. Hammer said the board is already having a balanced conversation.
"The board is equally committed to having an in depth conversation with the people of the state of Colorado… to figure out how we can build this new marketplace to meet the needs of all communities," she said.
Meanwhile, some citizens are concerned that the exchange won't reach all facets of the community, including low-income and minority populations. Aurora resident Maya Wheeler asked the governor how he intends to reach all members of the community.
"What are you going to do to reduce various cuts to enrollment?" asked Wheeler. "Programs such as Medicaid, CHP+, those programs, a lot of times, don't reach the people that they're intended for, so how are you going to ensure the health exchange reaches the people it's intended for?"
Hickenlooper acknowledged the difficulty in reaching out to all communities, but said the exchange will assist in reaching larger portions of the population.
"There are so many ways when you talk about safety nets, the different avenues by which you try to create connections is frustratingly difficult," he said. "Part of the bigger idea behind this is that we do find a medical home for everyone, that the people have a place where they know they can go on a regular basis."
Lorez Meinhold, a Hickenlooper deputy policy director on health care, acknowledged that the program is far from perfect, but said SB 200 and the exchange board is a step in the right direction.
"The health care reform bill is a step to getting us in the right direction. It's not perfect… but it gives us the tools as Coloradans to determine what is the system that is best for Colorado," she said.
Joan Henneberry, planning director for the Health Benefit Exchange, which is currently being managed by the nonprofit Colorado Health Institute, asked citizens to be patient with the board as the process moves along.
"We want to make sure that individuals and small businesses will come and shop with us," she said. "The exchange is only part of the solution of health reform, but the success of the exchange is critical to improving the health of everyone in Colorado."

Mafioso: Lessons From The 1919 World Series
Mafioso: Lessons From
The 1919 World Series
Page 2 of 2
Everyone can be boughtBaseball was thought to be the purest thing in America in 1919. Fans were heartbroken, players were angry and wise guys, we knew the truth. Everyone can be bought. They say money makes the world go around, and truer words were never spoken. I bet I could pay Mother Nature 10 grand to make the rain stop. I've seen refs throw games, politicians rig elections and heavyweights flop on a phantom punch. It's all a matter of how much — and if you got it, you will have it all. Everyone has their price — just make sure you pick the right one on the first time around. Never flash a Hamilton if you think you need a Benjamin; but never doubt the power of flashing something.
it's a gambleThe 1919 World Series is long gone, and for most, it's been gone for a while now. However, don't think players are any different these days. High school, college, field hockey, or figure skating, there are always odds to play. The best part is, the odds are better when the underdog wins. Find the right guy, find the right team and find the dough. The lessons taught by Gandil, Rothstein, Comiskey, and the Sox can be applied anywhere, but if you happen to use them on the baseball diamond, give me a call — I'd like to place the bet.
Mr. Mafioso answers your e-mail
Editor's note: This reader's e-mail is not edited, and is presented as is.
Dear Mr. Mafioso,
Last article you were hating on Kim Jong il, but aren't there some things you have to commend the guy for?
I never like to deny anyone a little praise, even that ruthless bastardo up North. But to be fair, he is calling the world's bluff, I'm just not sure he knows how far to take it. If he gets what he wants, you might see another article out of me. If he's the crazy cafone I know he is, ultimately pushing too hard, the world will push back.
Stata Buon,
Mr. Mafioso

BELL COUNTY, Ky. (WYMT) -- Bell County has dominated its district in class 3-A, but head coach Wayne Mills' squad has just six seniors on the entire roster to work with this season, making it extra difficult to prepare.
But defense will be the focal point in 2013. The Bobcats had four shutouts last season.
Mills said he isn't worried about the inexperience of his team. He thinks as the season rolls along, so will his team.
"On defense, we think we got some speed this year," Mills said. "I feel like we're not real, real big, but we move well and I think that's going to help us. I think that we will swarm to the ball really well."
"We return some good secondary guys and some linebackers and as our d-line continues to get better. I think we'll have another good defense here at Bell County."
