Laundromat Worker Sues for Wage Violations
A former solo laundromat attendant in Oakland is suing her employer claiming gross violations of minimum wage and overtime laws. The plaintiff Veronica Martínez claims that she frequently worked over 12 hours a day for six and sometimes seven days in a row for as little as $2 an hour. The lawsuit, Milagro Verónica Martínez de Angel v. Tuyen T. Nguyen dba Pro Coin Laundry, et al., was filed today in the Northern District of California and claims the defendants violated the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, the California Labor Code and unlawfully terminated Ms. Martínez in violation of public policy. Ms. Martínez is represented by The Legal Aid Society–Employment Law Center (LAS–ELC).
In the lawsuit, Ms. Martínez alleges that she worked at the Pro Coin laundromat from the time it opened at 7 a.m. until it closed at 8 or 9 p.m., six to seven days a week with one half-hour unpaid break for lunch—amounting to approximately 75 hours per week. For her work, Ms. Martínez claims she was paid a fixed bi-weekly salary that began at $300 and was eventually raised to $400.
Ms. Martínez also claims she often informed her employer that she was being underpaid for the hours she was required to work and that on at least one occasion her employer reacted violently to her request and punched her several times on her right arm.
"If proven, this would fall under the very definition of 'wage theft'," said Charlotte Noss, Skadden Fellow at The Legal Aid Society–Employment Law Center. "We would have an unscrupulous employer taking advantage of a hard working employee and paying them next to nothing—with no regard to state or federal labor laws whatsoever."
The employer is also charged with retaliating against Ms. Martínez once she asserted her workplace rights. After failing to convince her employer to pay her proper wages, she contacted the LAS–ELC's Workers' Rights Clinic. Shortly thereafter, the LAS–ELC sent a demand letter to Pro Coin Laundry on Ms. Martínez' behalf. Three days later, according to Ms. Martínez, the Defendants attempted to force Ms. Martínez to fill out an employment application and an I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification form. Ms. Martínezclaims that she had never been asked to fill out any paper work during her prior 15 months of employment at the laundromat. When she refused to sign the papers, Ms. Martínez was suspended.
"These allegations involve just one case, but we understand that situations similar to the allegations of Ms. Martínez' happen every day, all over the country," said Fernando Flores, Wage and Hour Litigation Program Director at The Legal Aid Society–Employment Law Center. "Lawsuits like this can send a very important message to bad actors: Wage Theft is Illegal. Workers have rights, and this includes adequate payment of all labor performed and to be free from retaliatory practices in asserting these rights."

Excellent product, great company
By Lorelie
from Winchester, TN
I use these shoes for shopping. They are great and i have had no problems. Even threw them into the washer, but not the dryer i just let them sit on my tub for a few hours. With the continued warm weather they dryed outside in a few minutes.
Great indoor or outdoor sandal
By Happy feet
from Bedford, NY
Love these sandals! I use them more as a house slipper but they would work as a casual sandal if that is the look you like. They are well cushioned and because the sole is rubber the are are good on slippery floors.

About a month ago, a friend of mine, her son, my brothers and I all went out for a round of mini golf. After about four holes, she was kicking our butts. I looked at her and said, "You don't understand, we don't sport." Just like that, not we haven't played mini-golf, not we aren't very good, we don't sport.Over all, it's very true. My brothers and I are kids that were more comfortable in other areas in school - band, debate, orchestra, theater. The things as far from sport as possible.

If you had to, how long could you last without touching your phone? Take a look around, how many people do you see on their cell phones? It seems almost impossible in a roomful of people, there is not at least one person on their phone. That is the way we live though, our days aren't spent in the pursuit of food, shelter or water. Our days are spent keeping in touch with everyone we have ever had a passing interaction with. To many people in developed countries our phones are our most valuable asset.

The first question I can remember being asked as a child was, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" I am sure there were other questions like "how old are you" and "did you eat the last cookie?" But overwhelmingly the question about what I want to be when I grew up always came up. I have bounced between grand to absurd ideas. For a while I wanted to physically be my father when I grew up, I guess I wanted to morph into him, I am not sure, I was three at the time and didn't really think things through. The older I got the more tangible my ideas became.

2013 has come to an end. Parties and noisemakers abound, kisses at midnight and a new beginning.
And with the new year come resolutions, little promises we make to ourselves for the next 12 months. Everyone seems to make the same decision: Lose weight.
Our culture is obsessed with the idea of a thin, trim body. Men and women, boys and girls; it doesn't matter where you fall on the spectrum, we all have this idea of what we want to look like.

I could have written a novel.
That is the conclusion I came to now that National Novel Writing Month is over. I could have written a novel. Instead, I played Candy Crush. I mean I played a lot of Candy Crush. That's where my November was spent, hours and hours of virtual candy crushing.

