Today, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and United States Secretary of State John Kerry announced that the United Nations Representative in Jerusalem, Special Coordinator Robert Serry, has received assurances that all parties have agreed to an unconditional humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza. Secretary Kerry made the announcement during his trip to India, where he delivered remarks to the press. Secretary Kerry said:
"...This morning, Israel and the Palestinian factions have agreed that they are now prepared to implement a 72-hour unconditional humanitarian ceasefire. So starting later this morning at 8:00 August 1st, the parties are expected to cease all offensive military activities, and neither side will advance beyond its current locations. They will stay where they are in place. Israel will be able to continue its defensive operations for those tunnels that are behind its lines, and the Palestinians will be able to receive food, medicine, and additional humanitarian assistance, as well as to be able to tend to their wounded, bury their dead, be able to in safe areas travel to their homes, and take advantage of the absence -- hopefully, hopefully -- of violence for these 72 hours.
"Then, as soon as the ceasefire is underway tomorrow morning -- I talked to the Egyptian foreign minister tonight -- Egypt will issue invitations to the parties to come to Cairo immediately in order to engage in serious and focused negotiations with Egypt to address the underlying causes of this conflict. And we hope and we expect both sides to raise all the topics of concern. The parties, obviously, need to find a way to address Israel's security concerns and to ensure that the people of Gaza can live in safety and in dignity. And for our part, the United States will be sending a small delegation to Cairo to assist and take part in these negotiations.
"As I said, this will last for 72 hours -- three days -- precious time. It is a lull of opportunity, a moment for the sides and the different factions to be able to come together with the state of Israel in an effort to try to address ways to find a sustainable ceasefire and then, obviously, ultimately, over a longer period of time, address the underlying issues. Let me also add that tomorrow morning the United States will also join in the effort to provide humanitarian assistance. President Obama has made available some $47 million to help ensure that some of the relief is able to come in, and many of our international partners have also made commitments over the course of the last weeks.
"Now, obviously, while we are grateful that the violence and the bloodshed has the opportunity to stop for more than 24 hours, it is up to the parties -- all of them -- to take advantage of this moment. There are no guarantees. This is a difficult, complicated issue, years and years in the building, and I think everyone knows it has not been easy to get to this point. And everyone knows that it will not be easy even to get beyond this point, but it is imperative that people make the best effort to try to find common ground and do so.
"A lot of folks have been working hard at this effort. I want to thank Prime Minister Netanyahu, who I know wants to see the people of Israel live in security, free from rockets, free from attacks from tunnels. And I know he has worked hard at this. We've had many phone calls, sometimes in the middle of the night, and I'm pleased that he thought this moment was an appropriate one to embrace this effort, this ceasefire. I want to thank UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Special Coordinator Serry for their continuous efforts to try to help create a framework as well as the call for a ceasefire, and helping to galvanize the international community. And I'm grateful also to President al-Sisi and to Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry, who has been consistently on the phone working this, and Egypt will host these talks. And this effort is built on the original Egyptian initiative that began the talk of a ceasefire. So Palestinian President Abbas has been consistently working behind the scenes, sending his emissaries to various places to work effectively, and I appreciate his leadership in this effort.
"Now, I want to re-emphasize: This is not a time for congratulations and joy, or anything except a serious determination, a focus by everybody to try to figure out the road ahead. This is a respite. It's a moment of opportunity, not an end; it's not a solution. It's the opportunity to find the solution. And President Obama hopes that all the parties will work diligently to do so. From the moment the President asked me to travel some 12 days or so ago, the President has been consistently on the phone, tracking this, talking with the prime minister and others in an effort to help to move us to this place.
"But we have to understand: Both parties have -- all the people involved in this have strong demands and strong visions about what the future should look like. Israel has to be able to live in peace and security, without terror attacks, without rockets, without tunnels, without sirens going off in the day. And Palestinians need to be able to live with the opportunity to educate their children and move freely and share in the rest of the world, and to lead a life that is different from the one they have long suffered. So we hope that this moment of opportunity will be grabbed by the parties, but no one can force them to do that, obviously.
"So we come at it with sober reflection about the lives lost and the violence suffered; the soldiers killed, the individuals killed; the three kids who were kidnapped and murdered in the beginning of this, and then a retribution killing. There's been too much of it for most people's judgment here, and our hope is that reason could possibly prevail to find the road forward."