The Bobcats return just four starters from last year's team.
"We are young up front. I think as each game, those kids will gain experience and as we hit district play, you know, you feel like you'll be ready to hit your stride," Mills said. "Anytime you got young players, it's just making sure that they mature and make sure they develop each and every week."

About the Book
In Kentucky Traveler, Ricky Skaggs, the music legend who revived modern bluegrass music, gives a warm, honest, one-of-a-kind memoir of forty years in music—along with the Ten Commandments of Bluegrass, as handed down by Ricky's mentor Bill Monroe; the Essential Guide to Bedrock Country Songs, a lovingly compiled walk through the songs that have moved Skaggs the most throughout his life; Songs the Lord Taught Us, a primer on Skaggs's most essential gospel songs; and a bevy of personal snapshots of his musical heroes.
For readers of Johnny Cash's autobiography, lovers of O Brother Where Art Thou, and fans of country music and bluegrass, Kentucky Traveler is a priceless look at America's most cherished and vibrant musical tradition through the eyes of someone who has lived it.
When six-year-old Ricky Skaggs was called up onstage to play mandolin with bluegrass master Bill Monroe near his small hometown of Cordell, Kentucky, a storied life in music began. With Monroe as a mentor, Ricky joined the Clinch Mountain Boys and became a professional musician at age fifteen. And when Skaggs moved into the world of mainstream country music he became a legend and a household name.
Kentucky Traveler tells the intimate stories of a career built on passion, drive, and faith in God. Sharing tales of his influences, and fondly recalling the instruments that have shaped his sound over the years and the friendships that have shaped his life, Skaggs paints a unique insider look at the evolution of bluegrass.

Director Marc Webb has always seemed like he was born to shepherd The Amazing Spider-Man franchise to the big screen (if only because his last name was "Webb"). But in a recent interview with The Daily Beast, Webb revealed that his time with the web-slinger will be limited to just three films.
"I'd like to be involved as a consultant, and I've already talked to these guys about it, but in terms of directing [The Amazing Spider Man 3], that will close out my tenure," said Webb. I've had so much fun doing it, but after the third movie, it'll be the time to find something else." But with or without Webb, Sony isn't wasting any time — The Amazing Spider-Man 4 is already scheduled for release in May of 2018.
The studio is also developing spin-offs based on villains Venom and the Sinister Six, as part of a plan to release a new entry in the Amazing Spider-Man franchise every year — because the best way to ensure the long-term future of your franchise is to bludgeon audiences over the head with it.

Julian Assange warns of upcoming Hillary Clinton leak that could have 'significant' impact on the election
WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Julian Assange warned Wednesday that Hillary Clinton will be the next target of an information leak. In an interview with Fox News' Megyn Kelly, Assange said the impending leak could have "significant" implications for the presidential election, depending "on how it catches fire in the public and in the media."
"We have a lot of material, thousands of pages of material," said Assange, who is in exile at Ecuador's embassy in London. He added: "It's a variety of different types of documents from different types of institutions that are associated with the election campaign, some quite unexpected angles that are, you know, quite interesting, some even entertaining."
The leak would come on the heels of the Democratic National Committee email leak in July, which prompted DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz to resign on the eve of the Democratic convention. Assange didn't reveal when exactly to expect this next batch, though he said "we are working around the clock" and that it will be sometime before the November election.
Watch Assange's full warning on leaks to come, below. Becca Stanek
Backlash over the dramatically increased price of allergy drug EpiPen pushed the drug's manufacturer, Mylan, to announce Thursday that it would cut patient costs. The company plans to offer a savings card for patients with higher out-of-pocket costs, which, Reuters reported, will cover "up to $300" for a two-pack of epinephrine dispensers and cut costs for a patient paying list price by about 50 percent. Mylan will also double eligibility for its existing patient assistance program, which benefits those who are uninsured and under-insured.