My LO just started thumb sucking and I noticed she hasn't wanted to eat as much or it's been a struggle to get her to take the breast. This is the only new thing I could think of. Does this happen? Has anyone else experienced this? Perhaps I am worrying prematurely, but she went two 5 hour stretches without eating which she never does. If it was one 5 hour stretch and she had been sleeping the whole time I wouldn't have worried, but one time she was awake for a good two hours before she would consider taking the breast. Before that she screamed everytime I tried to put her to the breast after she had just woken up from a nap where she thumb sucked.
So does thumb sucking make a baby want to eat less? Why all of a sudden is it becoming a struggle to get her to eat? Am I overreacting?

"You don't act like you're thirty, Mom." I can't quite tell if it's embarrassment or amazement coming from my 12-year-old's mouth. I take a shot in the dark: "You mean I'm acting too old?" I try to hide the worry in my voice. I was excited to hit my third decade last month, but the last thing I was looking for was to be OLD.
As any responsible journalist would, I do my best never to pass up a free meal.
Most of us, after all, are not in this business to make money – as our meager salaries clearly indicate. Most of us regard our jobs as a kind of service – an important role within our community.
"You know, it's going to be hard when mother dies," my mom confided to my big brother Roger recently. In the late stages of dementia, sometimes my mom thinks that Roger is her youngest brother Dexter, who died more than 25 years ago. Now in her 80s she still mourns for her mom and her little brother.
Some of you may have noticed, or heard by now, that the Beacon's office is a little… different.
Suspended Levy County Commissioner Tony Parker was sentenced to six months house arrest, five years probation and 500 hours of community service on Wednesday afternoon by Federal Chief District Judge Stephan P. Mickle.
Parker, along with Commission Chair Sammy Yearty was convicted of soliciting and accepting a $10,000 bribe from an undercover FBI agent posing as a developer. Yearty was also convicted of lying to the FBI during an interview and will be sentenced on May 5.
The news was good for job seekers in Levy County in March as the jobless rate dropped to 13.5 percent, down from February's rate of 14.2 percent.
That means out of 16,633 people in the civilian labor force, 14,390 were employed and 2,243 were unemployed.
It's the first good news on the county's job front since October 2009 when the rate was 12.4 percent. The county's unemployment rate has sat stubbornly above 12 percent since July 2009.
New business openings and business expansions in Cedar Key mark a trend that defies the current climate of recession, giving the island community more variety for consumers and a dose of economic hope. In this multi-part series, the Beacon examines more than a dozen businesses located on the major arteries of State Road 24, 2nd Street and Dock Street that have opened or expanded on the island since last summer. The Cedar Closet, a clothing store located on SR24, opened in November and has been steadily increasing its inventory ever since.
By executive order, Governor Charlie Crist added 13 counties this morning to the original six included in Florida's State of Emergency due to the Deepwater Horizon Incident.
The coastal counties of Franklin, Wakulla, Jefferson, Taylor, Dixie, Levy, Citrus, Hernando, Pasco, Pinellas, Hillsborough, Manatee and Sarasota join already declared Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, Walton, Bay and Gulf.
"Due to operational changes in the trajectory of the oil spill, we have decided not to activate the Levy EOC at this time," Levy County Director of Emergency Management Mark Johnson said. "We are ready to go to a Level 2 activation at a moments notice."
Johnson said the decision came late Wednesday afternoon, after the announcement was made that the EOC would activate earlier that morning.
Monday Governor Charlie Crist declared a State of Emergency in Levy and 12 additional counties in response to the to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. So far Crist has declared a State of Emergency in 19 coastal counties along the panhandle and the west coast of Florida.

Deputy Lt. John Davis said the investigation involved some missing money from an inmate's property.
As soon as Sheriff Carlos Carrizales, Jr. heard that money was missing he ordered Davis and the Criminal Investigations Division to look into the matter.
The jailer arrested Tuesday has been identified as Angel Perez. Information about the investigation was not released until Wednesday afternoon — past this newspaper's press deadline.
We will have more on this story in the weekend edition of the Beeville Bee-Picayune.

