Following the recent Android Market overhaul, Google is continuing to push out some additional updates, as it's added extra app categories and the ability for AT&T users to bill purchases to their mobile accounts. The category refresh adds Sports to available game types, and does a dozen-odd changes to the list of different app flavors. Gone is Multimedia, replaced by the more specific Music & Audio and Media & Video. All-new categories include Education, Medical, Photography, and Transportation. While it's counter-productive to get TOO specific when creating a bunch of new categories, ...

Remember the mysterious "third tab" in the Android Market app as seen in the Gingerbread video from earlier today? Turns out it's a new recommended-app feature that is rolling out right now, in advance of Gingerbread. Users of various Android 2.2 devices have been reporting that the Android Market app has automatically updated itself on their phones to include the new tab. Exactly what it's labeled varies from device to device; sometimes it's "Similar", sometimes "Related". The new tab apparently offers suggestions of other apps you may be interested in, based on how they relate to the one ...

Winamp for Android is on its way out of beta, celebrating the graduation with the addition of support for Shoutcast MP3 streams and syncing with the PC edition of Winamp over WiFi. The Shoutcast add-on gives your smartphone access to any of the 40,000-some streams Nullsoft reports as available, adding to the mobile version of the media player a big part of what made the PC version so popular a decade ago. Nullsoft maintains charts of the most popular stations, grouping by genre to speed-up searches. The wireless PC syncing joins earlier wired sync support, letting you use Winamp on your PC ...

Sure, it's great when companies release versions of their apps across multiple platforms, but not every group has the resources to undertake such a development task. When it comes to making the decision as to which devices to support, Sony Ericsson thinks that the smart bet is Android, pointing to both the number of available developers and the platform's potential for global growth. Sony Ericsson makes its point quite convincingly: Android already has a global reach, with access to the Android Market continuing to expand as well. Of course it makes sense that if you want your app to be a ...

Three weeks ago Sling Media teased Windows Mobile fans with the forthcoming Windows Phone 7 version of its SlingPlayer Mobile video-streaming software, promising higher resolutions than it ever before delivered to a Windows handset. Today the app makes its Marketplace debut, available for nearly $30. When we took a look at the nearly-complete software we saw Sling taking full advantage of the processing power that will be standard for all Windows Phone 7 devices, letting the app display four times as many pixels as the old Windows Mobile version could. The Sling/Windows Mobile relationship ...

Microsoft has added a Windows Phone 7 app gallery to the Bing Visual Search library of structured data sets. Besides offering a convenient and visually pleasing manner in which to browse the Marketplace, the gallery allows the user to filter the full catalog of software -- updated daily -- by several different criteria, including category, sub-category, and price. This gives us the ability to tease out the fact that out of the 1,658 programs in the market at the time of writing, 483 are free, 753 cost 99 cents, and only 16 are over $10. Unsurprisingly, games are by far the most populated ...

Cocktail Flow has to be one of the most visually-rich applications for searching alcoholic drink recipes on any mobile platform - and it's coming to Windows Phone 7. What separates this cocktail app from others I've seen is the presence of a virtual stock cabinet. Simply tap on the ingredients (spirits, liqueur, mixers), which are represented with images, and the app will recommend drinks to make. As a bonus, it can offer advice on which additional items to buy in order to make even more drinks out of the contents in your cabinet. You can also search through a list of all cocktails, by ...

Two of the most popular app stores for jailbroken Apple products like the iPhone and iPad have announced an alliance, bringing together the catalogs of Cydia and Rock Your Phone after nearly two years of competition. According to both companies, Rock's entire catalog will be transferred over to Cydia's store, along with customer app licenses; users without a Cydia account will be asked to create one in order to access their Rock products. By combining their efforts instead of competing for customers and developers, the merged entity promises to eliminate duplicate processes and concentrate ...

Today is a federal holiday in the United States of America which commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. It's commonly referred to as "The Fourth of July", but I take exception to that term, it negates the history and meaning behind the holiday - it's real name is "Independence Day". With that in mind, check out my "Independence Day apps for Android" video. In it I'll cover nine apps and one Live Wallpaper in 12 minutes. Take a look!

Reader Zohner recently asked, "Are you aware of any porn filters for Android phones?" What a great question! A lot of what we'll cover applies to any phone, and potentially your home computer, but some of it is Android specific. Steve Jobs threw in his two bits when he was asked about whether or not Apple would allow app installations via any source other than iTunes. "There's a porn store for Android... you can download it, your kids can download it. That's a place we don't want to go, so we're not going to." (Hopefully you'll see why this is a ridiculous statement by the end of the ...

One of the things I've wanted from day one was a way to view all the Android apps in the Market on my desktop computer. At Google IO we were given a taste of what that might look like, and today you can do that -- almost. Head over to market.android.com to see what it looks like! In its current version, the web-based view of the Market will let you filter apps by featured, top paid, and top free apps. You can then select an app to view it's title, developer, description and a couple screen shots. What's still missing are user comments, the entire library of apps (only featured apps are ...

Back in 2008 it was reported that Google had a "remote kill switch" built in to the Android OS. "Google may discover a product that violates the developer distribution agreement in such an instance, Google retains the right to remotely remove those applications from your device at its sole discretion." We've never seen exactly what that means, until recently. In a blog post by Rich Cannings, Android Security Lead, the decision to forcefully remove two apps from phone was explained: "Every now and then, we remove applications from Android Market due to violations of our Android Market ...

Let's say you're browsing the Android Market and decide to go all-in and actually purchase an app. Most apps are free, but some cost money. Those that do are generally fairly inexpensive (less than US$10), but there are those that can get into some serious cash. Once the price of an app raises above your "pain threshold" you might be hesitant to make that purchase. I'm here to tell you, you needn't worry! Google's Market is unlike any I've seen before. You can buy an app, download and install it, and see if you like it (or make sure it works). If you don't, not a problem, within 24 hours ...