"We recognize the significant burden on patients from continued, rising insurance premiums and being forced increasingly to pay the full list price for medicines at the pharmacy counter," Mylan CEO Heather Bresch said in a statement. "Patients deserve increased price transparency and affordable care, particularly as the system shifts significant costs to them."
Mylan's announcement comes a day after Hillary Clinton called on the company to decrease the price of EpiPen. Since Mylan bought EpiPen in 2007, the wholesale price has jumped from less than $100 for a set of two epinephrine dispensers to as much as $700. Becca Stanek
The Clinton Foundation is developing a plan to insulate Hillary Clinton from potential conflicts of interest if she is elected president — Bill Clinton will stop fundraising and leave the board of directors, though Chelsea Clinton may stay on, and the main foundation will stop accepting corporate and foreign donations but the global Clinton Health Access Initiative may not. But what would happen to Donald Trump's sprawling business empire if he's elected? It's not clear.
If his assessment of his wealth is accurate, Trump would be the wealthiest person elected president, and his holdings include skyscrapers, hotels, golf courses, a winery, a clothing line, and other ventures, many of them abroad, most of them tied to the Trump brand. In a debate in January, Trump said to avoid (unusually large) potential conflicts of interest he would put all of his assets in a blind trust (probably) and leave management of his business to his children, but on NBC News Wednesday night, lawyer and presidential financial disclosure expert Ken Gross said that "to set up a blind trust in the U.S. executive branch is actually quite difficult, and your children can't run it as a legal matter."
In the New York Times article the NBC report featured, Susanne Craig shows that Trump's various companies hold at least $650 million in debt in the U.S., often in complex partnerships with lenders including the Bank of China and Goldman Sachs. The Trump Organization's CFO said that Trump was personally liable for only a "small percentage of the corporate debt" Trump listed on his financial disclosure filing. But he has a clear financial interest in those loans, and his "opaque portfolio of business ties makes him potentially vulnerable to the demands of banks, and to business people in the United States and abroad," Craig writes, citing Richard Painter, George W. Bush's White House ethics lawyer.
"The success of his empire depends on an ability to get credit, to get loans extended to his business entities," Painter told The New York Times. "And we simply don't know a lot about his financial dealings, here or around the world." Legally, Trump would not have to sell off any of his business holdings or shield himself from their management if he becomes president. So as with many of his plans for the White House, what happens to his business empire has a distinct patina of "trust me." Peter Weber
In a wide-ranging interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper on Wednesday night, Hillary Clinton discussed the allegations surrounding the Clinton Foundation and its donors, Donald Trump's shifting immigration position, and his calling her "a bigot," but Cooper also got Clinton to talk about her use of a private email server while secretary of state, and whether or not Colin Powell advised her to use a private email account — as she allegedly told the FBI and Powell sort of disavowed.
"Well, look, I have the utmost respect for Secretary Powell," Clinton said, adding that she appreciates all the advice he gave her as she prepared to become secretary of state, but "I'm not going to relitigate in public my private conversations with him." She continued:
I've been asked many, many questions in the past year about emails, and what I've learned is that when I try to explain what happened, it can sound like I'm trying to excuse what I did, and there are no excuses. I want people to know that the decision to have a single email account was mine, I take responsibility for it, I've apologized for it, I would certainly do differently if I could, but obviously I'm grateful the Justice Department concluded there's no basis to pursue this matter further, and I believe the public will be and is considering my full record and experience as they consider their choice for president. [Hillary Clinton on CNN]
You can watch then entire interview below — the email conversation starts at the 6-minute mark.
Cooper ended the interview asking Clinton why she hasn't held a press conference in more than 260 days, and if, as some advisers say, she's trying to "run out the clock" on Trump. "Will you give a press conference?" he asked. "Well, Anderson, I'm talking to you right now, and I've given, I think, way in excess of 300 interviews this year, so I'm going to continue talking with the press and answering questions," Clinton said. "Why not give a press conference, though, with a lot of different reporters?" he asked. Clinton said, "Stay tuned." Peter Weber
Stephen Colbert began Wednesday's Late Show with a look at Donald Trump's interesting new pitch to black and Latino voters. "Yes, blacks, Hispanics, what the hell do you have to lose?" he repeated. "Because you should really hide whatever that is before he becomes president." He wasn't done: "By the way, 'What the hell do you have to lose? Give me a chance' is also how Trump proposed to all of his wives."