Make hearty soups with leftovers sitting in your fridge
Easy Soup Idea
by Leanne Ely CNC
As winter descends upon us, the chill in the air makes our stomachs yearn for hearty soups. Soup is one of the best comfort foods around and it's very versatile in the sense that you can wing it depending on what ingredients are available. There's no need to follow a recipe. Some of the best soups are concocted as a way to use up leftovers that are sitting in your fridge. Here are a few helpful meal planning soup ideas using leftovers.
Leftover spaghetti sauce can be transformed into a tasty Italian soup called Pasta e Fagioli. Just thin the sauce out with water to make it more soup-like and throw in some cooked elbow macaroni. This soup gets its heft from garbanzo beans, so add a generous amount of beans to the pot. For rounding out the meal, add a salad and some whole grain bread with Parmesan sprinkled over the top of the soup.
When you have a bit of chicken left over but not quite enough to feed everyone, turn it into a meal by making chicken and rice soup. Brown rice is a great way to sneak in some fiber and nutrients and makes this a much better choice than chicken noodle soup. Chop and boil a few carrots, a few pieces of celery, and an onion in chicken stock until soft. Then shred your leftover chicken and toss it in. Add cooked brown rice and serve.
Leftover vegetables can almost always be boiled and pureed to create a comforting soup. Potatoes, squash, carrots, and leeks are the best candidates for this method. Simply boil and then strain the vegetables into a blender and blend until smooth, adding the reserved cooking water until you reach the desired consistency. Bits of leftover ham or other meat can turn this into a quick, healthy meal with a pleasing texture.
Of course if you prefer you can start with a soup recipe and improvise from there. Don't be scared to try new things. With enough planning and organization, you'll be able to "wing it" without even thinking if you keep your pantry organized and stocked with the essentials.

Chest Pain Center
Buffalo General Medical Center has full Cycle III Chest Pain Center Accreditation with PCI from the National Society of Chest Pain Centers, making it the first hospital in New York State to successfully undergo review under the newest and most stringent standards.
PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) refers to a variety of procedures used to treat patients with diseased arteries of the heart caused by a build-up of fats, cholesterol, and other substances from the blood (referred to as plaque) that can reduce blood flow and lead to chest pain or a heart attack.
Buffalo General has also received full Heart Failure Accreditation status from the Society of Chest Pain Centers (SCPC).
Emergency Heart (Cardiac) Care available:
24 hours a day – 7 days a week
The Chest Pain Center team at Buffalo General MedicalCenter is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, providing:
- Timely, quality treatment for patients with heart attack symptoms
- State-of-the-art technology for diagnosis and treatment
- Multidisciplinary team trained in cardiac care
Point of Entry – The Emergency Department
Because every minute counts when someone is experiencing chest pain, the point of entry for chest pain patients is the Emergency Department.
The Chest Pain Center's Mission
If you or someone you know experiences any of the following symptoms of Acute Coronary Syndrome, call 911 immediately:
- Chest pain
- Shortness of breath
- Nausea
- Vomitting
- Sweating
- Palpitations
- Anxiety or sense of impending doom
- A feeling of being acutely ill
- Pain or discomfort in one or both arms, shoulders, the back, the neck, jaw or stomach
To provide highly specialized quality care, rapid assessment and treatment of patients who arrive at the Emergency Department with symptoms commonly associated with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), often called heart attack.
Chest pain? Find out why it hurts...
More than five million Americans visit hospital emergency rooms each year with chest pain. It can be intense and occur suddenly, or it can be experienced slowly over time with mild discomfort.
Although it is serious and can be very frightening, chest pain isn't always heart stopping. That's why finding out the reason for chest pain is so important. The majority of people experiencing chest pain are generally not having a heart attack, but every minute saved for those who are having a heart attack saves valuable heart muscle that can never be regained once lost.
Anyone experiencing chest pain, or any of the symptoms below, should call 9-1-1 and go to the Emergency Department at Buffalo General right away!
Frequently Asked Questions
What is acute coronary syndrome (ACS)?
Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) is a medical term. It refers to the circumstances that occur when fatty deposits lining the arteries supplying the heart with oxygen break off and plug up the flow of blood and oxygen to the heart muscle, starting the process that can evolve into a heart attack or "myocardial infarction." ACS requires immediate medical attention, since current treatments can often limit or reverse possible damage to the heart muscle.
What is acute coronary syndrome (ACS)?
Chest pain/discomfort at rest or during mild exertion is the most common and major symptom of ACS.
Other common symptoms: shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, sweating, palpitations, anxiety or sense of impending doom, a feeling of being acutely ill, pain or discomfort in one or both arms, shoulders, the back, the neck, the jaw or stomach.
Many patients do not describe their symptoms as chest "pain" but rather as "discomfort," which may include, chest pressure, heaviness, a squeezing sensation or tightness in the chest, or even a burning sensation in the pit of the stomach that persist for 15 minutes or longer.
Risk Factors for ACS
- Age greater than 45 years (men) or 55 years (women)
- Diabetes
- Family history of heart disease
- High cholesterol
- High blood pressure
- Cigarette smoking
- Being overweight or obese
How is ACS diagnosed and treated?
When patients arrive at the Buffalo General Medical Center Emergency Department, they are rapidly assessed by emergency personnel and heart specialists. "Rapid Assessment" involves blood tests to check for heart muscle damage, a physical examination, and discussion about symptoms and medical history. An ECG (electrocardiogram) is performed to help determine diagnoses, while appropriate pain management is started immediately. Such prompt treatment can relieve symptoms and reduce possible damage to the heart. These treatments may involve painkillers, oxygen, aspirin, and nitroglycerin to ease chest pain. (Depending on test results, patients may require more intensive procedures.)
What should I do if I have chest pain or discomfort?
Chest pain or discomfort should never be ignored, especially if you have coronary heart disease. If chest pain or discomfort lasts longer than 15 minutes and doesn't go away when at rest, call 9-1-1 and go to the Emergency Department at Buffalo General Medical Center.
Women & Heart Disease
One of the most common mistakes people make about heart disease is in thinking that it primarily affects men. Believe it or not, heart disease kills more women than men every year. In fact, it is the No. 1 killer of women in the United States.
Unfortunately, women across the nation don't always take their risk of heart disease seriously—or personally. They often fail to make the connection between risk factors and their own chance of developing heart disease.
Experts of the Chest Pain Center have provided the following information to encourage women to talk to their doctors about their risk of developing heart disease – but more importantly – to do something to lower that risk.
Symptoms of Heart Disease — For Women
Women may experience early symptoms of heart disease differently than men. The symptoms in women can be far subtler, which means it is even more important to pay close attention to the signs and seek medical attention right away.
- Shortness of breath, often without chest pain of any kind
- Flu-like symptoms — specifically nausea, clamminess or cold sweats
- Unexplained fatigue, weakness or dizziness
- Pain in the chest, upper back, shoulders, neck, or jaw
- Feelings of anxiety, loss of appetite, discomfort
If these symptoms are present, call 9-1-1 and go to the Emergency Doom at Buffalo General Medical Center for the highly specialized care provided by the Chest Pain Center
Note: Individual symptoms, situations, and circumstances may vary. The information provided is not intended to be used for medical diagnosis or treatment, or as a substitute for professional medical advice.
Risk Factors of Heart Disease – For Women
Risk factors are conditions or habits that make a person more likely to develop a disease. They can also increase the chances that an existing disease will get worse.
Unfortunately, most women fail to make the connection between risk factors and their personal risk of developing heart disease. Below are risk factors we hope you'll pay attention to and talk to your doctor about.
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Diabetes
- Smoking
- Being overweight
- A family history of heart disease
- Not physically active
- Under stress
- Are postmenopausal or over the age of 55
Changing Habits To Lower Risk of Heart Disease – For Women
Some risk factors, such as age and family history of early heart disease, can't be changed. Fortunately, there are many risk factors that can be changed.
Women who have gone through early menopause, either naturally or because they have had a hysterectomy, are twice as likely to develop heart disease as women of the same age who have not yet gone through menopause. If an immediate family member had a heart attack before age 55, an individual is more likely to get heart disease.
Regardless of age, background, or health status, lowering heart disease is attainable and can be as simple as taking a walk, eating healthier, stopping smoking or reducing stress. Reducing heart disease risk means reducing risk factors.