It has taken a few years, but Slide2Play has finally hit version 1.0. S2P is a popular music player alternative for Windows Phone and the latest version has undergone a number of changes - all of which can be viewed in the change log below. Unfortunately, it's no longer a free app and will now carry a charge of $3.99 on Windows Marketplace for mobile. Although it's now a paid app, this is a positive move for fans of the player because it will likely translate to more frequent bug fixes and updates. A_C, the developer of S2P and S2U2, certainly deserves a reward for all the hard work he's ...

Google Maps Navigation is arguably the biggest thing to hit GPS navigation since its inception. I use it pretty much where ever I go, not because I don't know how to get where I'm going, but because of dynamic re-routing and near-real-time traffic data. Combine these two and I can avoid congestion, accidents, and road hazards, and be directed through the side-streets with which I might be unfamiliar. One of the biggest complaints about Google Maps Navigation has been its lack of availability outside the United States. There are some hacks that allowed foreign access to Navigation, but the ...

Developers and users are reporting problems finding apps in the Android Market. Google is either unaware of the problem, or they aren't commenting about it. What's worse, this news comes on the heals of the recently announced iOS4 and iPhone 4. According to some developers, the Market is no longer displaying certain applications. It doesn't look like this is any kind of censorship or app filtering since the majority of the missing apps have been listed in the market previously without any complaints from Google. Additionally, the problem seems only to be present with recently updated ...

Spore, which was created by the genius behind the Sims series of games, has now evolved to another chapter in this sequel called Spore Creatures. In the previous game your Spore was stuck under the sea trying to defend itself while rising to the top of the food chain. In this new edition the Spores have come out of the water to find themselves on land. Like the computer game, after evolving your Spore to have legs and various defenses you are now capable of attacking other Spore Creatures while trekking over obstacles through the 12 new levels. Spore Creatures is $6.99 on Windows Mobile ...

A Guide to Choosing the Best Fly Rod for Beginners
Selecting the right fly rod will make learning to fly fish easier. It's also likely to enhance the beginner's enjoyment of fly-fishing. On the other hand, using the wrong rod to start out with can quickly crush a beginner's enthusiasm and interest in fly fishing.
There's a lot to consider when trying to choose the best fly rod for beginners. Fly rod length, weight and action must be correctly combined in a fly rod that's suitable for a fly-fisherman who's just starting out. The question of quality and brand and how much one should invest in a beginner's fly rod must also be considered.
The Best Fly Rod Length for Beginners
I would recommend that the novice fly-fisher buy an 8 foot 6 inch or 9 foot carbon-fibre rod. A rod of about this length is perfectly suited to most situations and will allow a beginner to fish a wide variety of different kinds of water, which is exactly what a beginner should try to do while building up fly-fishing abilities and gaining experience.
Fly Rod Weight Recommendations for Beginners
As for weight, I think a 6 weight rod is perfect. Experts with a great deal of experience generally prefer to use a 4 or 5 weight rod, because such rods are so light in the hand and allow great finesse in casting. However, a beginner fly-fisher should be focussing more on mastering the basics and not so much on enjoying the sport's finer points. A 6 weight outfit will be a bit more forgiving – that is, it will mask a learner's mistakes more readily than a lighter rod will.
But having said all that, the difference between a 5 and a 6 weight rod is in fact fairly minimal. Thus a novice who is really committed to developing into an expert angler might just as sensibly opt for a 5 weight rod instead of a 6 weight.
Fly Rod Action Guidelines for Beginners
I believe that a beginner fly angler should go for a medium action rod. Fast action rods are really for the expert who wants to make long casts without losing too much accuracy. Beginner anglers should concentrate on casting only short distances.
If you are a beginner and you try to cast big distances, you are bound to end up with nothing but frustrating tangles and false starts. A medium action rod is by far the best fly rod to learn on.
Choose the Best Fly Rod for Local Conditions
When deciding what sort of rod to buy, it's very important to consider local conditions. It may well be that because of where you live you will be mostly doing a particular kind of fly-fishing that calls for a very heavy – or indeed very light – combination of rod and line. In this case, there may be no point in buying a generic 5 or 6 weight outfit.
The obvious thing to do is to get in touch with other fly-fishermen in your area and find out what weight rod and line they normally use when they go out fishing. Buying something that is markedly different from what everyone else seems to be using is clearly a silly move.
The following table provides a brief summary of rod types and uses:
How Much to Spend on a Beginner's Fly Rod
Many beginners think they should spend as little as possible on their first fly rod. The argument is, they might not enjoy fly-fishing as much as they thought they would, so why buy the best fly rod out there?
The solution to this dilemma is to purchase a middle-of-the-range fly rod by a well known maker such as Penn, Fenwick or Scierra. Rods by these manufacturers are reasonably expensive but don't cost the Earth – and they are certainly of solid good quality.
But the best thing about a middle-range rod is that, should you really enjoy fly-fishing and decide to upgrade to a top-flight rod, you will be able to sell your middle-range rod as a second-hand item far more readily than you would a cheap and nasty rod. Either that or you can keep hold of your first rod and use it as a back-up to your magnificent new G.Loomis or Sage rod.

An upgraded air-conditioning system and a glass-paneled elevator to replace the center court spiraling ramp are the latest improvements being made or planned at Oxford Valley Mall. They are part of multifaceted renovations as the 23-year-old Middletown Township facility prepares to meet competition from its future neighbors, which will include the Court at Oxford Valley, a 700,000-square-foot center of mega-stores, and several smaller centers.
The giant crane looming over the mall last week was dismantling the old cooling tower on the roof and installing a new one, said Bob Hart, Oxford Valley's general manager. The new tower will provide 9,000 gallons of water a minute to make the mall's air conditioning more efficient.

