Their phone lines are closed for the evening so I recommend the fax: Tell FCC Commissioner Copps via our free fax service: Be a hero and save the Internet
This is one of the more important issues that will impact all of us every day. Don't let the lobbyists and the corporate telecomms fuck up the internet.
What are you saying? Do you mean if we we just debate it here and bitch endlessly about how typical it is of corporate America it won't change a thing?
Next thing you're gonna tell me that changing my Facebook picture to a big mac won't end world hunger.
sure it will, you just have to believe
think of 4chan... all they do is bitch and getter done
yeah except people on 4chan actually do stuff irl about things. usually worthless shitty things, but they do it.
:dunno: Just remember, you guys asked for it.
Timothy Karr: Obama FCC Caves on Net Neutrality -- Tuesday Betrayal Assured
Al Franken: The Most Important Free Speech Issue of Our Time
You guys better get interneting while you have the time
you know what, fuck smartphones. i'm tired of paying ridiculous amounts for the small convience they provide. My contract is up end of this month and I'll be cancelling my service with ATT. I've paid over 2k during the contract period for it. That's like a fucking car right there.
Call your congressman, tell him to get on the FCC's case. Tell them you want this thing enacted. Tell them you will NOT bow down to sense and reason!!!
If you saw my op-ed in the Huffington Post yesterday, you know how concerned I was about today's FCC meeting on net neutrality (and, by the way, would you mind sharing it on Twitter and Facebook?).
Chairman Genachowski's draft Order was worse than nothing--and we needed to make sure the FCC didn't approve it today.
Well, there's good news and bad news. The good news is that, thanks to Commissioners Copps and Clyburn--not to mention a nationwide network of net neutrality activists like you--the proposal approved today is better than the original. For instance, the FCC has now stated that it does not condone discriminatory behavior by wireless companies like Verizon and AT&T--an important piece that was missing from the first draft. We made a difference.
The bad news is that, while it's no longer worse than nothing, the Order approved today is not nearly strong enough to protect consumers or preserve the free and open Internet. And with so much at stake, I cannot support it.
I'm still very concerned that it includes almost nothing to protect net neutrality for mobile broadband service--often the only choice for broadband if you live in rural or otherwise underserved areas. And I'm particularly disappointed that the FCC isn't specifically banning paid prioritization--the creation of an Internet "fast lane" for corporations that can afford to pay for it.
But here's the important thing to remember: This fight's not over. The FCC must vigorously enforce these new regulations--and it must follow through on addressing wireless discrimination going forward.
So what now? First, we need to work together to make sure the FCC keeps the promises it made today--just as our movement was instrumental in improving these regulations from the first draft, we'll be critical in ensuring that the regulations are enforced vigorously.
And I'm going to keep working with net neutrality advocates to see if there are legislative or administrative steps that can be taken to strengthen these protections.
But, for today, know that the work we're doing to save the Internet is making a difference. Today, the FCC took a small step forward--too small by my estimation, but forward nonetheless.
Thanks for your support,
Al Franken

Regardless of the size of your company, it's a big burden to manage the many vendors needed to run the HR side of your business and maintain compliance.
Check out how Payentry is helping employers:
Many of our clients lived in a scenario that most employers can relate to. They lived in a multi-vendor service model where ongoing costs were not known causing unpredictable impacts on cash flow.
Payentry provided them solutions with predictable cost structures so they could better manage their cash flow. For example, instead of annual premiums with audits to true up final pricing, they were provided monthly "pay as you go" solutions. Instead of making periodic payments or retirement plan payments, they were provided real time payments and contributions every pay cycle.
Many of our clients lived in a scenario that most employers can relate to. They lived in a multi-vendor service environment where most of the tools required for managing the human resource functions were provided by as many as 18 different vendors. This means 18 different contracts, log ins, and system configurations while having to manually pass data between 18 different platforms.
Payentry provided them an innovative solution that consists of an integrated framework of solutions to reduce the complexity and effort to manage their HR functions. The Payentry solution took all the critical solutions employers are looking for and placed them behind a single log in using cloud technology for anytime, anywhere access.
Thousands of companies have simplified their pricing, reduced processing effort and minimized the burden of compliance reporting while improving the level of services they provide to their company to retain talent and enhance the employee experience.