Police: Landlord lied about tenant putting her head through wallMarch 23,2013BENNINGTON A South Stream Road landlord was arraigned on Monday on a misdemeanor charge of calling in a false alarm after police said he falsely accused one of his tenants of putting her head through a wall and causing damage and destruction to her Beech Street apartment.
Thomas R. Dwyer Jr., 57, pleaded innocent to the charge in Bennington criminal court Monday. He was released without bail.
In an affidavit, Cpl. Andy Hunt, of the Bennington Police Department, said Dwyer called police on Feb. 27 around 3:40 p.m. Based on Dwyers description, three police officers and the Bennington Rescue Squad were dispatched to the apartment.
However, the tenant told police she didnt put her head through the wall. She said there was a hole in the wall put there by her ex-boyfriend three weeks previously and that she had reported it to Dwyer the day after it happened. On Feb. 27, she told police, she was having a problem because there was a raccoon in the ceiling of her apartment.
Dwyer told police he had been in the basement of the building and heard a loud bang. He said the tenant told him about the raccoon but he didnt believe her. Dwyer admitted that when he saw the size and shape of the hole in the wall, he assumed she had put her head through the wall.
Hunt said he told Dwyer he was being charged with providing a false alarm, and Dwyer then denied telling police his tenant put her head through the wall until he was told the call was recorded.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON Long-term U.S. Full StoryMONTPELIER The Vermont attorney generals office says drug companies have complied with a state...