Album Review
Ecce Cor Meum
("Behold My Heart" in Latin) is
Paul McCartney
's fourth album of classical music and his second oratorio, following
Liverpool Oratorio
of 1991. Like that piece, it was commissioned, in this case by Anthony Smith, then president of Magdalen College at Oxford University, who was looking for a work to christen a new concert hall. As so often happens with commissions, the composition took much longer than intended, eight years, in fact, with work interrupted for other projects and by
's tumultuous personal life, which included the death of his first wife,
Linda McCartney
, and his meeting, marrying, and separating from his second. According to producer
John Fraser
, as quoted by annotator
Peter Quantrill
, it was the earlier event that most affected the work: "The loss of
is suffused throughout the piece." If so, that would explain some of the more melancholy passages, notably the brief Interlude (Lament) that comes in the middle of the work. Death also is apparent in the final section,
Ecce Cor Meum
itself, which contains lyrics commenting on separation. But
's sunnier nature is also apparent throughout. The hourlong choral work sounds appropriate to its commission; it would fit in well in either a concert hall or church, sung by an adult and boys' choir. Most of
's lyrics are generalized expressions of love and, as the opening section puts it, Spiritus, rather than God specifically. There are moments that pop fans will recognize, certain familiar melodic motifs and instrumental sounds. For example,
's affection for the piccolo trumpet, first revealed on "Penny Lane," is explored further.
Ecce Cor Meum
is not a great new choral work. It is unlikely, as Smith hoped, to be "sung by young people the world over in the same way that
's Messiah is." But on its own terms, it is a successful minor piece of classical music.

Massif wrote:Y'know, there comes a point when you need to be less paranoid (not really the correct word, but close) about criticism and Beer.
I can kinda see Bazul's point, because you've used the line "I'm new to this thing" or variants, a fair bit. It probably only makes an impact if you watch a bunch of your videos one after another. Aside from that you're seeing criticism where there isn't any! We all like your content, but you'll see a disproportionate amount of criticism because that's the way forums work.
Oh, and you don't need an account to watch videos, so there's no reason to doubt the claim that they've watched a stack before deciding to comment.
I said I'd "file it" under Beer28 - I can tell a genuine Beer post from a non Beer post. He does have a certain style that gives him away (not just talking about content).
The reason I saw it as a troll was that we've been hit by someone who's creating accounts with which to troll. It's hard not to be suspicious when I find negative comments posted with brand new accounts.
As for the annoying stuff... I've been public speaking/blogging/podcasting/whatevering for so long now that none of this stuff requires any kind of conscious effort. I have to watch these videos as I'm editing them, and I have no idea what Bazul was talking about.
Again, if someone's going to provide any kind of feedback about something specific (and it sounds like there's a specific complaint here), it helps to point me to what is offending rather than just telling me that I've got a "shtick" and that it's irritating.
When I critique something (or flat out complain), I do the object of my critiques the favor of specifying exactly what it is I'm talking about. I don't just say "You stink" and then walk off. That's not helpful.
There's also been so much negativity around here in recent months that it's getting harder and harder to tolerate. I hope to have a "breakthrough moment" when I suddently decide to stop caring about it, but it hasn't happened yet because I'm still in the stage of caring about my job and how well I do it.
In my last job, I read thousands of comments from customers. The vast majority were extremely positive.
The few negative comments usually fell into one of these categories:
- Personal Preference: These were the people who didn't like my style and kept the comment simple, down to a few general adjectives and adverbs from which I could learn absolutely nothing
- Insane: Some people would leave a few comments in Klingon amid grease stains left by their unwashed hands - I didn't pay a lot of attention to these
- Experience: You'd be shocked at the number of times I got rated down because someone didn't like the muffins
- Ignorance: Some people just didn't know any better and left scathing complaints to make it look like it was somehow my fault their IQs were in the low double-digits
- Valuable: These were the rarest complaints, but I dd get them every now and then - From them, I was able to improve what I did, and avoid making certain common mistakes, but it required the effort on behalf of the audience member to come up with something specific to say - Without specifics, it was right back to the "Personal Preference" flavor of complaints...
After getting so many insulting comments, I got a little tired of it.
But those interactions were one way. I collected the comment sheets, read them, and couldn't respond.
Now I can respond, and I think that what I initially said to Bazul was entirely valid:
If you have a problem with how I do my job, then your comments will get a lot more attention and respect if they're specific and respectful - I don't respond well when someone calls my personality "shtick" - it may prove that this is the case and that I'm the wrong guy for this job, but I know absolutely nothing more about how to do my job well after having read Bazul's comment than before.
That, and with all the mud-slinging I've been seeing here (there's a reason I stopped frequenting the Coffeehouse), it's hard to tell the real comments (yours) from the bait.

FAU's James Murley Appointed
to Florida Chamber Foundation's Six Pillars Caucus
BOCA RATON, FL (July 21, 2010) – James Murley, assistant dean and senior research assistant for climate and energy at Florida Atlantic University, has been named as a caucus member of the Florida Chamber Foundation to assist in the expansion of its research and policy development. The caucus system is designed to garner the input of local and regional subject matter experts.
"I am honored to represent FAU and the Florida Energy and Climate Commission on this prestigious committee," said Murley. "It was specifically created to develop a long range economic vision for Florida and I look forward to making a positive impact on its future."
Caucus members are comprised of the State's "best and brightest" with commitments aligned to one of the "Six Pillars of Florida's Future Economy." Murley will serve on the Infrastructure and Growth Leadership Caucus.
"Florida is moving toward its next economy, and the Foundation's new caucus system will prove to be an invaluable framework to help get us there," said Jeff Lyash, chair of the board of trustees of the foundation and executive vice president of corporate development for Progress Energy Florida. "I would like to personally thank the volunteers who have been selected to serve on each caucus for their time commitment and offering their invaluable expertise towards this great cause."
Murley also is the chair of the Florida Energy and Climate Commission, a former secretary of the Florida Department of Community Affairs, and the former executive director of 1,000 Friends of Florida. He also is a fellow of the National Academy of Public Administration.
As the leading edge of the Florida Chamber enterprise, the Foundation is a problem-solver and research organization, working in partnership with state business leaders to promote a vibrant Florida economy.