I am totally disappointed with the U.S. blind support of Israel. Israel's war on Gaza resulted in over 1000 civilian deaths. I would like to know why is Israel targeting civilians and we are turning a blind eye to it? Do you not think that if Hamas was launching missiles from civilian areas that someone from the ones that had their housed destroyed would have complained about Hamas using civilian areas to launch missiles? The United Nations did not accuse Hamas of doing that. So, Mr. Secretary Kerry it is our responsibility to stop the Israeli madness. We provide Israel with weapons and we become responsible for these casualties. Sincerely, Maher Abunamous

I am frustrated with the failure of U.S policy in the region and the lack of support for Palestine. They have a right to fight for freedom. They would not need to resort to terrorism (media's term, not mine) if they were under the protection of the U.S.
August 1, 2014
Secretary of State John Kerry The UN needs to butt out of Israel's business. You need to stop following Obama's misguided program of supporting terrorists. Support our allies, not our enemy. It looks like Obama wants to support Hamas illegal immigration into Israel, just like he support south American illegal immigration into the U.S.

As a registered Democratic voter, I demand the immediate halt of the transfer of arms and money to Israel. Recall Ambassador Shapiro.

is gearing up for a massive legal battle against mobile phone
industry heavyweight Nokia. Nokia is the largest phone market in the
world while Apple has one of the most popular and profitable
smartphones in the world with its iPhone.The legal storm has
been brewing for months and Apple is gearing up by retaining some of
the best
IP lawyers in the country to fight Nokia. Bloomberg reports
that since 2008 Apple has been the most sued technology firm in the
world. The legal team Apple has put together has been responsible for
winning some of the biggest patent suits in the technology
sued Apple in October of 2009 alleging that Apple was
infringing on several of its patents. Apple filed a countersuit of
its own alleging the same thing. Apple claimed at the time the goal
in the Nokia suit was to get Apple to turn over proprietary
technology that sets the iPhone apart from the other smartphones on
the market. Nokia denies the charges.Attorney Lyle Vander
Schaaf, who has handled IP cases before the ITC before says, "These
are very well-known, deep-pocketed, high-end manufacturers. Usually
you have one 800-pound gorilla going after a new entrant. Here you've
got 800-pound gorillas fighting each other."In addition
to bringing in outside legal assets to fight the suit, Apple also has
a new in-house attorney that specializes in IP, Noreen Krall. Krall
was chief IP counsel for Sun Micrososystems and a staff IP attorney
for IBM in the past. The other legal assets Apple has called in
included Robert Krupa from Kirkland & Ellis. Krupa negotiated the
settlement between Apple and Creative Technology in 2005 that had
Apple pay $100 million to Creative.William Lee from
WilmerHale represented Broadcom Corp. in the legal fight against
Qualcomm is part of the team. Apple also has Matt Powers from Weil,
Gotshal, & Manges LLP that represented pharmaceutical giant Merck
& Co in a patent case over its drug Singulair. Most expect the
outcome of this suit to be a settlement between Apple and Nokia to
license each other's tech. Rob Enderle from Enderle Group said, "It's
[the legal battle] going to get a lot worse before it gets better."

Palo Duro junior Elton Anthony has been wanting to shine during a game all season.
Consider the job done after Friday night.
Anthony sparked a wild final 13 minutes of football, leading desperate Palo Duro to a 38-21 District 3-4A win over feisty Dumas before a smallish crowd of 800 fans in the cold at Dick Bivins Stadium.
"We knew if we didn't win this one," Anthony said, "we wouldn't have a chance for the playoffs."
The Dons moved to 1-2 in 3-4A by scoring 28 of their 38 points over the final 13 minutes, with that scoring spree sparked by two Anthony plays that denied Dumas the upset bid.
Dumas had taken a 14-10 lead with 16.9 seconds remaining in the third quarter when Demons quarterback Rylan Gerber pushed in from 1-yard out.
Dumas had trailed 10-0 at half, but behind the arm of Gerber and receiver Nathan Thomas — he caught 11 passes for 150 yards and a 42-yard TD in the third period — had scored a pair of unanswered touchdowns in the third period.
However, the offensive play following Gerber's touchdown, Palo Duro's fortunes changed thanks to the alert Anthony.
PD junior quarterback Malik Sims, who gave Dumas fits throwing for 173 yards and running for 65 yards, threw a pass over the middle that was deflected by a Dumas defender.
Anthony somehow caught the ball about the PD 30-yard line and hustled his way 83 yards for a touchdown giving the Dons a 16-14 lead quickly back with 3.1 seconds remaining in the third.
On the next Dumas possession, Anthony somehow stepped in front of a Gerber pass making an acrobatic interception at the 38-yard line.
Nine plays later, PD's workhorse running back Antaun Turner — who carried 22 times for 139 yards — scored from two yards out putting PD ahead 24-14 with 7:57 to play.
"I had to show it was my time to shine for the team," Anthony said. "I haven't had a chance to do that much. It's not about me, it's about the team."
While things got crazy the final eight minutes with three more touchdowns scored, Anthony's plays turned the game PD's way.
"Elton made two big, big plays and sparked us," Parr said. "We were very flat. We missed opportunities and turned the ball over. When you get behind you get that feeling in your stomach. But we were able to turn it around."
Palo Duro finished with 442 yards of offense with Tunrer scoring twice and Charleston White adding a 34-yard scoring run in the fourth.
After opening with 3-4A losses to Amarillo High and Randall, Palo Diro's playoff hopes are definitely alive with two district games remaining.
Dumas also remains in the playoff hunt at 1-2.
Demons quarterback Gerber racked up 307 yards passing completing 20-of-44 attempts for two touchdowns.
"This is a disheartening to lose," said Dumas coach Mike Burt. "But I/m proud of our effort. We hung in there and then Palo Duro's studs and their ability took over."
No arguing one of those PD "studs" was Elton Anthony.