That wasn't the only Trump news. Colbert noted the five-fold increase in rent at Trump's campaign headquarters, inside Trump's Trump Tower, as soon as campaign donors, not Trump himself, started paying the bills. "A 500 percent rent increase!" he said. "Man, the landlord at Trump Tower must be a real tool." This disclosure, buried in an FEC filing, raises some questions, Colbert said, but "still, it's nice to hear a story about Trump actually paying someone the money he owes them. Sure, it's to Donald Trump, but...." The but is a slightly racy joke. Colbert ended his monologue with new reports about the Clinton Foundation and Hillary Clinton, and Colbert decided to try to buy an interview with Clinton with a $5 bill, after noting that the Clintons have both pleaded their innocence and pledged to wall themselves off from the Foundation if Hillary is elected. "Okay, so there you have it," he said: "They did nothing wrong, and they promise they will never do it again." Watch below. Peter Weber
On Tuesday, four Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) boats approached the USS Nitze near the Strait of Hormuz, two of the vessels slowing and turning course only after coming within 300 yards of the U.S. guided-missile destroyer, a U.S. Navy official told Reuters and CNN on Wednesday night. The vessels harassed the U.S. warship by "conducting a high speed intercept and closing within a short distance of Nitze, despite repeated warnings," the official said. "The Iranian high rate of closure... created a dangerous, harassing situation that could have led to further escalation, including additional defensive measures by Nitze."
The Nitze tried to contact the Iranian vessels 12 times but received no reply, and fired 10 flares, among other warning signals, the official said. The ship and U.S. officials have determined that the Iranians violated the 1972 Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, and the U.S would lodge a diplomatic complaint if Iran and the U.S. had diplomatic relations. "For four decades the Revolutionary Guard have been told that America is the greatest threat to the Islamic Revolution," Karim Sadjadpour at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace told Reuters. "This institutional culture hasn't changed after the nuclear deal." You can learn more, and see footage of the close encounter, in Elise Labott's report on CNN below. Peter Weber
Donald trump "is already floating the conspiracy theory that the election might be rigged, and who knows? He could be right," Stephen Colbert said, mysteriously, on Wednesday's Late Show. "Because I heard that millions of Americans are planning to use a secret ballot." Trump and other Republicans have also been pushing the conspiracy theory that Hillary Clinton is ill, and Colbert played an amusing clip of Karl Rove laying out the theory with the help of whiteboards on Fox News earlier this week. "Oh my god," Colbert said, "Hillary's illness has already spread to Megyn Kelly, causing her vertical blindness in one eye, and uncontrollable giggles, evidently."
But that was just the beginning, the intro to a new segment. "Welcome to the Truth Bunker," Colbert said, "where I share the secret truths they don't want you to know and I actually don't know." He had one Clinton health theory, then said, "Okay, enough politics — that's what they want us to talk about." And the rest of his conspiracies are mostly just conspiracy jokes — you can watch them below. Peter Weber

In Victory Speech, Obama Pledges to Heal Divide
Above, a clip from Obama's speech.
CHICAGO—President Barack Obama, in a celebratory re-election speech early Wednesday, said he will in his second presidential term strive bridge a partisan divide that has proven difficult to bridge during his first four years in the White House.
"We are not as divided as our politics suggests. We're not as cynical as the pundits believe," Mr. Obama told a crowd of supporters shortly after 1:30 a.m. Eastern Time as he accepted his re-election as U.S. president. "We are greater than the sum of our individual ambitions and we remain more than a collection of red states and blue states. We are, and forever will be, the United States of America." (See the transcript.)