Thinning left power in capital puts Karats in dilemma
By Cithara Paul - NEW DELHI
Published: 25th November 2013 09:45 AM
Last Updated: 25th November 2013 09:45 AM
Come elections and Delhi based comrades, from CPM general secretary Prakash Karat to JNU molded Lefties, face a peculiar dilemma. They are left with no options to take part in this democratic carnival, thanks to the near total invisibility of the Left parties in the election process here.
The dilemma being faced by Mr and Mrs Karat, voters of New Delhi constituency, is so typical. If they have to vote, the CPM politburo members will have to vote either for Congress Chief Minister candidate Sheela Dikshit or her opponent BJP candidate Vijendra Gupta.
Both cannot be a choice for the Kartas for obvious political reasons as they are still dreaming an impossible Third Front Government.
The third option is Arvind Kejriwal, the ultimate leader of Aam Admi Party. Kejriwal also cannot be a choice as Karat still considers him as a 'NGO leader' and his enmity to NGO politics is well known ever since his student politics days.
These leave him with the last option of NOTA (none of the above) option. But Karat cannot press that button also as the party has taken a political position against NOTA. Sources close to him say this has been his plight in all the previous Assemble elections too. Even though the party has 4 candidates this time, the Left presence in the country's capital is as good as nothing.
The only time Karat apparently exercised his right to vote was in the last Lok Sabha elections. And that time he had voted for the BSP candidate as the CPM general secretary was busy cobbling up a Third Front Government pinning his hope on BSP leader Mayawati. But this time even that option does not exist as the relation between the CPM and the BSP has soured.
Left with no option, Karat and his PB member wife Brinda Karat will not be voting in the Delhi Assembly election.
But this plight is not Karat's alone. "All PB members whose vote falls in the New Delhi constituency face similar plight. It also tells the sad state of party in the capital city," said a party insider.
The other major national Left party, the CPI, also tells a similar story. CPI former secretary A B Bardhan also has vote in the New Delhi constituency. But he will not be voting as he has to travel to West Bengal around that time. If travelling to his home state is more important than casting vote, then it gives clear idea about the party's presence in Delhi.
Other major leaders of the CPI Sudhakar Reddy and D Raja have their votes in their respective home states.
The CPI, however, has a better presence in Delhi with it having fielded 21 candidates this time.
In fact, average Left sympathizers hailing from West Bengal and Kerala, the two Left bastions, also go through similar state of mind during the elections.
"It was a shock for us initially that we have none to vote for as we have always voted for a party candidate," said a party sympathiser who has never voted since he came to Delhi.

OU Students Clash with Police; Three Injured
By Express News Service - HYDERABAD
Published: 07th January 2014 08:37 AM
Last Updated: 07th January 2014 08:37 AM
A group of pro-Telangana students on Monday clashed with police in the Osmania University campus here after they were prevented from taking out a rally towards the state Assembly. Three students were injured in the incident.
Around 10:30 a.m., as many as 50 students including women took out a rally from OU Arts College to the Assembly demanding Telangana state unconditionally. As the rally reached the NCC gate, police detained the protesters on the gounds that restrictions were imposed and no rallies would be allowed in the city.
The protesting students indulged in heavy stone pelting on the security forces who responded by firing tear gas shells to disperse them. In the incident, three student received mild injures.
The students wanted to lay siege to the Assembly as part of 'Chalo Assembly' programme seeking discussion on the T bill in the Aassembly.
However, the police foiled their attempts.

Khao Sok mate, if you are interested I'll do some groundwork for you re. accommodation, food and transport.
In the second week of December I should be in Los with my Mom and her B/F in tow.
I'm thinking:
1~3 days in Bangers and then heading to Phuket (renting a car) and hang at the beach mainly, BUT at least one day (or two) I wanna' take a road trip to a nice National Park. Any suggestions??
I saw (and like the look of ) these places:
Sri Phang Nga
Ao Phang Nga
Khao Phanom Benja
Than Bok Korani
Any further suggestions or first-hand experiences are very welcome.
Basically looking for not-crowded, middle road conveniences (boat rides are ok), money is not a big issue.
We are buried beneath the weight of information, which is being confused with knowledge; quantity is being confused with abundance and wealth with happiness.

hire a longboat and go out into phang-nga bay. i've got a thread on it in here somewhere
^That's a beautiful trip too, also recommended.
After Phuket, if you want to try the East coast, you might want to work your way South to Raynong (a shit hole), turn left to Chumporn (another shit hole) get the high-speed ferry to Koh Tao, Tao is the least shitty of the shitty other two islands. The 70-kilo streach between Raynong and Chumporn is one of the loveliest drives known to man. Lots of little towns to stop and visit some nice country folk. Don't miss the WWII Japanese prison camp on your left. BTW, did you know the Japs came here in the 40's and took a huge piece of land without firing a shot?
I'll take a looksy into that big guy....but is the longboat noise a factor??...we quite like to chat aloud while we swill gin.
Right....should have time for that....up to them really.
I haven't been to Khao Lak since (1st) the tsunami cleanup and then a few months after tagging along with some superstars to pass out donations......Is it quite rebuilt up now?

MS is really shady thinking about returning my TF Xbox One
pigman2003 3 years ago#41
Proof I own a Xbox One
Where to start
1. The cloud Wasn't a lie people just blew it up not Microsoft, Titanfall uses the cloud and the servers on that game are fantastic, I have yet to here someone complain about them and despite playing the game for so lone I have yet to lag or be booted from a match.
DirectX is the standard for making games, why in the hell would you think it's a gimmick, DirectX 12 will give devs more tools to more closely and easily work on games it's as simple as that.
Both Microsoft and Sony pay for exclusives, I don't understand how this is new to you are why you go after Microsoft unless it's because they've paid for more great exclusives and your having a hissy fit that your stuck with a bunch of indie games.
FYI Microsoft's Xbox One exclusives aren't timed.
PS thanks for the picture I hope you choke on it.
TheMove2 posted...
Proof I own a Xbox One
So would you buy a PS4 instead? Because they have exclusives too, and in your mind, that is apparently shady business.
ALL games should have a Single Player mode. I can always guarantee I want to play when I turn on my system. I can't guarantee others will at the same time.