Gov. Tom Corbett said the state budget plan he'll present to lawmakers next month will contain an additional $50 million to improve programs for senior citizens.
At a news conference at a senior center in Hershey on Thursday, Corbett said the money will come from an increase in Pennsylvania Lottery revenue that's expected from a British company's takeover of lottery management.
The money, Corbett said, will allow more seniors to receive in-home services and shrink the waiting list of seniors who need services to remain in their homes.
"Our state's fast-growing population of seniors demands that we act now to ensure the continued strength and viability of programs supporting older Pennsylvanians,"
Corbett said. "This is about providing for and protecting seniors, and nothing else."
Corbett's administration has finalized a 20-year contract to hire British lottery operator Camelot Global Services to manage the state-owned lottery.
The additional $50 million in the upcoming budget proposal, Corbett said, will include $21 million for the aging waiver program, which provides in-home service to 28,000 seniors over age 60 who are clinically and financially vulnerable; and $20 million for the OPTIONS program, which provides care management, home-delivered meals and in-home services for individuals age 60 and older.
Camelot said it plans to achieve the higher profit levels by expanding the player base in Pennsylvania through marketing changes, retail expansion, enhancement of
the retail experience and exploration of a rebalanced lottery game product portfolio.
"The Pennsylvania Lottery is one of the best lotteries in the country, without a doubt," Corbett said. "We've come up with a win-win scenario where we combine one of the nation's best lotteries with one of the best private-sector lottery industry experts in the world to grow and protect Lottery profits for decades to come."
Democrats have criticized Corbett's deal with Camelot, saying it will divert hundreds of millions of dollars away from senior services.
The attorney general's office received the paperwork Wednesday night and has 30 days to review its form and legality.

RICHLAND, MI – After a night of severe storms, the 40th annual Richland Art Fair is a bright way to start the weekend.
More than 80 artists and vendors set up booths and tents at the Richland Village Square from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. The fair features a mixture of fine art and sculptures to clothing and jewelry.
"There is still something for everybody," said Lynne Chipman, co-chair of the 20-member Gull Lake Area Community Volunteers, organizers of the fair. "We have fewer booths this year as we try to move more towards fine art."
Emily Greer, ch-chair of GLACV, said many people started to show up early to shop and beat later crowds. Chipman has served as past president and secretary, while Greer served as treasurer.
Friends Karen VanDyke and Sandy Brizendine came early to beat the crowd.
"There are always nice booths, and the selection is better earlier," VanDyke said.
Gull Lake High School sophomore Miquela Burke-Ballen's original
piece was used as the backdrop for the 2013 promotional items. Burke-Ballen's
artwork is one of many designs and paintings that came from a Gull Lake
art-class competition.
The rest of the submissions are hanged in a tent adjacent to the raffle and free temporary tattoo booths across from the main stage.
Margaret Russell is a sculptor whose work is in a tent in the center of the Richland Village Square. Her works include flowers, birds, and abstracts made from found items.
"Most of what I find is form manufacturing and tool items," Russell said. "I use a lot of repeated shapes, and have a whole stack of pieces to just start looking at them, and put it all together."
One of her pieces, a hanging sculpture of a bird, started from pliers handles used to make the duck's bill.
Sophia Cohen, 17, whose dad played in the early-morning blues band Blue Haze, walked through the festival with her friend Jacob Baize, 18.
"We've just been seeing what every tent has," Baize said.
Jim and Jo Cook came down from Fremont for their seventh year as festival vendors. Jim makes copper sprinklers and wind sculptures.
"I think the concept has been around for a while, but all of our designs have evolved over the years," Jim said. "It's a functional piece of art. It looks good and works, which gives us two opportunities to sell them."
"We make a couple new designs every year," Jo said. "We used to go to the Ann Arbor art show at the same time every year, but now this is the one we come down to."
Mary Ann Mitchell's canopy was torn down during the overnight storms, but it did not deter her from having one of the most colorful setups of the festival. Mitchell is a broker of simple, yet vibrant paintings, for her friend in Tanzania, Africa.
"My friend went to Tanzania for Pfizer, but stayed for love and ended up getting married," Mitchell said. "We entered into a partnership where she shops and I market.
"Normally you have to be the artist to get a spot here, and when I asked (the organizers) they said sorry, but no. Then they saw what I had to offer and told me I could. It is something different, but this is all that I have left."
The paintings are made from sheet cloth and bicycle paint. According to Mitchell it is about six hours for her friend to drive over rough terrain to where the artist cooperative is located. The artists have been paid directly in Africa and then were shipped to Kalamazoo.
"But if it's during the rainy season, forget it," Mitchell said.