Mr. Obama's speech at Chicago's McCormick Place convention center struck on themes that animated his rise to the top of American politics–that there is more that unites Americans than divides them. That theme—indeed, some of those words—were the highlight of Mr. Obama's 2004 speech at the Democratic National Convention that propelled him first to the U.S. Senate and then, just four years later, to the White House.
In his first presidential term, Mr. Obama sought to enact long-held Democratic priorities with the big Democratic majorities in Congress that greeted him, making policy moves that led to a partisan start with congressional Republicans that he wasn't able to reverse.
Mr. Obama said he would set out immediately to find ways to address the country's political split, saying he will meet with defeated Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney soon "to talk about where we can work together to move this country forward" and will reach out to other Republicans to reach the same goal. He returns to Washington where Democrats held on to control of the Senate but Republicans still control the House.
He said that despite political differences, most Americans share the same values and hopes for the U.S.—a place where children have access to the best schools, where the federal balance sheet is not burdened by debt, where generosity, compassion and tolerance are valued.
"Now, we will disagree, sometimes fiercely, about how to get there. As it has for more than two centuries, progress will come in fits and starts. It's not always a straight line. It's not always a smooth path," Mr. Obama said. "But that common bond is where we must begin."
The president also used his speech to pay homage to his wife, daughters and vice president, Joe Biden, who he called the "happy warrior." And he paid tribute to his campaign advisers and supporters, who engineered victory at a time when many thought persistent joblessness and weak economic growth would make a win almost impossible.
Of his campaign team and volunteers, he said : "Some of you were new this time around, and some of you have been at my side since the very beginning. But all of you are family. No matter what you do or where you go from here, you will carry the memory of the history we made together."

With this movie I would like to show you how you can access multiple opened images using the Project bin. I'm currently in Bridge and I'm viewing the images in our catalog images folder, which is part of our exercise files. So what we're viewing here in the Content panel has all the images inside of that folder and what I'd like to do is I'd like to locate some specific images. Let's say for instance that you'd like to work with multiple images in order to create a PDF slideshow. Let's go ahead and locate specific group of images. I'm going to go ahead using the Find dialog box. We're pressing Command+F to bring up that dialog box. Type in into the Search criteria by Filename the word Tarpon. When I click Find, it's going to bring up all the images that have the word Tarpon in the file name.
And those are images of these boats taken in Tarpon Springs. So what I'd like to do, I select multiple images in here. I'm going to actually select that one and then I'm going to Command-click to select various images here within the series and these are the images that I like to open up into Elements and possibly include in my slideshow. So now that I have clicked on these Command-clicked on all of these images here in the Content panel, what I want to do is open these up.
So I'm going to do this time is use the keyboard shortcut of Command+O. That opens up all of the images at once here in Photoshop Elements as you can see. Now what I want to refer to down here is this area and that's the Project bin. You can see thumbnails of all of the opened images from within the Project bin. That gives you quick and easy access to these images inside of Elements. So if I want to, I can select a different image. I currently have the forefront image, the one that's being shown up here up above, select it over here on the right or at least it's being highlighted to let us know that, that is the forefront image.
To select that, I have to actually click on it. I'm going to select a different image there. Let's say this one over here. I can tell it's selected by the much thicker blue highlight as opposed to the thin one over here showing the image that's currently visible on the front. If I double-click on the image, it's going to bring that image to the front. So now it has the thin blue stroke and the thick blue stroke. So the quick and easy way to bring the image that you want to work with to the front when you're in this maximized mode here is to just double-click the image.
You can also do some other things inside of the Project bin and I'd like to show you how to do that now. A lot of them rely on actually right clicking with the mouse over a selected image or if you're working with a single button mouse, you can hold down the Control key and then click in order to access the contextual menu. So you can see in here we have various commands. We can actually close an image, we can minimize it, we can access its metadata info using the File Info command if we needed to ever do that, and locate some metadata info, something about the image that's embedded in its file.