A reading and public discussion on the joy and terror of Bronx childhood will be held on Monday, February 27 at 6 PM at the new Bronx Library Center at 310 East Kingsbridge Avenue. Admission is free.
Organized by Dr. James L. Wunsch, Associate Professor of History at Empire State College (SUNY) and Senior Educator, Bronx County Historical Society, the presentation showcases the rich and powerful literature of Bronx childhood.
The presentation will be drawn from Kate Simon's Bronx Primitive, the story of a Jewish girl's coming-of- age in the twenties, Geoffrey Canada's Fist Stick Knife and Gun, a sixties chronicle of learning how to fight, and Latoya Hunter's Diary—My First Year in Junior High written and published during 1990-1991 when the Jamaican-American girl was 12-years old.
Dr. Wunsch pointed out that as late as the sixties, caring and devoted families sent even young kids out to play. By the seventies the streets, parks and neighborhoods had became too dangerous. Kids had to be protected and they were put on "lockdown." Confined to apartments, they now found society and entertainment not in the neighborhood but on TV and in playing video games. The joy, power, and terror of the city—all that had indelibly stamped Bronx childhood—had now disappeared.

After getting the signature of Josh Pace straight after the 2013 National Basketball League season ended, the Nelson Giants waited until a month out from the 2014 campaign before signing their second import.
However, they are confident they've found a quality producer, grabbing well-travelled big man Jamal Boykin to fill the void left by Erron Maxey.
Boykin, an American high-school standout, is a 6'8″ forward, originally playing collegiately for Duke, before moving to Cal-Berkeley, where he stood out, being named in the Pac-10 conference's second team as a senior. Since he entered the professional realms in 2011, he has played all over the world, largely in Europe, where he has played in top divisions in Turkey, Cyprus, Netherlands and Germany, while he has also played in Japan.
Most recently, Boykin has been playing in the Ukraine, but with the recent threats of unrest levelled at the European nation by Russia, he grabbed an opportunity to come to New Zealand with both hands.
Also he may be undersized for the centre spot he'll likely be playing in, a likely frontcourt with Mika Vukona will make up for a lack of size with hustle, intangibles and a good nose for the boards, while both players have good touch inside.
A problem the Giants may encounter is a lack of spacing, with recently signed Adrian Majstrovich being able to spread the floor, but Vukona (when available) and Boykin, as well as Pace – who rarely is a threat from deep – potentially clogging potential offence. However, their defence and productivity in finding efficient shots at the rim should be able to make up for any potential problems.
With pre-season encounters just two weeks away, the Giants will be looking to implement Boykin into their systems quickly as they aim to go one step further than last year's finals defeat.

The First Interactive Workshop on Narrative Studies
Centre of Advanced Study (Phase II)
Department of Comparative Literature
Jadavpur University
January 18, 2012
The Centre of Advanced Study (Phase II), Department of Comparative Literature, Jadavpur University will be organizing a one day National workshop on "Following Forkhead Paths: Discussions on the Narrative" on January 18, 2012.
The workshop would locate 'narrative' within a wider cultural framework, across spatial and temporal dimensions. Where do narrative traditions come from? And what purpose do they serve?
The Workshop will focus on the Narrative as a form of ordering and cognition in any medium : language, visual media, performance or film. The questions that we would like to address are
How does a narrative tradition reconfigure experience, and establish/ rupture normative aspects of life worlds?
How does one narrative tradition accommodate another, what are the dynamics of accommodation and reception, what are the elements of a narrative tradition that produce it as a separate repertoire or interconnects one tradition with the other?
What are the premises behind categorizations and modes of fabrication of the 'text'?
The objective of the Workshop would be to reinvent the epistemological issues regarding narrative theory and traditions that would in turn, provide direction in the understanding Narrative as a cognitive operation through comparative literature methodology. The workshop aims to invite interdisciplinary dialogues on the dynamic nature of the narrative and how different narrative traditions form their own kind of theory, highlighting certain aspects of their social construction at the expense of others and the negotiations involved in literary and cultural transactions. The larger aim of the project, of which the workshop is a part, aims to look at the potential relationship between and futures for diverse narrative traditions.
A 200 word abstract (in Bangla or English) of the paper proposed for presentation must be sent together with the mail indicating interest in participating in the Workshop at firstname.lastname@example.com by 30th October 2011. Acceptance of papers will be communicated latest by 20th November 2011. Full text of the paper will be expected by 31st December, 2011. Selected papers would be published. The workshop encourages participants to seek travel and accommodation funds from their home institutions.

By a couple of measures, the Seneca Niagara Casino that opened in Niagara Falls a decade ago has been a failure for the city that hosts it. Not only has there been no spin-off development because of the casino, but the windfall it should have been to Niagara Falls has been strangled by a legal dispute between the Seneca Nation of Indians and the state of New York.
Still, in at least one critical way, the casino performed a function for which it was intended: It provided competition to the Niagara Falls, Ont., casinos that were already attracting American gamblers. In that regard, and given that the location was a tourist city, it made sense then to open a casino on the New York side, even though gambling brings with it a host of ancillary problems. It still makes sense.
It also made sense in that, by acknowledging the reality of casino gambling, New York State and the cities that hosted the Seneca casinos – Niagara Falls, Buffalo and Salamanca – would get a share of the profits from the slot machines. For Niagara Falls, that meant an additional $70 million over the first several years of operation, money that helped repave pothole-filled roads, fund its economic development efforts, clear blighted areas and launch a new tourism agency.
But then the money stopped. Testing the limits of the exclusivity zone that is part of the casino agreement with the state, New York began offering competition to the Senecas as close as Hamburg. The Senecas responded by withholding payments from the state, also cutting off the source of the city's take from the casino.
That has been a killer for the city, depriving it of $60 million to date and helping to precipitate a financial crisis that nearly led to an 8 percent increase in property taxes. That matter is now before an arbitrator, but if the casino is to have any meaning to the people of Western New York, the matter has to be resolved in a way that allows those payments to continue.
What never made sense was the hope that plopping a casino in the middle of Niagara Falls would somehow spark other development in the city. It wasn't going to happen, just as it didn't happen in Atlantic City, N.J., and other regions devoted to gambling.
When gamblers enter a casino, they don't leave to take in the sights. The consume their free alcohol, eat their tax-free meals and stay in the tax-free hotel. They spend the rest of their cash in the largely vain pursuit of free money.
Still, like other human temptations, gambling is here to stay. The best we can do is to temper its unfortunate consequences and use the money for worthwhile efforts. That was the promise made to Niagara Falls and it is a promise that has been broken. However the arbitration is resolved, Niagara Falls needs to be made whole. It has kept up its end of the bargain.