"they already got your money"
No, they didn't. M$ doesn't receive any money from consumers they get it from distributers. So it does in fact hurt M$ if you return your console as you're adding to the used console market and giving less of a reason for distributers to restock more consoles. One of the many reasons M$ tries to stop secondhand sales.
Life's a joke and you are the punchline.

The ladies in question were possibly mid-50s to mid-60s, and one became irate, informing me that to refer to her as "young lady" was an insult and condescending.
She went on to say that all her friends agree, and at her age she knows she is not young and I was just being rude. After being surprised by that outburst, I was verbally thrashed by the "lady's" husband for referring to a man as "sir." He indicated that "sir" was, as well, condescending and indicated old age.
I have been a server for many years. I refer to ALL my female guests as "miss," "ma'am," "missus" or "young lady." I refer to ALL my male guests as "sir," "gentlemen" or "young man," regardless of age.
My mother – 70 years old – takes no offense to the "young lady" – in fact, she loves it. My father expects "sir"; there is no other address.
Miss Manners, is it wrong to refer to women of any age as "young ladies" and men of any age as "sir"?
Gentle Reader: What an ill-matched and ill-natured couple you had the misfortune to encounter. The wife accuses you of being condescending for not recognizing that she is old, and the husband accuses you of being condescending for supposedly implying that he is.
What Miss Manners recognizes is the temptation to dismiss them both as cranks whose accusations have canceled each other. She commends you for using the incident instead to ponder the bizarre emotions that modern Americans have about age.
It has come to be generally considered disgraceful, if not disgusting, to age. The commercial world and the promoters of mental and physical health bombard us with products and techniques that claim to retard, if not reverse, aging. The implication is that ignorance or laziness is what keeps us from staying young, and the elderly have only themselves to blame.
As a result, an elaborate system of dissimulation has arisen, with which people conceal their own ages and reassure one another of eternal youth: "Oh, I'm too young to remember that," "You haven't changed a bit," "Your daughter? Why I thought you two were sisters," and so on.
Failing to observe this convention brings on the accusation of "You make me feel old." There can hardly be a more self-defeating complaint, as only the old have been known to utter it.
It is taken to such an extreme that many old people forgo – and claim to be insulted by – respect and consideration. To accept the offer of a seat or, as you discovered, a dignified title, may inspire rudeness.
Yet the two complaints you received are not parallel. "Young lady" is not a title of respect, but an apparent comment on age, born of the notion that everyone wants to seem young. Your mother may enjoy it, but with strangers, you should stick with "ma'am" or "miss."
You will still get complaints, like the one about using "sir," from those deluded enough to think that giving up the privileges of age will make them seem young. But no reasonable person can fault you for showing respect.
Spoonful of controversy
Dear Miss Manners: I use a small dessert spoon for ice cream and a tablespoon/larger spoon for cereal. My husband uses the reverse sizes, and it makes me crazy. Who is correct?
Gentle Reader: Actually, those big oval spoons are dessert and/or cereal spoons, the tiny distinction between them no longer being made. So if Miss Manners may confiscate those little spoons that are meant to stir tea (hint: they're called teaspoons), you would both be right.
Please send your questions to Miss Manners at her website, www.missmanners.com; to her email, dearmissmanners @gmail.com; or through postal mail to Miss Manners, Universal Uclick, 1130 Walnut St., Kansas City, MO 64106.

Ok Ladies!
Hopefully you have had enough time to read the book, The Leftovers by Tom Perrotta.
I am only going to list 3 questions here but you can obviously discuss as you wish :)
(I appologize because my questions are likely not very original lol)
1. The Leftovers details a senario where people, at random, have disappeared from the earth. By all accounts people have begun to go back to their "normal lives". How would you have handled this situation and do you think the author did a good job at describing the type of day to day life you pictured?
2. Kevin Garvey is abandened by his wife. She not only left him alone, but also their children. As a pregnant woman, I can tell you this affected me DEEPLY. How did affect you? Did it?
3. The ending of the book is sort of left as rather ambiguous. Why do you think the authorĀended it that way?

With each transfer window it is inevitable for a player who has enjoyed a successful campaign to be targeted by the biggest and best clubs. Last summer, Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas looked destined to depart the Emirates for the glory of Barcelona, whilst this summer, Frenchman Samir Nasri is under intense speculation after his strong season for the Gunners.
Another player who has endured a whirlwind of speculations and headlines is Tottenham star Luka Modric. The coveted Croatian has enjoyed three strong seasons with the London club since joining from Dinamo Zagreb for £16.5 million; he has now become one of the most chased targets in the English Premier League.
A diminutive dynamo who is blessed with outstanding pace, work ethic and vision alongside a sublime passing range, the 25-year-old commanded a £22 million bid from Chelsea, which was subsequently rejected by Harry Redknapp. Furthermore, Manchester United and Manchester City have both expressed heavy desires to secure the Croatia international.
Tottenham have audaciously stated that an offer will have to be over £50 million to prize their fearless midfielder away, but it is believed that Modric is unhappy with the wage he is receiving at White Hart Lane. Chelsea, Manchester United and City are all capable of offering considerably higher than his £45,000 per week wage.
Tottenham are said to be willing to break their wage structure in order to satisfy Modric by offering a £75,000 per week wage; however, it is still unclear what will occur for the Croatian. Modric possesses the desire to continue playing UEFA Champions League football, something Tottenham fail to offer after their poor conclusion to 2010-11. The previously mentioned giants can all offer this luxury.
With the future of Modric so unclear, Bleacher Report established 10 bold predictions that will occur during this summer's transfer window for the diminutive playmaker.