A Boy Scout's project to put up a flagpole at his Arizona high school came to a halt, all because a condo association demanded more insurance coverage.
However, the association changed its tune after receiving pressure from Phoenix TV station KPHO and other media outlets.
Kyle Tucker, 16, had an American flag donated to him by the American Legion. It's supposed to go up at the Arizona Agribusiness and Equine Center in Avondale.
"We're going to put it right here, in the middle-ish. Right here so all the traffic can see it, realize we're a school," Tucker said.
But the condo association's demands almost killed the project, which is one of Tucker's last requirements to advance to Eagle Scout.
School principal Dr. Ramon Ramirez said the Coronado Professional Condominium Association requested an additional half-million dollar rider to their $4 million insurance policy.
The condo association establishes rules for the school and four businesses located in the commercial complex.
"What a cost hullabaloo," Ramirez said. "Why? Why? Why waste this money? It's hard-earned money. It's taxpayer's money. Why do that? Just let them put the flagpole up."
Along with getting the flag donated, Tucker already received the necessary city permits, raised $400 in cash and found a construction company to donate materials and labor.
Ramirez said despite the runaround, or because of it, Tucker has learned a valuable lesson in leadership.
"A second lesson that this child can learn is about facing bureaucracy. That's all not fair, though. We like to think of the more positive that he is learning about leadership and being a leader. But sadly, and I do mean that, sadly, he's learning about red tape," Ramirez said.
Tucker agrees, and said he also learned about the power of media.
After receiving calls from KPHO and other media outlets, the condo association dropped its demands for the rider.
The project is back on.

Residents have been rallying against the Public Land Development Corporation or PLDC for months. On Monday, Hawaii lawmakers voted on a bill that could kill the new state department.
For the past six months, many have complained about the formation of the PLDC.
"I will not have a dictator agency in this stupid state," said one upset resident at a meeting in Hilo last August.
The state office was set up in 2012 to develop public lands and generate revenue for the Department of Land and Natural resources. What it has generated instead is a lot of anger and distrust by residents.
"Is this what we want to do, steal our future and steal the public lands?" asked Big Island resident Margaret Wille.
Over the weekend, almost all the testimony during a house hearing called for lawmakers to get rid of the development corporation, which aims to create public private partnerships to improve communities.
"Lets get down to just repealing the PLDC," said Maui resident Mahina Martin.
Lawmakers listened but did not pass any measures, either to repeal the PLDC or make changes to it.
"I had hoped people would come with an argument in favor of the PLDC, so we could salvage it, but I didn't hear that at all," said Rep. Cindy Evans, the chair of the Water and Land Committee.
Instead lawmakers got the message loud and clear.
"Public lands are not to be sold," said Kaimuki resident Keiko Bonk.
"I think many wanted this issue of homerule. Because of what they wanted in our communities, residents felt they were being bypassed by the Public Land Development Corporation," said Evans.
In Monday's session, the two house committees which had originally heard five bills related to the PLDC only passed a single measure -- unanimously, to repeal the PLDC.
"I think we showed true representation of the community sentiment. I was happy we reflected what the community wanted," stated Evans.
The bill will now go to the full House of Representatives for a vote. If it passes, then the measure to repeal the PLDC would shift to the senate later this legislative session.

Any time there are multiple threads of program logic that access the same data, and execute at the same time, problems arise. Programs normally assume that the data with which they are interacting is not changing underneath them. The portions of code that access these shared data structures are known as critical sections, and the practice of only letting one run at a time is known as mutual exclusion. This situation arises in AJAX applications when the code, asynchronously handling the reply from an
XMLHttpRequest, manipulates data that is also being used by the user interface code. This common data could be JavaScript variables implementing an MVC data model and/or the DOM of the web page itself. The logic of each will break if either is making uncoordinated changes to shared data.
"Wait," you say, "why haven't I run into this problem?" Unfortunately, these kinds of problems are timing dependent (a.k.a. race conditions), so they don't always (or even ever) occur. They are probabilistic based on a number of factors. To be robust, rich internet applications need to prevent this situation by ensuring that these problems can't occur.
Of the several mutual exclusion algorithms in the computer science literature, one known as Lamport's bakery algorithm works for multiple competing threads of control when the only communication between them is shared memory (i.e., no special mechanisms like semaphores, atomic set-and-test, etc. are required). The metaphor for this algorithm is a bakery that requires customers to take a number and wait until their number is called. The skeleton of the algorithm (from Wikipedia) is in Listing 1 and it enables each thread to go into and out of critical sections without conflict.
// declaration & initial values of global variables
Enter, Number: array [1..N] of integer = {0};
// logic used by each thread...
// where "(a, b) < (c, d)"
// means "(a < c) or ((a == c) and (b < d))"
Thread(i) {
while (true) {
Enter [i] = 1;
Number[i] = 1 + max(Number[1],...,Number[N]);
Enter [i] = 0;
for (j=1; j<=N; ++j) {
while (Enter[j] != 0) {
// wait until thread j receives its number
while ((Number[j]!=0)
&& ((Number[j],j) < (Number[i],i))) {
// wait until threads with smaller numbers
// or with the same number, but with higher
// priority, finish their work
// critical section...
Number[i] = 0;
// non-critical section...
Listing 1. Lamport's bakery algorithm pseudocode
As shown, the algorithm assumes that each thread knows its own thread number (constant
i) and how many total threads are currently active (constant
N). It also assumes that there is a way to wait or sleep; i.e. a way to give up control of the CPU to other threads temporarily. Unfortunately, JavaScript on Internet Explorer doesn't have any of these capabilities. However, the bakery algorithm doesn't break if multiple portions of code running on the same actual thread pretend that each is running on a separate virtual thread. Also, JavaScript does have a mechanism to schedule a function to run after some specified delay, so, the bakery algorithm can be finessed to use these alternatives.