Workers at Diversified Maintenance Systems announce 17 OSHA complaints Filed against the company
Senator Sandy Pappas Joins the Call to Sears to Use Responsible Cleaning Contractors
St. Paul – Retail cleaning workers, CTUL, State Senator Sandy Pappas and concerned community members gathered today to announce that 17 workers at Diversified Maintenance Systems recently filed complaints with the Occupational Safety and Health Association (OSHA) alleging violations of their right to a safe workplace. Diversified Maintenance Systems cleans Sears, Kmart, Target and Best Buy stores across the Twin Cities.
"I work for diversified using chemicals to clean the floors, but I have never received any training on what the chemicals are or how to protect myself from them," said Alejandro Quirino, Diversified Maintenance worker and member of CTUL. "I believe that many workers are facing the same thing and that's why 17 of us filed complaints," he said.
"We believe that this company is hurting workers in our community, and we are calling on Sears to use a responsible cleaning company ," said Gerania Mata, member of CTUL. In a report released earlier this year, CTUL uncovered that Diversified Maintenance Systems has had 6 lawsuits and 1 department of labor investigation alleging violations of wage and hour law just in the past 5 years. CTUL is currently working with a group of over 10 workers from the Twin Cities who have filed a lawsuit against Diversified Maintenance alleging failure to pay full overtime pay.
State Senator Sandy Pappas said, "I am very pleased to be here to join the call to Sears to support the workers and the neighborhoods by hiring a responsible cleaning contractor."
Alejandro Quirino also said, "If these issues are not resolved we will be holding a large scale action on September 29th to protest the conditions that Diversified workers face while cleaning companies like Sears, Kmart, Target and Best Buy"
Press Coverage:
Pioneer Press: "many workers haven't received training with the chemicals they use on the job, including floor-cleaning chemicals, and that they're locked in the stores when working overnight"
Businessweek: "…Diversified said that while some stores are closed and must be locked when they're cleaned…"
The Uptake: Locked Doors Pose Safety Risk To Cleaning Workers CTUL Claims
La Prensa: "Yo creo que muchos trabajadores están pasando lo mismo y es por eso que 17 de nosotros metimos quejas."

4 Tips for Effectively Using Layaway
|Email Print
One of the Christmas traditions making a comeback since the recession has been layaway. The idea behind layaway is that you can reserve an expensive item now, and make payments on it for a few weeks. Once you have paid off the item, you can take it home.
Layaway allows you to make sure that your get the items you want (vital during the holiday shopping season), without breaking the budget — or turning to high-interest credit cards to make the purchase. If you want to make the most of layaway this holiday season, here are 4 tips to consider:
1. Have a Plan for Making the Payments
First and foremost, you need to know that you can make the payments. While some stores have layaway plans that last as long as 12 weeks — or even 16 weeks — many stores limit your layaway options to 8 weeks. You might even have to pay the full amount within 4 to 6 weeks. Make sure you understand the length of time you have to make your payments, and create a budget that allows you to meet the requirements.
Divide up the total of the item by the number of weeks you have. If you need to pick up the item in 6 week, and it costs $200, you will need to pay $33.33 a week. Set that money aside so that you can make those payments as agreed. If you don't, you could end up seeing your item put back on the shelf.
2. Know the Fees
Realize that some layaway plans come with fees. Stores want to make money, so they do it by charging a fee for layaway. If the item you want is available at more than one store, call around to find out about layaway policies and costs. In many cases, it's possible to find a store that charges lower fees.
Also, be aware of the restocking fee that might be charged if you change your mind. The refund of the money you have already paid in might be reduced by between 5% and 20% of the purchase price if there is a restocking fee. If you are reserving an item for your child's Christmas present, make sure that he or she really wants it. Because it will cost you otherwise.
3. Put Something Down
Many layaway programs require you to put something down on on the item before you reserve. In some cases, the amount is a flat fee, like $5 or $10. In other cases, though, you might be required to put down 10% or 20% of the purchase price. Run the numbers and see how much you can put down. The more you pay up front, the sooner you can get the item — and the lower your other payments will be.
4. Keep a List
Make sure to keep a list of the layaway programs you are participating in. That way, you know where each item is, and how much you owe. If you have multiple items with one store, make sure you know which purchases they are. Then, compare your list with what you pick up. Don't complete the final transaction until you verify that all of the items you put on layaway are present.

Welcome to the homepage for the Thai students at the University of Hawai'i. You will find helpful resources in this website.
Usually TSA arranges potluck party once every semester around the 2nd week after the pain (school) begins. All Thai students and scholars are invited to this party, no admission fee. But if you want to pay, we'll take it.
Well, the following is kind of requirement. You are supposed to bring some foods (that you cook), snacks, dessert, drink (non-alcohol) with you.
Now the question arises: how much food I should take with me? Let's say … just bring the portion that good enough to feed yourself when you feel like you didn't eat anything for a week or so !! just kidding. Collectively, we will have enough food and that how TSA can keep this tradition rolling.
After all, may the good thing return to you and this is the reason why it's called pot"luck". The exact date, time and venue will be announced and send thru email thai-l.
TSA recommends that you do nothing but study!! Don't feel like study? Fine!! Go clean up your messy room. Still don't like that idea? How about go cooking for the next TSA potluck? All right!! let's get to the real weekend business. Honolulu has many fun activities you can enjoy when you have such a short time like "weekend".
Swimming--this is a true story. When I first came here, a senior Thai UH student said to me "let's go swimming". I asked "where? on-campus pool?". He replied "No!! we'll swim in the ocean". Geeeee … I was thinking about swimming in calm surface water back then!! Would I got swept down to the ocean floor??? how far would those people swim?? After a while, you get use to swimming in the ocean and you might have some favorite beaches that you want to go every weekend; e.g. Waikiki, Ala Moana, Hanauma Bay.
Tennis--many public tennis courts are available throughout the city. They are in a very good condition. Plus, the spotlights will be on after the sunset. And it's FREE !! But, be prepared to meet with the crowd during the prime time (morning, evening to early at night).
Ward Center--there are 16 screens. Good quality theaters. But sorry !! not as nice as those at SiamParagon. Caution, in the back of some theaters, it smells like spoiled popcorn!! $8.75 normal rate and $6.75 morning matinee rate (before 4 pm).
Restaurant Row--this is a cheap deal!! $1 normal rate and $0.5 for matinee. There are 9 screens. Wonder why it's so cheap? Answer is simple, they show "old" movies like "the sound of music" hahaa… actually, not that old.
Varsity Theater--"classic" style!! and show indi' movies. Yet, not cheap. But it's located just in UH neighborhood. Ohh… there's a wonderful ice cream place called "Bubbie" right behind Varsity theater.
While there are many other theaters in Honolulu, TSA recommends only those three locations because we think that it's close to you so that you can come back and study!!