We can duplicate it, we can rotate it, we can add a blank page to something you might want to do later when you're creating a photo project that contains multiple pages something like a scrapbook or photo book something like that, maybe a collage, and this goes along with that Add Page Using Current Layout, same sort of thing, one is blank, one uses an existing layout. And then we also have some visibility options down here. Currently, we're just viewing the thumbnail and it's the large thumbnail. We can change it to small thumbnails. We can also show file names if we like so we can see the actual names of the files. Something else you might want to try doing is repositioning the Project bin. You can change the size of it. You can make it smaller or larger, if you ever need to do that, if you fill this up into such a situation where you have multiple rows of images, you can actually scroll over here and change the size of the Project bin.
Just so I can show you the rotate feature. You can rotate these images from within here and when you do, it's going to rotate the image that you're working with up above as well. It's rotating the document window, okay. So it's -- not just rotating the thumbnail from within here. It's rotating the actual image as well. Let's go ahead and duplicate one. You can choose to add in any convention. If it has layers, you can flatten it, this one does not, but that option does exist if you do. I wouldn't recommend doing this. We'll talk about that more in the Layers movie actually. I'm going to go ahead and click OK, and that makes a duplicate and adds it at the end of the list here.
Something else you can do is close an image, I'm going to move ahead and just select a different image in here, but I'm not actually going to bring it to the forefront, just going to select it. This is the forefront image, the one that we're viewing, but this one is selected. If I right click now, I can choose Close and now it has been removed from the Project bin. So we're no longer working with it here inside of Elements. All right, something else you can do is you can hide the Project bin by clicking this button down here. When you do that, you have more room to focus on the image that you're working with here. That's something that I actually do quite often.
If I maybe applying the multiple adjustments to my images before I start gathering them into a project, I sometimes like to hide the Project bin so I can have more room to focus on the image itself and not these thumbnails down here. Screen Real Estate is everything. Sometimes you just really need to focus on the image and not all of the tools surrounding it. All right, one last thing I want to show you about the Project bin is you can actually access the Create tab and the Share tab from right within here. The Create tab is up here and the Share tab. You can click on these to access different commands, rather than moving the mouse all the way at there, if you're working with the Project bin down here and you have an image or images selected, let's say maybe it's all of these guys selected, I just held down the Shift key and clicked on the first one and then the last one to select all of these at once, just like I would in Bridge.
With all of them selected now, I can choose Create from this menu and that's going to open up the Create tab. So now with all of them selected, I could click on one of these buttons over here and maybe start a new project like a photo book, photo collage, photo gallery or like I mentioned before, a slideshow. Something else you can do is choose Share. That takes you to the Share tab and you can also chose Slide Show from here. All right, so different ways to do things. Sometimes, they place commands like that and places that are easier for you to grab, something a little quicker over here.
So what we learned in this movie is how we can use the Project bin in order to work with multiple files that we have open in order to duplicate them, rotate them, select the one that we want to bring at the forefront and focus on as we're editing. We also learned that we don't always have to have the Project bin open. We can close it when we want to focus on just the image that we're applying adjustments to. 5.41]

New Jersey ASCs Look to Partner, Be Acquired as Out-of-Network Reimbursement Disappears
According to Larry Trenk, market president of USPI and president of the New Jersey Association of Ambulatory Surgery Centers, surgery centers have historically profited from an out-of-network strategy, meaning they don't negotiate commercial contracts with insurers and instead bill their fees directly to the payor. But pressure from payors – including threats to the professional contracts of physicians who bring their cases to surgery centers, and incentives for patients to choose in-network facilities – has made contract negotiation more attractive.
USPI has worked with Meridian Health in Monmouth and Ocean counties in New Jersey, building or acquiring six ASCs over 13 years.
Hospitals are also looking to acquire ambulatory surgery centers, as they seek market share in the midst of healthcare reform implementation. The advent of ACOs means that hospitals will be seeking high-quality, low-cost providers to keep expenses down, and ASCs could present an opportunity.
Joseph A. Trufino, president and CEO of the Atlantic Health System, told NJBiz that hospitals are acquiring surgery centers to coordinate care between providers and establish a dedicated base of patients.