A truck driver was taken to the hospital after a train collided with the back of his trailer around 2 p.m. Sunday.
Capt. Jesse Hanes of the Pampa Fire Department said the driver, whose name has not been released, had stopped at the tracks at the intersection on U.S. Highway 60 about a mile west of Pampa to allow another train to cross.
His semi was carrying a load of railroad ties. When the westbound train finished across the intersection, the driver began to move and was hit by a second train that was traveling eastbound on the south track.
The intersection is a non-protected crossing. The driver had to be extricated from the cab.
He was taken to Pampa Regional Medical Center and is in stable condition as of Sunday night.

WASHINGTON - Flanked by a jumbo refund-check stage prop, President Bush asked Americans to get behind his proposed tax cuts Monday and said the reductions should be retroactive to Jan. 1 to "help get money into the people's pockets quicker."
He warned Congress and an army of lobbyists against add-ons, saying his plan is the right size "and I'm going to defend it mightily."
In the White House diplomatic room, the president began a drive for the upper hand Monday as he and Congress move toward formal debate over the centerpiece of his presidential campaign.
He did not shy from the idea, emphasized by Democrats in what Bush decried as "class warfare," that the wealthiest Americans stand to benefit the most.
"All the income tax rates should be cut," Bush said. "Our tax code should not punish success at any stage of life."
He stood beside a jumbo check written out to "U.S. Taxpayer" in the amount of $1,600 - the average tax cut for a family of four under his plan, according to White House estimates - and gathered around him three photogenic families who, in the bottom three tax brackets, would realize tax savings.
Asked by a reporter why no one was there representing the big winners in the top bracket, Bush laughed.
"Well, I beg your pardon," he said. "I got a little pay raise coming to Washington from Austin. I'll be in the top bracket."
The former Texas governor makes $400,000 as president under 1999 legislation that doubled the $200,000 annual salary.
Bush has proposed lowering and simplifying federal income tax rates by 2006.
Current rates are 15 percent, 28 percent, 31 percent, 36 percent and 39.6 percent. New rates would be 10 percent, 15 percent, 25 percent and 33 percent.
He would also expand child credits, ease the so-called marriage penalty and gradually repeal estate taxes.
Presidential appearances planned for Tuesday and Wednesday were to highlight such individual benefits plus the job-creation potential of tax cuts, before Bush submits his plan to Congress on Thursday.
Drawing battle lines, Democrats contended that Bush's proposal would disproportionately help the wealthy and, combined with his spending plans, would bring back federal deficits.
Senate Democratic leader Tom Daschle said earners making about $300,000 would get enough of a tax break to pay for a Lexus, while people making $50,000 a year would see only enough tax savings to buy a muffler for a used car.
Sen. Kent Conrad, a top Democrat on the budget committee said rate cuts need to be aimed more at middle- and low-income earners. "All I hear from the Bush administration about compromise is we're supposed to accept their position. We're not going to do that," said Conrad.
Retroactivity will not be part of Bush's formal submission, aides say, but the president said Monday he will fight for it. "We look forward to working with Congress to expedite money into the pockets of the American people."
Bush played down his argument that tax cuts could stimulate a slowing economy and underscored instead their bread-and-butter appeal.
"This is real and practical help when, at this time, many Americans need it," Bush said, ticking down what $1,600 could buy: a year's tuition at community college; gasoline for two cars for a year or, with a political eye on California's energy crisis, 24 months of electricity there.
At an afternoon swearing-in ceremony, Bush left the economic gloom to his new commerce secretary.
Don Evans spoke of "dark clouds" in economic indicators, saying Bush's tax plan "is timely and it is necessary."
Republican lawmakers and lobbyists already have drawn up lengthy lists of business tax breaks they want added, arguing that without them Bush's package does very little for corporate America.
Bush appeared to have those lists in mind when he said that some in Congress view his agenda "as an opportunity to load up the tax relief plan with their own vision of tax relief."
"I want the members of Congress and the American people to hear loud and clear: This is the right-sized plan, it is the right approach and I'm going to defend it mightily."
In interviews on Capitol Hill, Republican leaders hardly flinched at the warning.
House Majority Leader Dick Armey of Texas said he favors tax relief bigger than the estimated $1.6 trillion, 10-year package Bush has proposed. Armey said he would add business-oriented measures involving the capital gains tax and alternative minimum tax, plus expanded 401(k) and other pension benefits.
"My position is if you have a tax surplus beyond the president's budget, that additional money should be used for tax relief, not spending by Democrats," Armey said. "It would be our job to persuade the president."
A dozen House conservatives, led by Rep. Patrick Toomey, R-Pa., made plans to unveil on Wednesday a package accelerating and expanding on Bush's proposals.
On the Senate side, Phil Gramm, who sits on the budget and finance committees, said he agrees with Bush that this tax legislation should not be "a grab bag."
But, when asked how to address GOP interests in business tax cuts, Gramm, also from Texas, continued: "This is not the only tax cut in American history."