David Price or Tyson Fury who had the poorer opposition?
Well if the HW Future lays in Briton. based on what I saw... it's bleak.
I've never been more confused by the choice of an opponent more than these two. All I can say is a 45 year old toucher, and a fat jabbing heavy bag that can go 12...wow.
Don't put them in with killers, but at least dudes that have a pulse.
So who is it David or Fury?

I think Johnson was a more Live opponent than Skelton.
Im not convinced with either but am leaning towards Fury as overall I think he's been tested more. Price now needs a decent test unless he is destined to knockout out all comers but i dont think he's really been put under any pressure by anyone yet.

You spelt 'Britain' the way that's used to describe a native.
Johnson was always a risky opponent, either brings it or just stands there for 12 rounds. Skelton was just a stay-busy fight, but I still didn't like it. I wouldn't read too much into Price's endeavours at the end of this year, he's being readied for something big in 2013.

I don't see the latest rounds of fights from Price and Fury telling us much more than we already knew.
Price won a 'stay busy' fight and got rid of Skeleton as he was supposed to. Fury beat a fighter who was always likely to go the distance but not offer much in offence.
They finished the year off with wins and i see 2013 as the year they both face better competition and make names for themselves outside of the UK.

I accidently clicked on Price because the title of the thread says who had the 'poorer opposition', whereas the poll title says who had the 'better opposition'. But Tyson had the better opposition.

Collecting Case Data on Tourism in Burma
A few weeks ago we launched the website my.ecoburma.com. Its purpose is to enable individuals – both travellers and locals – as well as civil society groups to submit reports on concrete issues that can be traced back to the presence of inbound tourism. We consider this an important step in empowering locals to get involved and to leverage the positive potential of tourism, while at the same time minimizing negative side effects and avoiding common pitfalls.
Avoiding Top-Down Approaches
Burma is struggling with the recent boom in tourism and many observers are afraid that it might follow the bad examples of other developing countries. It seems that little is being done, however, to raise awareness among the Burmese population and involve them, even though activities to foster responsible tourism have started on governmental level and are often focussed on maximum visibility in media. In the emerging plans, however, the role assigned to civil society does not actually reflect its critical importance in a bottom-up democracy, and any attempt to sideline the people would most likely fail to achieve the proclaimed goals of responsible tourism since no control mechanism would exist to represent the rights of the powerless.
The step from demanding responsible tourism to enforcing it must necessarily involve local civil society, and it requires citizens that are aware, right here where tourism is taking place. Mere declarations of commitment from business and authorities are not sufficient, since the rights of ordinary people only too often collide with powerful profit-making goals, turning idealist concepts like "responsible tourism", "ethical tourism", "sustainable tourism", or "fair travel" into products that serve no other purpose than tapping new customer groups.
It would certainly be naïve to expect that the Myanmar government together with national and international tourist corporations would start to fight for labour rights and for a visitor quota on endangered heritage sites, or that they would reduce energy and clean water wastage in a hotel in order to increase the supply for surrounding households. This important task can only be done by free media and by independent associations formed and controlled by qualified individuals who genuinely care for the disenfranchised.
While Internet, social media and crowdsourcing (thanks to Ushahidi) certainly don't provide any magic bullet to kick-start democracy and human rights, they can at least serve as a tool that is accessible even to inadequately funded civil society actors and that – diligently applied – can indeed make a difference.

"We're liquidating everything. Everything in the store is for sale — fixtures and all," said store manager Bernadette Gallagher.
The store stopped renting and started selling its DVDs and video games on Dec. 26, and Gallagher said it's been busy since then with customers looking to take advantage of the drastically reduced prices.
Danielle Johnson, corporate communications specialist with DISH Network LLC, declined to comment on a particular location but said, "Stores can close for a number of reasons, such as the store reaching the end of its lease, a store may be too large in size or property owners may be unwilling to reach a reasonable lease renewal.
"Blockbuster continues to evaluate the performance of each store individually," Johnson continued.
"As we have said in previous statements, we remain committed to maintaining only those stores that we believe we will be able to operate profitably."
Blockbuster filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2010, reportedly planning at that time to restructure the company as it struggled to compete with increasingly popular media-viewing alternatives.
Blockbuster will continue to focus on its Blockbuster Total Access DVDs By Mail service; through this service, customers pay a flat monthly fee to have "access to over 100,000 titles, Blu-ray and game rentals, and in-store exchanges at participating Blockbuster stores," Johnson said.
"Blockbuster and DISH also recently introduced the 'Blockbuster Movie Pass' for DISH satellite TV customers, which provides access to DVDs and games by mail, in-store exchanges and movies and TV shows streamed to their TV and PC via the Internet."