An approach that overcomes these obstacles springboards off of the Command design pattern. By putting into a command object all of the logic that should go into a critical section, along with all of the data needed to initiate that logic, the bakery algorithm can be reworked into a class that manages commands. This mutual exclusion class will invoke critical sections (encapsulated as separate command object methods) only when other critical sections are not executing, as if each were in its own virtual thread. JavaScript's
setTimeout() mechanism is used to yield the CPU to other waiting commands.
Given a simple base class for command objects (
Command in Listing 2), a class can be defined (
Mutex in Listing 3) that implements the Wallace variation of the bakery algorithm. Note that, while there are many approaches to implementing class-based objects in JavaScript (and for compactness, a simple approach is used here), any object scheme will work with this technique as long as each command object has some unique
id, and entire critical sections are encapsulated in single methods.
1 function Command() { 2 if (!Command.NextID) Command.NextID = 0; 3 this.id = ++Command.NextID; 4 // unsynchronized API 5 this.doit = function(){ alert("DOIT called"); } 6 this.undo = function(){ alert("UNDO called"); } 7 this.redo = function(){ this.doit(); } 8 // synchronized API 9 this.sDoIt = function(){ new Mutex(this,"doit"); } 10 this.sUnDo = function(){ new Mutex(this,"undo"); } 11 this.sReDo = function(){ new Mutex(this,"redo"); } 12 }Listing 2. Simple base class for
Command class happens to demonstrate three critical section methods (lines 5-7), but any method can be used as long as its invocation is wrapped in a
Mutex object (as in lines 9-11). It's important to note a key difference between normal method calls (such as invoking the unsynchronized methods) and synchronized method calls: ironically, one must assume that synchronized methods are not run synchronously. In other words, when
sDoIt() is called, one must assume that
doit() has not run yet, even though
sDoIt() has returned. The
doit() method may have finished, or it may not even start until some arbitrary time in the future. In still other words, think of a
Mutex instantiation as starting a new thread.
1 function Mutex( cmdObject, methodName ) { 2 // define static field and method 3 if (!Mutex.Wait) Mutex.Wait = new Map(); 4 Mutex.SLICE = function( cmdID, startID ) { 5 Mutex.Wait.get(cmdID).attempt( Mutex.Wait.get(startID) ); 6 } 7 // define instance method 8 this.attempt = function( start ) { 9 for (var j=start; j; j=Mutex.Wait.next(j.c.id)) { 10 if (j.enter 11 || (j.number && (j.number < this.number || 12 (j.number == this.number 13 && j.c.id < this.c.id)))) 14 return setTimeout 15 ("Mutex.SLICE("+this.c.id+","+j.c.id+")",10); 16 } 17 //run with exclusive access 18 this.c[ this.methodID ](); 19 //release exclusive access 20 this.number = 0; 21 Mutex.Wait.remove( this.c.id ); 22 } 23 // constructor logic 24 this.c = cmdObject; 25 this.methodID = methodName; 26 //(enter and number are "false" here) 27 Mutex.Wait.add( this.c.id, this ); 28 this.enter = true; 29 this.number = (new Date()).getTime(); 30 this.enter = false; 31 this.attempt( Mutex.Wait.first() ); 32 }Listing 3. Wallace variation implemented as the class
The basic logic of the
Mutex class is to place each new
Mutex instance into a master wait list and start it waiting in line. Each attempt (until the final one) to get to the "head of the line" requires waiting, so
setTimeout is used to schedule each new attempt which starts where the current attempt has left off. When the head has been reached (at line 17), exclusive access has been achieved; therefore, the critical section method can be invoked. When the critical section is done, exclusive access is released and the
Mutex instance is removed from the wait list (lines 20-21).
Mutex constructor (lines 23-31) records its
Command object and method name parameters and then registers itself into a sparse array of critical sections in progress (
Mutex.Wait), which is implemented via the
Map class shown in Listing 4. It then gets the "next number" and starts waiting at the end of the line. Since there is not a problem with gaps or duplicates in the wait numbers, the current timestamp is actually used as the "next" number.
attempt() method combines the two
wait loops in the original pseudocode into a single loop that doesn't fall through to the critical section until it is at the head of the line. This loop is a form of busy-wait polling, which can be throttled by the amount of delay specified in the
setTimeout() call. Since
setTimeout requires a "flat function" to be called, rather than an object method, a static helper method (
Mutex.SLICE) is defined in lines 4-6.
SLICE locates the specified
Mutex object in the master wait list and calls its
attempt() method, with the start parameter specifying how far through the wait list it has gotten so far. Each
SLICE() call is like getting a "slice of CPU." This cooperative approach of yielding the CPU (via
setTimeout) is reminiscent of coroutines.
function Map() { this.map = new Object(); // Map API this.add = function( k,o ){ this.map[k] = o; } this.remove = function( k ){ delete this.map[k]; } this.get = function( k ){ return k==null ? null : this.map[k]; } this.first = function(){ return this.get( this.nextKey() ); } this.next = function( k ){ return this.get( this.nextKey(k) ); } this.nextKey = function( k ){ for (i in this.map) { if ( !k ) return i; if (k==i) k=null; /*tricky*/ } return null; } }Listing 4. Sparse array implemented as a
Mapdata structure
Mutex handles a dynamic number of threads (virtual or not), one can get around the fact that an actual thread ID isn't known by acting as if the browser assigns a separate thread to each browser event. A similar simplifying assumption is that each complete event handler constitutes a complete critical section. Given these, each event handler function can be converted into a command object, and
Mutex used to invoke and manage them. Of course, if the code is not already cleanly organized into event handling functions then refactoring will be needed. In other words, rather than encoding logic directly in HTML event attributes (e.g.,
onclick='++var'), define and invoke event handling functions (e.g.,
onclick='FOO()' and
function FOO(){++var;}).