Best-selling author and TV co-host Ray Comfort has a new movie out he says will shake the foundations of Darwinian belief.
The movie is called "Evolution vs. God: Shaking the Foundations of Faith." Comfort said he believes the film brings to the forefront the one question scientist don't want to hear, "Is there observable evidence to support the perspective of Darwinian evolution?"
The proponent of Intelligent Design said the film will disprove Darwinian evolution.
According to Christian News Service, one reviewer said, "Absolutely devastating if it were a boxing match, the referee would have stopped the interviews with all of those people, including the professors."
Another viewer remarked, "Wow!!! I got goose bumps watching."
What makes this film different? Comfort doesn't interview one Creationism expert; he exclusively uses comments by scientists who believe in evolution.
Comfort spoke with CBN News about his new film, and how it challenges the very foundations of evolution, on CBN Newswatch, June 10.

Don't let it get away!
Keep track of the stocks that matter to you.
Help yourself with the Fool's FREE and easy new watchlist service today.
The bullishness continues; today the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI ) rose for the fourth straight day this week, rising 46 points, or 0.33%, to close at 13,825. Good news came from the Labor Department, as new jobless claims fell by 5,000 to 300,000. Wall Street was not only pleased with that, but doubly pleased that last week's jobless numbers were not revised upwards, as they frequently are.
Cisco Systems (NASDAQ: CSCO ) was the index's top gainer today, adding 1.9%. The company bought a small stake in a Seattle-based software company called Parallels, as well as getting a spot on the company's board. Value-oriented investors may also be taking note of Cisco's 2.7% dividend yield and its 13.6 P/E ratio, which don't look too shabby, either.
Aerospace and defense giant Boeing (NYSE: BA ) was the second largest leader in the blue-chip index today, advancing 1.4%. Boeing has been plagued in recent weeks with problems resulting from its new Dreamliner 787 model. The National Transportation and Safety Board announced today that it hadn't yet figured out the cause of the battery problems, giving investors hope that it may not have been something too ominous or systematic.
Alcoa (NYSE: AA ) was today's top Dow laggard, although there didn't seem to be many definitive downside catalysts. Oil traded higher today, which could have been behind the 1.2% decline in Alcoa's stock. Higher oil prices can put tremendous pressure on Alcoa's operations.
And then there was Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX ) . The online movie streaming company isn't in the Dow, but it sure got the market's attention today. Its stock rose an incredible 42.2% -- its best day ever -- a day after the company announced a blowout quarter where subscriber gains were much higher than expected. On top of that, the company made money when analysts had expected small losses, and CEO Reed Hastings issued guidance far above what most had been expecting. In short, Netflix did everything you would expect a 42% gainer to do.
The precipitous drop in Netflix shares since the summer of 2011 has caused many shareholders to lose hope. While the company's first-mover status is often viewed as a competitive advantage, the opportunities in streaming media have brought some new, deep-pocketed rivals looking for their piece of a growing pie. Can Netflix fend off this burgeoning competition, and will its international growth aspirations really pay off? These are must-know issues for investors, which is why we've released a brand-new premium report on Netflix. Inside, you'll learn about the key opportunities and risks facing the company, as well as reasons to buy or sell the stock. We're also offering a full year of updates as key news hits, so make sure to click here and claim a copy today.

This is a funny video of my then 2-year-old son Logan, who out of nowhere decided to check his own diaper. Not so funny for ME at the time, but looking back it's hilarious.
sorry I shot this video sideways and I don't know how to rotate it, but it is still funny. My son was potty training and he had an accident and was very embarassed about it. He disappeared and we found him in the bathroom with the door shut!