Crysis 2
Crysis 2 Xbox 360 Game review by GameNTrade Ltd.By GameN Trade Score:
Jan 25, 2013 7:24AM PST
Crysis 2 (Xbox 360)
I remember my friends anticipating this game, I had things about PC gaming having superior graphics spewed in my ears ever since the first Crysis, put people don't always notice the game's true quality, because of state of the art graphics, or some other gimmick. Suffice to say, I was glad that Crysis 2 was more gameplay than graphics oriented, putting the graphic detail aside, they would represent the game's esthetics and mechanics better, and Crytek made really made improvements.
You are a marine called Alcatraz, and after barely surviving an alien encounter you receive the nanosuit from a familiar face, Prophet, from the first game. The story wastes no time throwing the players face first in the fire. Alcatraz finds himself in ruins of New York City, three years after the initial invasion, and the city is being evacuated because of the alien infestation, which causes tissue decay on a cellular level. Civil unrest takes place, mobs of the Ceph run rampant, and Crynet mercs are operating under martial law, making all odds against Alcatraz, but the help of nanosuit, he just might have what it takes.
We're talking about an FPS here, so controlling Alcatraz is about standard, Left-stick to aim, trigger to shoot, whit the exception of the powers granted by his futuristic suit of armor. For the sake of pacing, I'll compare it to the first game, since a couple of issues have been resolved, like for instance, you are now allowed to use the combination of suits modes, like combining Max strength and armor on the fly for melee combat, or Cloak and strength, for a more stealthy approach. This gives players more room to experiment in different areas and freedom of choice as far as tactics go, but as streamlined as the controls are, the suit still has limited energy, and you will stop from time to time to plan out an assault, and as a reward you unlock weapon customization and suit mode upgrades. The game also has a descent multiplayer feature, where the game's mechanic, revolving around the nanosuit, shines, and it's definitely a breath of fresh air in the FPS genre.
The first game had astonishing graphics, if you had a rig to max it out, but it didn't have much to offer, the gameplay was mediocre. I will admit, the nanosuit idea is awesome, the open world is great, but that was it. You have superpowers, go from point A to point B, vehicles, Koreans and that's it. It did have some twists and turns with some sections, and a big finale, but if you take away the graphics, it's nothing more but a benchmark of Cryo engine's possibilities. Now, for Crysis 2, they actually made effort to focus on the story, and since they've went multiplatform, the graphic detail is taken down a notch. None the less, the game still looks gorgeous on the Xbox 360, it's clearly one of the most polished titles that ever came out. Some might complain that the game deserves less attention than the first installment, because of the design choices like, the more linear environment, but every decision Crytek made compliments the story and setting nicely, moving on from a jungle to the concrete jungle, progressing the story about an alien threat.
- Gorgeous Graphics
- Fun Gameplay
- Short single player campaign
For what it's worth, the franchise made a graceful leap to the console market, and It's stands well on its own, despite the short 5-8h long campaign, it's still fun and it deserves proper attention, just in time to get us hyped up for the upcoming third game

Top Ten Caribbean Off-the-Beaten-Path Adventures
St. Lucia: Climb the Pitons
By Paris Permenter & John Bigley
Page 1 of 10 |
The view itself is a classic—the Pitons of St. Lucia, soaring straight up from the sea's edge. But actually climbing the twin set of natural icons—2,620-foot Gros Piton and 2,460-foot Petit Piton—is a challenge very few undertake. These volcanic peaks are for experienced climbers only—they aren't technical, but landslides are a constant danger and the going is very rugged. Snaking up the misty, jungle-covered, boulder-strewn mountainsides for the huge views from the top is an experience well worth the trouble. In spite of its size, Gros Piton is the easier and can be done in half a day; the steeper-sided Petit Piton is more of a challenge.

$cott Walker said that his wife wishes he loses the recall election. He said then he could work in the private sector , and make some REAL money.
THIS coming from guy that has almost always has been paid by our tax dollars. (That, and millions from his billionair buddies.)
$171,715 in compensation and a luxurious lifestyle in the Governor's mansion, with its 13 bathrooms, seven bedrooms, seven fireplaces and seven garden areas isn't enough for Scott Walker.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0_FHfDu ... r_embedded
Scott Walker promised put Wisconsinites back to work, but instead of focusing on job creation, he has been jetting all over the country in a private plane promising more handouts to the powerful special interests that line his campaign coffers.
With Scott Walker out of the state so often, one could almost understand how he wouldn't have time to appreciate his taxpayer-funded residence director, chef, gardener, housekeeper, waitstaff, laundress or flower arranger at the people's mansion.

Santa Clarita Valley Sanitation District officials announced Wednesday they will take legal action against the commission that ruled California won't pay to remove chloride from the Santa Clara River — leaving ratepayers to pick up the tab.
The district's Board of Directors unanimously voted Wednesday to petition the Superior Court for a reversal of the Commission on State Mandates' Jan. 24 decision.
The district had requested the commission classify chloride cleanup expenses as unfunded mandates, since a state agency had ordered the district to reduce chloride emissions in wastewater released into the river.
Under state law, unfunded state mandates can be classified a state financial obligation, rather than that of a municipality.
But the commission ruled the responsibility for cleanup costs belonged to the district, in part because the district has the means to underwrite them. That means is raising sewer-users' rates, which appear on property taxes.
Laurene Weste, a Santa Clarita City Council member who also serves on the three-member SCV Sanitation District board, she she was encouraged by Wednesday's unanimous decision. Also serving on the board are Councilman Bob Kellar and county Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich.
"We support the sanitation district's being reimbursed for the (chloride limit) mandate," Weste said.
The cost of ridding the river of chloride by injecting the naturally occurring salty compound into wells deep under the Santa Clarita Valley is expected to cost at least $130 in capital expenses and $4.1 million in annual operating expenses.