Junior Bri Pugh looked dangerous in attack for the Ducks, tallying four shots, two of which went on frame. Pugh provided the first scoring opportunity of the contest in the 9th minute with a shot that required a save from UC Davis goalkeeper Taylor Jern.
Ryann Davie and Maryn Beutler put a pair of shots on goal in the 13th and 18th minutes, but Jern handled each attack and the Ducks and Aggies went into the break in a 0-0 stalemate.
The Duck defense continued to turn down any UC Davis attack in the second half, but the Aggies managed to break through with five minutes remaining to steal a result. UC Davis broke on a counter attack and Sienna Drizin scored from just outside the six-yard box.
Oregon held a 3-2 edge in corners, while UC Davis finished with the slightest of advantages in shots, 13-12, and shots on goal, 6-5. Oregon drew two yellow cards in the contest.
Pugh led the way on offense with four shots. Shanelle Simien, Ryann Davie, Maryn Beutler and Kiyomi Cook each finished with a pair of shots.
Abby Steele earned the start in goal for Oregon, but didn't see any action before being subbed off in favor of freshman Lauren Holden in the 8th minute. The San Ramon, Calif., native made five saves.
Mertz tried many different combinations of players tonight, using 16 student-athletes. Earning starting caps were; Pugh, Davie, Beutler, Cook, Simien, Steele, Reilley Moore, Achijah Berry, Riley Smith, Ashlee Schulz and Kristen Parr.
The Ducks open the regular season on Friday at Papè Field, hosting Portland State. The season-opener will begin at 5 p.m. (CT).

Jeff Driskel looks the part, but he's not ready to compare himself to another running quarterback from Florida's past.
Still, the sophomore showed on Saturday why he is mentioned in the same conversation as Tim Tebow.
On a first-and-10 in the first quarter, Driskel and Omarius Hines muffed an exchange on a wide receiver sweep. Driskel picked up the bouncing ball in the midst of an oncoming pass rush and ran 10 yards for a first down.
His improvisation consistently extended drives for Florida.
"I've definitely heard those comparisons, even back in high school," Driskel said. "Just because of our body size and the way we can run the ball. It's nice to be compared, but I wouldn't go that far and say I try to be like him, or watch his film and try to be like him. But I guess we do play similar styles."
Driskel earned Southeastern Conference Offensive Player of the Week honors after racking up 219 passing yards, 81 rushing yards and two touchdowns against Tennessee.
Through his first three games this season, Driskel has 608 yards of total offense. His 113 rushing yards rank fourth among SEC quarterbacks.
In 2007, his first season as UF's starter, Tebow amassed 192 rushing yards through three games. He also won the Heisman Trophy.
Driskel may not belong in the same conversation as Tebow, but like the Heisman Trophy winner, he isn't afraid of an oncoming tackler.
"I try to make a vertical cut and get as many yards as possible," Driskel said. "I don't really try to get out of bounds."
The threat of a 6-foot-4, 237-pound running quarterback presents the same quandary for defenses that Tebow did for his three years as a starter.
Add in versatile Trey Burton, and the Gators have a deep backfield with Driskel and running back Mike Gillislee.
"A one-back set is a two-back set now," Muschamp said. "A two-back set is a three-back set. You create a lot of issues for a defense when a guy has legs at the quarterback position and all of the zone-read opportunities and the different things that you're doing in the misdirection off the run game."
Driskel used the running game to set up his passing on Saturday. On a third-and-7 in the fourth quarter, he recognized a cornerback blitz and found receiver Frankie Hammond Jr. for a 75-yard touchdown.
Gators coach Will Muschamp mentioned the play as one example of his quarterback showing his maturity on the field.
"He made really good decisions," Muschamp said. "He got us in and out of the right runs. He got us out of some run situations versus a bad run box to the other side or to a pass, and he was able to do those things at a very high level."
Muschamp named Driskel the starter ahead of Jacoby Brissett after a six-month quarterback competition. The experience of the past three weeks has improved Driskel's intangibles.
"It comes with the game reps and getting those live reps," Hammond said. "I'm sure the game is slowing down for him, and he's starting to read things out and just playing quarterback and playing fast and making good decisions."
While Driskel has started to grasp the mental aspects of quarterback, his natural ability is nothing new to his teammates.
"We hated two-minute (drills) because we turn our backs, and he takes off running," senior linebacker Jon Bostic said. "Then, we've got to turn around and run and try to catch him. So, we always knew he could run. We knew he could throw. Basically, it's just putting everything together and being able to go out and help us win the ball game."