'Doctor Who' comes to BBC America
BBC America has acquired the first-run rights to five new "Doctor Who" specials, including the installments that will conclude David Tennant's run as Doctor.
The deal ends a four-season "Doctor Who" run on Sci Fi Channel and reunites "Doctor Who" with its spinoff, BBC America's popular "Torchwood."
Up first will be "The Next Doctor," the franchise's 2008 Christmas Special, which starred David Morrissey and Dervla Kirwan. It will air on Saturday, June 27, 2009.
In July, the first of the 2009 specials, "Doctor Who: Planet of the Dead," will premiere, featuring Tennant along with Michelle Ryan as Lady Christina. The second 2009 special, "Doctor Who: The Waters of Mars," plus the year's next two specials, will air later in 2009 and then in 2010. Those four 2009 specials will end Tennant's popular Doctor tenure.
"The outstanding quality of the 'Doctor Who' scripts from Russell T Davies and the on-screen dynamic that David Tennant brings to the role are a magic combination for our viewers," says BBC America President Garth Ancier. "Russell's spin-off series 'Torchwood' is already our highest rated show on the channel and I know the fans will follow these new specials with equal passion and support. We're thrilled to bring this iconic show to BBC America, home of the best British sci-fi programming on television."
Writer-producer Steven Moffat has already begun work on a new "Doctor Who" incarnation, featuring Matt Smith as the new Doctor.

Richard W. Couper, son of Esther W. and Edgar Williams Couper, President Emeritus of the New York Public Library and of the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, died Wednesday, Jan. 25, 2006.
From 1971-1981 Couper served as the first full time Chief Executive Officer of the New York Public Library. Despite the difficult economy of the 1970s, particularly as it affected New York City, working with colleagues and trustees Couper succeeded in a number of advances for the Library. Among them:
In the more halcyon days of the 1980s, while President of the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, again working with colleagues and trustees, Couper inaugurated a series of new programs all revolving about encouraging good students to become teachers and teachers to become better teachers.
Born in Binghamton, New York, Couper attended Binghamton schools and entered Hamilton College in 1940 as a member of the Class of 1944. He spent three and a half years in the military, served overseas, and was separated with the rank of Captain, Army of the United States. He returned to Hamilton and graduated in 1947 Phi Beta Kappa with honors in Greek and History. In 1948 he received an M.A. degree from Harvard with a concentration in American history.
Returning to Binghamton from 1948-1962 Couper was associated with the firm of Nelson Wadsworth and Alexander and its successor firm Couper Ackerman Sampson, Inc. In 1962 he responded to an invitation from his alma mater, Hamilton, to become its first administrative Vice President. Subsequently, he served as Vice President, Acting President, Provost and Vice President. In 1969 he became the first Deputy Commissioner of Higher Education of the New York Education Department.
During his lifetime Couper served as trustee or director of more than 60 organizations, profit and non-profit. These included banks, a life insurance company, publishing companies and mutual funds. Among his non-profit affiliations were trusteeship at Wesleyan University, trusteeship of the Episcopal Divinity School, and trusteeship of four foundations. He was a charter trustee of the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education. Also he was among the founding trustees of the Lincoln Center Institute, and of the New York Council on the Humanities. In 1959 he became a trustee at Hamilton where he was serving as a life trustee at the time of his death, his service being one of the longest in the history of the College.
His relationship to his alma mater was unique. He received both an A.B. and an LLD from Hamilton. Active as a young alumnus he served on the Alumni Council and chaired the Alumni Fund. In the 1960s he was an officer of the College and a member of the faculty. He received the Alexander Hamilton Medal, and in 2004 was designated Volunteer of the Year. Couper was the sixth generation of his family to attend Hamilton and 21 of his relatives graduated from the College. He chaired the first ever Long Range Planning Committee of the Board of Trustees; the report of that committee resulted in Kirkland College.
A lifelong Episcopalian, Couper served on vestries of his parish churches. Additionally, he was active in the national Episcopal Church as well as in the dioceses in which he lived.
Throughout his life Couper was an avid squash and tennis player. His essential devotion was to his family. In September 1946 he married Patricia Pogue of Cincinnati, who survives him, as does a sister, Katharine Watrous. Also surviving are three children, Frederick, Thomas, and Margaret, plus four grandchildren. A son, Barrett, predeceased him.

Rejecting the Marie Antoinette Paradigm of Prejudgment Interest

Brandeis Law Journal, Vol. 43, p. 1, 2004
U of Missouri-Columbia School of Law Legal Studies Research Paper No. 2006-01

This paper examines principles for properly computing prejudgment interest by examining the impact on different corporate constituencies. This paper concludes that prejudgment interest at a promisor's cost of funds can undercompensate promisees, by shifting value from the promisee's equityholders to its creditors through a forced investment that decreases the risk of the promisee's portfolio of assets.