Farmers hope for federal hands-off approach to hemp
MONTPELIER A local farming group is cheering a Department of Justice memorandum that it said could clear the way for the worry-free cultivation of hemp by the 2014 growing season.
A DOJ directive issued late last month announced the federal agency would be taking a hands-off approach to producers and sellers of marijuana in two states that recently legalized the drug. But agriculture officials said the ruling could also have a significant impact on states that have legalized hemp, which is a form of cannabis that lacks any psychotropic power but is nonetheless classified as a Schedule 1 narcotic by the federal government.
The federal definition of hemp is the same as for marijuana, so any ruling that the Justice Department has given regarding marijuana should apply to hemp as well, according to the legal opinions Ive been given, said Rob Kidd, an organizer with Rural Vermont.
Gov. Peter Shumlin earlier this year signed into law a bill that legalized the cultivation of hemp in Vermont. But while the statute freed would-be growers from prosecution by the state, the prospect of federal interdiction, and the destruction of crops or seizure of land that might accompany an arrest, dampened farmers enthusiasm for taking advantage of the new law.
One of the few farmers to publicly announce his intention to grow hemp in Vermont had planned on purchasing a small plot of land through a separate limited liability company, so as to protect his assets from forfeiture should federal officers opt to prosecute.
Kidd said the federal governments policy against interfering with the legal marijuana trade in Colorado and Washington the states adopted a tax-and-regulate model in public referenda likely means prospective hemp growers can breathe easy in Vermont.
This morning in Montpelier, Rural Vermont will host a press conference at which they are expected to hoist over the Statehouse lawn a U.S. flag woven from hemp fiber. Hemp proponents are expected to tout the economic benefits of a plant that generates higher per-acre monetary yields than most conventional crops.
We have purposefully kept the debate over hemp separate from the debate over marijuana, because theyre two very different things, Kidd said. But this federal decision in response to new marijuana laws definitely looks to have some implications on what weve been trying to do.
Kidd said his organization is looking for clarification from federal officials confirming the directive will also apply to hemp. Sen. Patrick Leahy, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, took testimony from the DOJ on its marijuana policy last week, though the issue of hemp never arose.
A Leahy spokesman said that the Democratic senator would be submitting written questions to the DOJ addressing the hemp issue specifically.