LANSING, MI - Gov. Rick Snyder on Tuesday said an agreement on budget targets reached by Republican leaders contains "many good things for Michigan" – but it leaves some long-term issues unresolved.
The target agreement– which could be voted on in the Legislature by the end of next week -- includes an additional investment of $350 million into state roads. That's far short of the $1.2 billion in additional annual roads revenue that Snyder sought, but lawmakers haven't yet agreed on a way to fund the program for the long term. Proposals to raise fuel taxes and vehicle registration fees haven't gained much support.
The budget plan would not include an expansion of Medicaid under the federal Affordable Care Act or Obamacare -- at least for now. It would include more money for public schools.
Lawmakers got some unexpected good news last week, when officials agreed the state was taking in nearly $483 million more than previously expected in the current fiscal year. Some of the increased revenue may be due to economic improvements. But more than half of it was attributed to higher-than-expected income tax collections because of people selling off stock and other investments in late 2012 or early 2013 in anticipation of possible federal tax changes related to the "fiscal cliff." There's also a bit of an overall revenue increase projected for the next fiscal year, which begins in October.
That may help Michigan roads in the short term. But not in the long term.
"While we're putting a lot of resources into roads, there's still more work that needs to be done," Snyder said in a video statement Tuesday. "And we're going to continue that process."
K-12 public schools would get $140 million in additional money. That would be in addition to the 2 percent overall funding boost previously planned in the next fiscal year for K-12, community colleges and universities.
At the K-12 level, much of that previously ticketed 2 percent could be eaten up by more state payments into the school employee retirement system. The additional $140 million will be in "direct support" for K-12 schools, according to a press release from the Snyder administration.
Some specific details of budgets will have to be worked out before final votes are held.
The Snyder administration said "funding for early childhood education is solidified at $65 million" for the 2014 fiscal year with another $65 million targeted for the 2015 fiscal year.
Snyder said the Republican agreement was a way to "continue to invest in our young people." But Democrats wanted far more of the budget surplus spent on schools.
"It's disgraceful to hear Governor Snyder claim that the budget agreements made by Republicans today somehow represent an investment in our schools when in reality they won't do a thing to undo the damage his agenda has done to schools across Michigan over the past two years," Gretchen Whitmer, leader of the Senate's Democrats, said in a statement. "Numerous schools teetered on the brink of financial disaster this year and this budget will only ensure those problems grow worse in the coming school year."
Said Rep. Tim Greimel, leader of House Democrats: "While we are supportive of $140 million going toward schools, we would rather see the full surplus go straight to the School Aid Fund and to tax cuts for everyday people."
Republicans hold the majority over Democrats in both the House and Senate. Tuesday's target agreement was reached by Snyder and his administration, Bolger and Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville, R-Monroe.
Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act will not be included in versions of budget bills that lawmakers will vote on within the next couple of weeks. It remains possible that Medicaid expansion could be addressed through separate bills at a later time. A bill pending in the House would allow expansion of Medicaid but only if certain House Republican-backed conditions are approved by the federal government – including a four-year time limit on receiving benefits for able-bodied adults. That may be unlikely, since it appears no other state has such a time limit.
Under the Republican plan, about $75 million more would go into the state's budget stabilization or "rainy day" savings account. Snyder has boosted savings since becoming governor in 2011, and said Tuesday the goal is to "help protect our future."
Bolger acknowledged some "full solutions" – particularly for roads – haven't been reached yet.
"We're going to continue our conservative budget based on existing sources," he said. "We're not going to budget, we're not going to plan for dollars or answers that aren't there yet. Medicaid has not yet been answered. Other road revenue has not yet been answered. So we're not going to budget for those."
Lawmakers are hoping to have budget votes wrapped up next week. That would leave plenty of time for changes and adjustments ahead of the next state government budget plan, which begins Oct. 1.
Here's a video released by the Snyder administration talking about the budget deal:

Several recent studies have shown that relatively low doses and low blood levels of neuroleptics are often as effective as high doses of these drugs both in the treatment of an acute exacerbation of schizophrenia1-3 and in the maintenance treatment of stabilized outpatients with schizophrenia.4,5 Yet, some patients with chronic schizophrenia or related disorders, hospitalized for extended periods, are treated with relatively high doses of neuroleptics for many years. The efficacy of low doses vs standard or high doses of traditional neuroleptics in this group of patients has not been extensively investigated and thus represents an important gap in the low-dose research and treatment strategy. This letter reports an attempt to address this important clinical question.

Dylan Hewitt got to the Central Library of the Free Library of Philadelphia as the sun rose Friday to make sure he was first in line to meet Hillary Rodham Clinton.
"It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for someone like me, who wants to follow in her footsteps," said Hewitt, 22, a graduate student in public administration.
He got there at 5:30 a.m. By 9:30, two hours before Clinton's scheduled book signing, the line stretched down the block.
The former secretary of state came to town to sign copies of her newly published book, Hard Choices, as speculation about a possible 2016 presidential run has approached a crescendo. The event's 1,000 tickets sold out in less than 24 hours, according to library representatives, with people paying $35 for a chance to meet Clinton (admission price included the book purchase).

Tharp Named to Academic All-MAC Team
CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Mid-American Conference announced Tuesday the 2013 Men's Swimming and Diving Academic All-MAC Team, as voted by the faculty athletic representatives from the member MAC institutions. Ball State's Drew Tharp was named to the list.
This is Tharp's second time to be named to the Academic All-MAC team in his career. At this year's MAC Championships Tharp made it to the consolation finals of the 100 and 200 fly.
A total of 18 student-athletes were named to the Academic All-MAC team. Eastern Michigan placed six student-athletes, including this season's First Team All-MAC honoree Brian Moore and second teamer Andrew Saunders. Miami and Missouri State each placed three on the academic team, inclusive of second team honorees Chris Carpenter and Matthew Wilson of Missouri State.
Southern Illinois placed Calvin Kolar, and Kegan Skelton, both were second team honorees. Buffalo also placed two student athletes, while Ball State and Evansville each had one honoree represented on the academic team.
The Academic All-MAC honor is for a student-athlete who has excelled in athletics and academics. To qualify, a student-athlete must have at least a 3.20 cumulative GPA and have participated in at least 50 percent of the contests for that particular sport. First-year students and junior college transfers in their first year of residence are not eligible for the award. Outstanding academic and athletic accomplishments for the current season are only considered.