Fujitsu Transaction Solutions Inc. has received an order from STAPLES Business Depot to equip four additional stores with AbsoluteSKY's intelliTRACKER Product Suite in early 2008.
STAPLES' decision follows a highly successful installation of the automated, long-range inventory tracking system by the Fujitsu/AbsoluteSKY team in May 2007 that has continued to reliably produce significant results.
"We tested the system on 1,500 SKUs in one store and we are expanding the project to additional stores," said Joe Soares, the director of process engineering for Staples Canada and Business Depot. "The results have been so impressive that we want to validate that they can be replicated throughout the chain."
Soares added that the intelliTRACKER system continuously delivered a 100 percent accurate read-rate and delivered a 21 percent reduction in out-of-stocks for the items that were tracked in a solid closed-loop. His team also concluded that the cost-per-use of the reusable RFID-enabled intelliTAGs over a five-year lifespan was barely eight cents.
Fujitsu and AbsoluteSKY formed their strategic relationship during 2006 to attack the ever-elusive goal of retailers of "getting the right product, to the right place, at the right time." The feature-rich intelliTRACKER Product Suite, introduced in 2007, accurately tracks inventory to the item level in real-time while providing an extensive range of customer benefits that includes: increased inventory turns, virtual elimination of missed sales as a result of out-of-stocks and extensive control over loss prevention.
"This project has accomplished everything we set out to do," remarked Peter Sciberras, general manager and vice president of sales, Canada, Fujitsu Transaction Solutions. "The system met all the performance markers for our customer and did so against a very compelling ROI. STAPLES commitment to expand its RFID project demonstrates the value of RFID technology for the retail industry."
"We've been exceptionally fortunate to work with such an innovative retailer as STAPLES in introducing our solution and are truly excited at what lies ahead for all involved," added John Frabasile, president and CEO of AbsoluteSKY.

As city officials attempt to iron out next year's budget amid shrinking revenue projections, the Civil Service Commission has yet to deal with a request from Mayor Mitch Landrieu to amend the controversial "bumping rule."
The commission has postponed a vote on the matter twice, and it doesn't appear poised to take it up when it meets today, despite the potential impact it could have if Landrieu proposes laying off city employees. The mayor is scheduled to present his 2012 budget proposal to the City Council next month.
The current policy allows workers who are laid off to "bump" employees in similar jobs -- but with less seniority -- anywhere in city government, as long as they have the same job performance rating. Landrieu, however, wants to limit bumping to jobs within the same department.
With health care premiums and other costs rising, department directors in many cases have been instructed to shave significant spending from their bottom lines in 2012.
That task could involve personnel cuts, according to Landrieu's top aide, Andy Kopplin. Kopplin has called the current bumping policy "wasteful and inefficient" because it guarantees a senior worker a job in an unfamiliar department while displacing an experienced employee.
"The most important issue for us is not whether there's an isolated bumping rule," he said last week. "The issue is whether or not you can reorganize a department and job descriptions to match the reality of where we want to go."
Meanwhile, the reason for the commission's delay in taking up the issue is a matter of debate in itself. Kopplin said the topic remains tabled because mayoral staffers and city employees are trying to hammer out a compromise.
"The good news is that we've been having a lot of negotiations with the staff, and so we're trying to arrive at a consensus that both of us could support," Kopplin said.
"That was the instruction that the commissioners gave their staff was to work with us and other interested organizations, and we've had a couple of meetings and we'll continue to work on that," he said.
But Personnel Director Lisa Hudson, the top bureaucrat working for the commission, said no such discussions have occurred.
"I wouldn't necessarily describe it that way," she said. "(Kopplin) kind of mentioned to me that he would like to enter negotiations with us on the bumping rule, but I told him I would have to check with our commissioners on that."
Hudson added that rank-and-file workers outside her department also want to engage with the administration.
"I think there's some concern from the employees that they were told they would actually be part of those conversations, so I need to figure that out," Hudson said.
A vote on the mayor's proposal, which has stirred controversy among employees concerned it could pave the way for mass firings, was initially set for June 8 but was postponed by Kopplin, who said he wanted time to allay employees' fears.
The commission again deferred the issue at its June 30 meeting after employees spent two hours lambasting the mayor's plan. Officials said they would revisit the matter as soon as this month.