Batali, Partners Will Pay Del Posto Workers $1.15 Million
Celebrity chef and restaurateur Mario Batali today agreed with his partners to pay $1.15 million to 31 workers at Del Posto, settling a 2010 labor dispute at his most expensive New York restaurant.
The agreement resolves claims alleging misappropriation of tips, racial discrimination, spread of hours pay, lost minimum wage and overtime, according to a joint statement from Del Posto's owners and Restaurant Opportunities Center of New York (ROC-NY), a nonprofit advocacy group for the workers.
The statement also denies "all of the workers' allegations."
Del Posto charges $115 for its five-course dinner menu, and $145 for its tasting menu.
The owners, B&B Hospitality Group, agreed to institute sensitivity training for management and an "expansion" of paid sick days and paid vacation.
In an e-mail statement, Batali said he looks "forward to working with ROC-NY to continue to foster and improve a mutually beneficial relationship with our team."
The joint statement also said the restaurant will work with ROC-NY to become a "High Road Employer" in the industry.
"We're very excited for the workers," Daisy Chung, executive director of ROC-NY, said in a telephone interview. "Del Posto will continue working with us in our High Road Program. They took a really great step in saying that they want to work with us."
Earlier this year Batali settled another tips-related lawsuit for $5.25 million.
Muse highlights include Elin McCoy on wine and Greg Evans on television.

Look! Brightly Painted Laundry Space
happier with the results... As it turns out our space was designed by a pair of Apartment Therapy readers and we couldn't be happier with their color choices throughout the home. Even though we're only renting, it's been a great place to live and a sincere pleasure to do laundry each and every time. Because the area already stood out, we went ahead and adorned it with artwork to make the space feel like a finished part of the room and our "out there for all to see" laundry space fits 100% with the rest of our decor. Would you have been bold enough to paint this laundry alcove with such a bright color (it's slightly more pink in person)? Or would you have just painted it the same color as the rest of the walls around it? Share your thoughts in the comments below! (Images: Sarah Rae Trover)

Yonder Mountain String Band is thrilled to announce an action packed 2016 Fall Tour. We will be joined by some incredible musicians, hitting some of our favorite venues and cities along the way.
October 5th – Birmingham, AL – Wordplay Theatre* October 6th – Augusta, GA – Jessye Norman Amphitheater * October 7th – Corolla, NC – Mustang Music Festival October 8th – Charlotte, NC – U.S. National Whitewater Center^ October 9th – Boone, NC – Legends at Appalachian University^ October 12th – Roanoke, VA – Jefferson Center^ October 13th – Morgantown, WV – MainStage Morgantown^ October 14th – Charlottesville, VA – The Jefferson Theater^ October 15th – Washington, DC – 9:30 Club^ October 16th – Ardmore, PA – The Ardmore Music Hall^ October 19th-20th – Brooklyn, NY – Brooklyn Bowl+ October 21st – Boston, MA – Paradise Rock Club+ October 22 – South Burlington, VT – Higher Ground Ballroom+ October 23 – Portland, ME – Port City Music Hall+ October 26 – Ann Arbor, MI – The Ark+ October 27 – Milwaukee, WI – Turner Hall Ballroom+ October 28th – Minneapolis, MN – First Avenue+ October 29th – Chicago, IL – House of Blues+ October 30th – Omaha, NE – The Waiting Room + Fruition – * Billy Strings – ^ Pert Near Sandstone – +
We kick things off October 5th in Birmingham, AL and October 6th in Augusta, GA, with our good friends Fruition!
The first time they ever made music together, Fruition's three lead singer-songwriters discovered that their voices naturally blended into beautiful three-part harmonies. In the eight years since that impromptu busking session, the Portland, Oregon-based quintet has grown from a rootsy, string-centric outfit to a full-fledged rock band with an easy but powerful grasp of soul, blues, and British Invasion era pop. More information on Fruition: http://www.fruitionband.com
Billy Strings joins us beginning on October 8th in Charlotte, NC, as we make our way through the Southeast and East Coast.
"Billy Strings is a 20 yr old, tattoo covered guitar picker/singer that you surely will be hearing about for years to come. "Blessed with the voice of an old soul from the mountains, a gentlemanly air, and the ability to sling hundreds of notes with razor-crisp precision at the speed of a machine gun, Strings' flat-picking talent seems almost beyond comprehension to veterans of the local bluegrass scene, especially given his youth." – Northern Express Publications. More information on Billy Strings: http://www.billystrings.com
Pert Near Sandstone hops aboard the train, kicking things off with a double header at the Brooklyn Bowl in Brooklyn, NY October 19th & 20th, We'll make our way through the Midwest, with tour closing shows at the House of Blues in Chicago on October 29th, and The Waiting Room in Omaha, NE on October 30th.
Pert Near Sandstone emerged from the same roots-based musical hotbed in Minneapolis that gave birth to Bob Dylan, The Jayhawks and Spider John Koerner. Originally formed by four friends from the same hometown, Pert Near Sandstone formed unintentionally over weekly, whiskey-fueled picking sessions in an old house in St. Paul, MN. They decided without any real intentions to start playing shows and the chemistry of their music and friendships, even early on, left people feeling like the party followed them everywhere they went. Word of the bands' uncanny ability to whip audiences into frenzies spread and they were invited to play some of Minnesota's most legendary venues including First Avenue, the Cedar Cultural Center and the Historic Orpheum Theater.