(Sacramento, CA, USA: July 31, 2013) – The Linux Professional Institute (LPI), the world's premier Linux certification organization, announced a Corporate Membership Program for partner organizations interested in promoting growth opportunities in Linux and Open Source Software. The program enables partner organizations to directly develop and recruit Linux and Open Source talent through targeted multi-media, product promotions and other educational resources provided to LPI alumni and other Open Source professionals. Organizations such as Cloudera (http://www.cloudera.com), Dice (http://www.dice.com), Medialinx IT-Academy (http://www.medialinx-academy.de), oDesk (http://www.oDesk.com), Open Source Software Institute (http://oss-institute.org), Rackspace (http://www.rackspace.com) and uCertify (http://www.ucertify.com) have recently joined this new initiative.
"LPI is the market leader in Linux Certification having delivered over 350,000 exams worldwide with 125,000+ LPI certified professionals. We maintain a global framework of offices to support Open Source adoption through 25 Master Affiliates and 350 global training partners. As such, LPI is in an ideal position to promote like-minded businesses and organizations who share our commitment to the further advancement of Linux and Open Source Software. This technology is driving growth in IT careers and innovation and we welcome all partners who embrace the ideals of co-operation and mutual effort in continuing this momentum," said Jim Lacey, president and CEO of LPI.
The Corporate Membership program has a number of features including product promotions, services to recruit IT professionals, executive webinars and panels, access to global marketing channels, and networking opportunities with leaders and experts in Open Source technology. Please note that at present, the Corporate Membership Program is only available in the North American Region (US and Canada), but other global regions will be added as interest and participation grows.
For more information: http://www.lpi.org/partnerships/corporate-membership
Recent members of LPI's Corporate Membership program had the following to say about the new program and their work with LPI:
"At Cloudera, we're focused on building a data platform around open standards and 100% open-source technology. Linux really paved the way for Hadoop in proving the value of open standards and open source. Similarly, LPI has been at the forefront of the certification space, proving out the value of certification to the open-source community and driving demand in the market for IT professionals certified on these technologies. Partnering with LPI gives Cloudera the opportunity to communicate its message and value proposition to a well-established, global, and receptive audience," said Brad Johnson, Certification Manager, Cloudera.
Medialinx IT Academy:
"The LPIC preparation courses form the core of our online training portfolio. We are delighted to become an LPI Corporate Member and to take the opportunity to develop the Linux training market further in cooperation with LPI and all the other partners," said Hans-Jörg Ehren, Manager, Events & Learning, Medialinx IT-Academy
"oDesk is excited to partner with LPI in order to continue driving growth in the Open Source community," said Matt Gniadek, oDesk Head of Business Development. "Our partnership helps businesses make better hiring decisions by connecting them with certified professionals on oDesk. For these professionals, their certifications help them stand out when applying to the thousands of Open Source jobs available on our platform."
Open Source Software Institute:
"One of the greatest benefits of open source software is the user's right to access and manage the code base," said Carl Livesay, Chief Operating Officer of the Open Source Software Institute. "Without a competent, well trained workforce, this value is not only lost but can become a liability for those implementing or managing technology systems."
"The Open Source Software Institute focuses on promoting the use of open source software within Federal government and Defense systems. Solid training and certification of administrative staff, such as LPI offers, is critical within this market," Livesay said. "This is one of the reasons why we are partnered with the Linux Professional Institute."
"Rackspace is looking forward to collaborating with LPI to enrich the Open Source community, which is helping to set the pace of innovation within the cloud computing market. As the founder of OpenStack, Rackspace has a shared emphasis on open source technology and we see an opportunity to initiate talent growth in this area by aligning efforts with LPI's thriving and expanding community," said Tony Campbell, Director of Training and Certification, Rackspace.
"We at uCertify are very excited about this partnership. uCertify's course and test delivery platform fits very well with LPI's mission. We are looking forward to working with LPI, its master affiliates and global training partners," said Manish Gupta, CEO, uCertify.