In this strange new world where more and more power is drawn from business technology, companies are effectively straddling two paths on the road to innovation and transformation into digital enterprises. The first path is the heritage trail – with "legacy" technology forming the background. Here, extant technologies are transformed by core IT teams to provide more API-driven approaches. Legacy systems can restrict companies that are transitioning into digital enterprises. To truly become a lea...

Just over a week ago I received a long and loud sustained applause for a presentation I delivered at this year's Cloud Expo in Santa Clara. I was extremely pleased with the turnout and had some very good conversations with many of the attendees. Over the next few days I had many more meaningful conversations and was not only happy with the results but also learned a few new things. Here is everything I learned in those three days distilled into three short points.

There are several IoTs: the Industrial Internet, Consumer Wearables, Wearables and Healthcare, Supply Chains, and the movement toward Smart Grids, Cities, Regions, and Nations.

Major trends and emerging technologies – from virtual reality and IoT, to Big Data and algorithms – are helping organizations innovate in the digital era. However, to create real business value, IT must think beyond the 'what' of digital transformation to the 'how' to harness emerging trends, innovation and disruption. Architecture is the key that underpins and ties all these efforts together. In the digital age, it's important to invest in architecture, extend the enterprise footprint to the cl...

Have holes in your jeans? Learn about patching a knee with this sewing tutorial! Give those old jeans some new life with just a bit of sewing.

- Iron-on Patches
- Cookie Cutter
- Sharpie
- Scrap of fabric
- Wonder Under
- Sewing supplies
- I traced around the butterfly on the back side of my patch using a Sharpie. This may shock a few of you, but I tried pencil, and a Mark B Gone pen and they just didn't show up. The Sharpie worked great, I was just careful to cut inside the line of black. You could use a white fabric marking pencil, but I couldn't find mine. -Do what you can with what you have, I guess.
- I also cut out a flower for a different pair. This one I embellished with another fabric too.
- I had a scrap of fabric with a perfect flower.
- I used a small bit of Wonder Under on the back side of my chosen flower. Iron it on.
- Then cut around the flower. The Wonder Under isn't strictly necessary for a piece this small. It's peace of mind that it won't fall off. Peel off the paper backing…
- DON'T try to iron it onto your patch yet! Your patch will get sticky on the back, and be stuck to your ironing board. (No, I didn't do that… but I wouldn't put it past me.)
- Stitch your embellishment onto your cut patch using a blanket stitch or a zigzag.
- Now you can iron the whole thing over the hole in your jeans.
- I rolled the jeans up, to make the sewing easier. Also just like Amy, I used a heavier weight- DMC thread, a heavy needle…
- ...and a thimble to stitch around the flower. I kept my needle working from the top as shown. It's a little tough to sew through the denims, but not too bad.

Five dream family holiday resorts
Not so long ago, a luxurious beach holiday was unachievable with children in tow. These days, however, many luxury resorts welcome families with open arms. With family rooms and suites, children's dining and staff on hand to help, a luxury holiday with kids can actually be relaxing too. With spacious accommodation, calming infinity pools and spas, white sandy beaches, fine dining and family activities, we've chosen five luxury resorts which will provide you and the children with the ultimate escape.
Clicking on the links will take you to the listings on our site.
Jumby Bay Resort, St John's, Antigua and Barbuda
Relax on a 300 acre privately owned island two miles from the coast of Antigua. The resort is only accessible by boat which creates an element fun for children. There are a range of luxury spacious rooms, suites and villas to choose from here and many of them have their own private terrace or garden. Facilities include three restaurants, infinity pool and long stretches of beautiful soft beach with a waiter service. The Rosebuds Kids Club has a range of activities for children including cooking, dance, learning about ocean sea life and playing at being pirates of the Caribbean.
Le Touessrok, Trou d'eau Douce, Mauritius
Justifiably described as 'Paradise', Le Touessrok enjoys a beautiful setting in the Indian Ocean. And you'll be able to see the ocean wherever you're staying as every room has a sea view! The luxurious rooms are very spacious and there are three restaurants to dine at in this resort. One of the main attractions is of course the expanse of white sandy beach, and if you ever get tired of that, the resort has a private island you can take a boat to relax on too. Children will be entertained in the kids club and can try their hand at watersports and even golf. There's a club for teens too and there's a crèche and babysitting service when you want to enjoy me time.
Vila Vita, Porches, Algarve, Portugal
Set on a cliff top among immaculate tropical gardens, Vila Vita is one of the most popular luxury family friendly resorts in Portugal's beautiful Algarve. You can choose from a suite or apartment and there are self catering apartments too. There are stunning views from the resort's location and a series of steps will take you down to a beautiful sandy and secluded cove. There's a shuttle service to a nearby public beach too. You can relax in the spa while the children enjoy the kids club and maybe learn how to play tennis too.
Anassa, Paphos, Cyprus
This exclusive hotel is located on a hilltop overlooking a beautiful sandy bay. There's a wide choice of rooms here to suit families and children are well looked after with children's menus, kids pool and kids club. The spa here is exceptionally good and is well known for its Roman style spa treatments. The golden beach is close by and you can choose from three types of cuisine: Mediterranean, Asian and Cypriot. There are a variety of kids clubs to suit different ages: from a crèche to adventures around the resort.
Borgo Egnazia, Savelletri di Fasano, Puglia, Italy
Enjoy the luxury of this resort among the olive groves and vineyards of Puglia on Italy's Adriatic Coast.