#HustleKindness Friday – "Peach Party On The Rocks" Re-Cap
- Posted By: Kelsy Woodson
- August 26th, 2016
- No Comments »
This #HustleKindness Friday, we look back to our soundcheck last week when we teamed up with the non-profit organization, Peach's Neet Feet. We hosted the first "Peach Party On The Rocks", which allowed children who have different disabilities or life illnesses to attend our sound-check at Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
We had two special guests, named Jaden and Jayden, who were the recipients of Peach's Neet Feet customized shoes. Through the proceeds we generated by selling our Red Rocks #HustleKindness shirts (see below), we sponsored two pairs of shoes to be given to these kids. Here is a little about each of the recipients:
Jaden is visually impaired and at 11 years old, he is an aspiring cello player! He's already played at Red Rocks with the Colorado Symphony and visited us while we were in the studio a couple weeks ago. Peach's Neet Feet was able to put together a pair of customized shoes featuring a cello, his favorite greek god, Apollo, and his name in braille on his shoes!
Jayden is 13 years old and is partially deaf. She loves animals and someday would love to become a veterinarian. She participates in horse therapy and ride horses twice a week. Her customized shoes featured her favorite animal!
PNF celebrates children with through art and attempts to bring together individuals, families and supports through shared experiences. PNF's core teachings include being selfless and sharing talents while affirming the positive effects of acting with kindness and living a purposeful life. PNF finds sponsors for each child. These sponsors fund hand-painted shoes that are delivered by Peach's Neet Feet. Each child has something that makes them unique – whether it's a struggle with a life-illness or diagnosis that makes these children unique – its the simple act of kindness that makes their day and creates a sense of community.

Yonder Mountain String Band at Red Rocks Amphitheatre on August 20th

Yonder Mountain String Band returns to our home-state venue Red Rocks Amphitheatre on Saturday, August 20, 2016.
Accompanying YMSB for this year's homecoming, we welcome Drive-By Truckers, as well as special guests Preservation Hall Jazz Band. This powerful and eclectic line-up features the amazing soulful southern rock of Drive-By Truckers, the rich jazz tradition of New Orleans with Preservation Hall, plus the original blend of bluegrass and progressive jam-improvisations of Yonder Mountain.
For nearly 18 years, Yonder Mountain String Band has redefined bluegrass music, expanding the traditional acoustic genre beyond its previously established boundaries by steadily pushing the envelope into the realms of rock n' roll and improvisation. Notoriously independent, Yonder Mountain String Band has paved the path for a genre and sound as unique as the band itself.
Yonder Mountain String Band consisting of Adam Aijala (guitar, vocals), Dave Johnston (banjo, vocals), Ben Kaufmann (bass, vocals), Allie Kral (violin, vocals), and Jacob Jolliff (mandolin, vocals) — began a new era for the band with the release of Black Sheep. The first YMSB album produced by the band itself, Black Sheep is, by any measure, considered the most mesmeric of their career. Black Sheep marks the first time in Yonder's history that they utilized, throughout an entire record, the conventional five-piece instrumental arsenal of bluegrass music (guitar, mandolin, banjo, fiddle and bass), proving yet again that the band continues to be a progressive
Yonder Mountain String Band will feature original tunes pulled from the recent release Black Sheep, along with an arsenal of originals and re-invented covers of classic hits that span a variety of genres to create a Yonder experience like none before.
Drive By Truckers
Co-founded by Patterson Hood (guitar, vocals) and Mike Cooley (guitar, vocals), the alternative country five-piece Drive-By Truckers also includes Brad Morgan (drums), Jay Gonzalez (keyboards, guitar, vocals, accordion, saw), and Matt Patton (bass, vocals). Their 12th studio album, English Oceans (March 2014; ATO Records) is an elegantly balanced and deeply engaged effort that finds the group refreshed and firing on all cylinders. Drive-By Truckers recently released their long awaited live album, It's Great To Be Alive: Recorded Live at The Fillmore (October 2015), which was recorded over a three-night run at the historic Fillmore in San Francisco, CA.
Preservation Hall Jazz Band
The New Orleans jazz band Preservation Hall Jazz Band got their name directly from the Preservation Hall venue located in the French Quarter. Preservation Hall was among the few NOLA venues that welcomed both Caucasian and African-American musicians during the early 1960s when the Jazz Band first got its start. The current line-up includes Joe Lastie Jr. (drums, backing vocals), Clint Maedgen (tenor saxophone, baritone saxophone, vocals), Rickie Monie (piano), Mark Braud (trumpet, backing vocals), Ronell Johnson (tuba, piano, vocals), Charlie Gabriel (clarinet, tenor saxophone, vocals) and Ben Jaffe (tuba, string bass, banjo, percussion, backing vocals). In 2013, Preservation Hall Jazz Band released their first album, That's It!, consisting of all original material written over the course of their more than 50-year career.