The Linux Professional Institute is globally supported by the IT industry, enterprise customers, community professionals, government entities and the educational community. LPI's certification program is supported by an affiliate network spanning five continents and is distributed worldwide in multiple languages at more than 5,000 testing locations. Since 1999, LPI has delivered over 350,000+ exams and 125,000+ LPIC certifications around the world.

Former Tuscaloosa County deputy sheriff commits suicide after double murder, police say
Published: Sunday, October 20, 2013 at 12:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, October 20, 2013 at 12:59 p.m.
Authorities are investigating an early Sunday morning double murder-suicide involving a former Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's deputy.
Police, as of Sunday afternoon, have not disclosed the names of the suspect or victims.
Tuscaloosa County Metro Homicide Unit Commander Sgt. Dale Phillips said investigators believe the former deputy confronted his wife and her companion, another man, at that man's residence.
The former deputy then chased the two in his vehicle, possibly firing shots, and rammed their truck into a ditch off Sylvan Loop Road in Fosters, Phillips said.
After looking into the ditch and seeing both the man and his wife were dead, the former deputy shot himself in the head with a handgun, Phillips said.
The former deputy, 52, left the department in 1997 for a job outside law enforcement. His name and the names of the victims, a 51-year-old woman and a 52-year-old man, will be released after family members are notified, Phillips said.

Megan Dodds
this wiki
Megan Dodds (born February 15, 1970) spent two years in Broadway and Off Broadway productions, before being spotted by British comedian Ben Elton, and came to London in 1997 to play a bunny girl in Elton's play Popcorn. As a result of meeting her photographer husband Oliver Pearce, she became a resident in London: "I love it here, I really feel like I learn a lot. There's a lot of variety in terms of work." She has appeared in television shows such as Love in a Cold Climate, the BBC One series Spooks, and Viva Blackpool. Her stage roles have included As You Like It in 1999 and Up for Grabs in 2006.
Dodds won the London Theatregoers' Choice Award for Best Actress in the one woman show My Name is Rachel Corrie. The show opened at the Royal Court Theatre in London, but a planned transfer to the New York Theatre Workshop was cancelled, with rumors of the theater being afraid of the show's Gaza Strip-based political content. Dodds fought against the imposed indefinite delay, and the debate of censorship on such a sensitive issue at the time of the post-Iraq war debate became publicised by the New York Times. After a successful run in London's West End, the show eventually played to a sellout audience at the off-Broadway Minetta Lane Theatre in early 2006.
In 2006, Dodds joined the cast of the British sitcom Not Going Out as Kate, but she left the show after the first series. Her best known film role is perhaps the spoiled and selfish stepsister Marguerite in the 1998 romance film Ever After

The colder weather is no match for this seafood-inspired risotto recipe. Named one of the top recipes on our site, this dish is a beloved classic to add to your recipe box!
Rinse the shrimp shells in cold water. Heat broth and reserved shrimp shells in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Discard shells. Keep the broth at a simmer over medium-low heat.
Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in rice and cook until each grain is coated in oil and become translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and wine to the rice. Cook, stirring, until the wine has completely absorbed. Using a ladle, add 3/4 cup of hot broth to the rice. Continue to stir until the rice has absorbed most of the liquid. One mixture is thick enough to leave a clear wake behind the spoon when stirring, add another 3/4 cup broth. Continue adding broth in this manner, stirring constantly, until all the broth has been used, the grains are al dente in the center and suspended in a liquid that resembles heavy cream, about 18 minutes.
Meanwhile, about 10 minutes after the risotto begins to cook, prepare the shrimp and scallops. In a large skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add garlic clove and cook until lightly browned. Discard garlic. Add the shrimp and the scallops and cook until heated through. Shrimp should be pink and scallops lightly browned on both sides, about 4 minutes. Transfer shrimp and scallops to a plate and cover with foil.
Pour the remaining contents of the skillet (flavorful oil included) into the risotto, and mix well. Stir in butter and most of parsley. Combine until butter melts. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper.
Serve immediately topped with seafood and garnished with parsley.
Serves 6