When my daughter — who just crossed over into teenager territory — asked me how many friends I had, I was reminded of how things have changed. Surely I have less friends, now that I am in my fourth decade. Yet by her definition I actually have more friends than ever. Just a second ago I confirmed that I was friends with someone who I didn't even know. Friendship is a wonderful thing. I plan to "un-friend" her just as I have "un-friended" many others who have entered my social network online and who, just like with my "real" friends, I really don't need to know that they're running to Starbucks to get a latte or that their dog just got his shots. By the way, I have been de-friended a few times online and it doesn't feel so good.
I am a communicator at heart, and as the publisher of PR News, I advocate for honest, open and intelligent dialogue with the public. But I am hearing from PR people that Facebook in particular has been both a blessing and curse. Corporate PR Directors are now friends with their direct reports. Agency heads are friending clients. A media relations director at a nonprofit told me she just defriended her whole staff on Facebook because she "just didn't want to see it all."
So, it's open for debate whether Facebook is good for us as business people. We know it's not good for (or to) nursing moms, yet we know it's fun and usually harmless to connect with old friends and classmates. And for industry colleagues, it's great to have them as friends now, since it's harder to connect in person these days.
But I would advise to think twice next time an employee of yours asks to be friends with you on Facebook. Your relationship will take on a different nuance. Which brings me back to my daughter who asked if I wanted to be "friends" with her on Facebook. We agreed that would not be a good idea, as I just don't want to know it all. But she did give me her password to check in on her time and again.
What has been your "work" experience with Facebook? It's time for some friendly discourse…

Cincinnati Bengals fans have former Oakland Raiders coach Hue Jackson to thank for the 17th overall pick on top of the franchise's own selection just four spots later in the 2012 NFL Draft. Mike Brown gains great leverage to mortgage one of the picks for more selections if the team chooses to take that route.
With that noted, most fans wouldn't support moving one of the first-round picks unless it is done for a pick that is still in the first round and gains the Bengals at least a third-round selection.
There are obviously superior prospects than these five players listed, but realistic scenarios are being presented.

Breast Cancer Health Center
Veggies, Exercise May Cut Cancer Risk
April 15, 2008 (San Diego) -- Regardless of age or ethnicity, women can significantly cut their risk of breast cancer by exercising just 30 minutes a week, a new study shows.
A second study suggests that the perks of eating your fruits and veggies may include a lower chance of developing lung cancer.
Cancer Videos
Related Slideshows
Foods rich in plant chemicals called isothiocyanates and quercetin appeared to offer the best protection against lung cancer, the study showed.
Isothiocyanates are found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, and turnips. Apples, grapes, onions, and broccoli are good sources of quercetin.
Both studies were presented here at the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research.
Exercise Wards Off Breast Cancer
The exercise study involved about 1,500 women with breast cancer. They were compared with nearly 5,000 women who didn't have breast cancer.
All the women filled out an extensive questionnaire that asked about their diet, smoking, and exercise habits.
Overall, women who engaged in recreational exercise 30 to 150 minutes per week were 50% less likely to have breast cancer than women who exercised less than a half hour per week.
African-American women benefited the most. They were about 70% less likely to have breast cancer if they exercised 30 to 150 minutes a week than if they exercised less.
But Hispanic-American, Tunisian-Arab, and Polish-Caucasian women all benefited as well, researcher Teresa Lehman, PhD, of BioServe Biotechnologies in Beltsville, Md., tells WebMD.
The findings held true regardless of whether a woman was premenopausal, perimenopausal, or postmenopausal, she adds.
Exercising more than 150 minutes per week did not confer additional benefit, she adds.
More Exercise May Be Better
The study showed that how long you exercise per workout session also significantly affects breast cancer risk.
Women who exercised 15 minutes or more per session were 40% less likely to have breast cancer, compared with women who exercised less than 15 minutes per session.
The analysis took into account a woman's age, race, and weight as well as how much she smoked in her lifetime -- all factors that can affect breast cancer risk.