Yonder Mountain Teams Up with Non-Profit, Peach's Neet Feet for Red Rocks

Yonder Mountain String Band has teamed up with the non-profit organization, Peach's Neet Feet, to host the first "Peach Party On The Rocks", which will allow children who have different disabilities or life illnesses to attend our sound-check and performance at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. We are also ambassadors for the movement called "Hustle Kindness" which is the simple reminder to "hustle" kindness everyday. Not to just "be kind" but "do kind" things for others! We will be selling limited Red Rocks T-shirt (available in mens and womens) that supports the cause and the philanthropic efforts of Peach's Neet Feet! Stop by our merchandise booth for your limited edition #HustleKindness shirts.
Peach's Neet Feet (PNF) ignited the Hustle Kindness movement as an extension of its main mission.
Hustle Kindness Friday begins with wearing the T-shirts that boldly display the motto and then capturing it on social media with the hashtag #HustleKindness. This social media campaign is simple in its mission: to remind people to care about a cause, community, and their fellow humans. This communal experience is rooted in kindness and seeks to remind people to act with kindness. It encourages people to get out there and "hustle" and not just think about being kind and doing good. A simple mission that invites everybody to participate in this push to make the world a better place rooted in empathy and kind acts.
Peach's Neet Feet – What about those shoes?
PNF celebrates children with through art and attempts to bring together individuals, families and supports through shared experiences. PNF's core teachings include being selfless and sharing talents while affirming the positive effects of acting with kindness and living a purposeful life. PNF finds sponsors for each child. These sponsors fund hand-painted shoes that are delivered by Peach's Neet Feet. Each child has something that makes them unique – whether it's a struggle with a life-illness or diagnosis that makes these children unique – its the simple act of kindness that makes their day and creates a sense of community.
Meet the Kids from Peach's Neet Feet who will be joining us at the "Peach Party" on August 20th
My name is Jayden Parson and I am 13 years old and in the 8th grade. I love animals and someday would love to become a veterinarian. I participate in horse therapy and ride horses twice a week. I enjoy art, being outdoors, camping, and listening to music.
Brody is 13 years old. He loves playing soccer, baseball and watching the Denver Broncos. He also loves playing with his five dogs and video games. He enjoys the outdoors and food. He is a super, amazing and wonderful kid!
Annabelle has cerebral palsy. She is 7 years old. She loves gymnastics, reading, exploring, and experiencing new things. She keeps her parents busy with her new found independence and loves motoring around a denver in her walker wearing out her new walking shoes.
Jaden is visually impaired. He is 11 years old and plays the chelo and music. He's actually already played at Red Rocks but looks forward to returning to the venue! He also likes to ski, ride his bike, to read Greek mythology, and rock climb. The sky is the limit for him.

None of this is fair. The whole idea of relocating sports franchises is disturbing and wrong. Families are robbed of a source of togetherness. Kids miss out on a fundamental joy of growing up. A city is robbed of that comforting notion that there is a team in town, a notion as reassuring as a heartbeat.

Rowena and Cain were married in Dingle, Ireland. They only had €7000 to spend but still managed to create a gorgeous and meaningful day with a little imagination and a lot of elbow grease!
"Our theme was Dia de Los Muertos meets the Owl and the Pussycat", explained the bride. "Bright, vintage, musical, quirky and memorable. This theme ran throughout from the vintage style Save the Date cards complete with his 'n hers skulls, the wedding invitations which were made from real 7inch records, the Sailor Jerry style wedding programme which had old style tattoos on it, the wedding cake and bridesmaids' dresses. The reception tables had painted sugar skulls on with ladybird books, filled tea cups, birdcages and flowers in jars."
Rowena bought her dress second-hand from eBay and had it customised into a 1930 style. She fell in love with the dresses of that time period after watching one too many movies set in that era!
"In Ireland, weddings still tend to be quite traditional and never really deviate from each other", she continued. "We wanted to have something different and therefore memorable, one of those weddings that stands out and looks like something from a film or from a magazine. I decided early on that I would not follow any of the 'rules' that brides and grooms feel compelled to adhere to. I never went to any wedding shops, I didn't have fresh flowers, we didn't have a DJ or a first dance, there was no set seating and nobody gave me away. The whole day was very off the cuff yet totally relaxed."

Inexpensive Kitchen Countertops
Searching for a stylish but affordable material for your kitchen countertop? Don't snub your nose at inexpensive kitchen countertop surfaces like laminate.
How to Update Your Kitchen Without Breaking the BankSee All Photos
Consider that between the brands Formica and Wilsonart, more than 325 colors and patterns are available. This makes it nearly impossible to not find the style that works for you.
And if that's not great news, consider the price: at $12 to $40 per square foot installed, you'll save a small fortune in comparison to more expensive stone surfaces like granite and marble.
Beyond laminate, other inexpensive, easy-to-maintain surfaces include solid wood and butcher block countertops as well as ceramic tile countertops. In addition, solid-surface countertops like Corian shouldn't be overlooked. Corian, in fact, once enjoyed the status granite does today and was known for its seamless installation and the ability to easily integrate sinks and backsplashes.
Unexpected materials like concrete or glass are more recently trending countertop materials, as they not only make a statement but also offer plenty of personalization options, from stains and dyes (concrete) to LED illumination (glass).