County Manager Chuck Wooten is asking that commissioners look at implementing a more stringent application process and some type of background check for residents who want to volunteer with the county.
Such a policy could affect participation in programs from Meals on Wheels to youth basketball programs. Wooten said he is most concerned about the quality of people that are put in direct contact with the countyŌĆÖs elderly and youth.
ŌĆ£We know youth and seniors would be an important area to look at,ŌĆØ Wooten said. ŌĆ£We need to make sure weŌĆÖre putting the appropriate people in the appropriate situations to help these folks.ŌĆØ
Background checks and a screening process are commonplace for volunteers at many nonprofit organizations, church organizations and Western Carolina University, Wooten said. And though he doesnŌĆÖt have any reason to believe there has been any wrongdoing by the countyŌĆÖs volunteers, to have safeguards in place might avoid an unfortunate incident.
ŌĆ£I think itŌĆÖs just a good business practice,ŌĆØ Wooten said. ŌĆ£We just need to confirm it.ŌĆØ
Wooten said the county will look at such policies in the coming weeks to decide the depth and the scope of such background checks or screening for volunteers.

In a recent letter, I urged voters to delay voting in the city bond election in hopes that additional information which some might find positive might become available. Sadly, it was determined by necessary participants that it was too late in the process to attempt to bridge the gap between opponents and proponents. Accordingly, I urge all qualified voters to educate themselves on the water problem so as to cast an informed vote. For what it is worth, I plan to vote "yes", notwithstanding that I am distressed over how we got into the position in which we find ourselves. Without adequate water, Beeville property values will plummet as a result of economic losses which will occur if we do not have adequate water. Beeville's potable water history illustrates that relying on unfiltered well water and/or surface water is risky business. If we are unable to find a way to help ourselves, please pray hard for a whole bunch of well located rain.

Seventy years have passed since the incarceration and Sam is one of the few survivors willing to speak about this experience.

May 20,2013Whether one thinks the demiscandals being howled about in Washington should or should not resonate more widely, they dont. According to a Gallup report released Thursday, The amount of attention Americans are paying to the I.R.S. and the Benghazi situations is well below the average for news stories Gallup has tracked over the years. (The Associated Press phone records case wasnt mentioned.) Why might this be? I have a few theories:
People know that the Internal Revenue Service is the conservatives boogeyman. Its the agency that collects the taxes that Republicans hate so much. Some Americans see taxes as, at worst, a necessary nuisance; Republicans see them as an absolute evil. The IRS is the agency that collects the wealth from us for the government to redistribute to them. As National Journal pointed out Friday, The agency also implements much of the countrys social policy through the tax code. We all know that anything with social in its name activates the conservative gag reflex.
And on the Associated Press front, it just doesnt ring true to have Republicans standing up as defenders of the lame-stream media. Its like the person with the club feigning common cause with the baby seal. People just dont buy it.
Furthermore, Republicans have exhibited a near-pathological need to say anything, no matter how outlandish, that would invalidate the Obama presidency. This has left them with little credibility now that there may be legitimate problems. This is the story of the political party that cried Kenyan.
Where is Benghazi? Seriously, folks, quickly point it out on a map. Thought so. Now, to the controversy: the talking points what they said, and the machination of how that was altered, and whether al-Qaida should have been immediately blamed, and whether the word terror should have had an -ist or an -ism. Seeking to find the killers of four dead Americans is honorable; endless testimony about a fussed-over script used to explain the tragedy is mind-numbing.
It is clear that the Justice Department overreached on the Associated Press scandal and that its strong-arm tactics are likely to have a chilling effect. But Americans are not big fans of mass media.
A November Gallup poll found that only a fourth of Americans rate the honesty and ethical standards of journalists highly. Even bankers ranked higher. As for Tea Party groups that received extra scrutiny from the IRS, an Associated Press-GfK poll released last month found that fewer than a fourth of Americans say they support the group. The Tea Party may well be passe. The policy issue is a different story, as The Washington Post pointed out this week: In 2010, the Supreme Courts landmark `Citizens United decision cleared the way for corporations and labor unions to raise and spend unlimited sums of money, and register for tax-exempt status under section 501(c)(4). That decision was extremely unpopular. An ABC News/Washington Post poll released nearly a month after the decision was handed down found that 80 percent of Americans opposed it.
So an unpopular movement applied for tax-exempt status under conditions made possible by an unpopular court decision, in order to influence politics with unfathomable amounts of money from unnamed donors? Good luck gaining sympathy for that.
The Congressional Tea Party Caucus founder, Michele Bachmann, who never misses a chance to say something asinine, suggested to the conservative site wnd.com that it was reasonable to worry that the IRS might use Obamacare to kill conservatives.
The article reads, in part:
Since the I.R.S. also is the chief enforcer of Obamacare requirements, she asked whether the I.R.S. admission means it `will deny or delay access to health care for conservatives. At this point, she said, that `is a reasonable question to ask.
Reasonable and Bachmann dont even belong in the same conversation, let alone the same sentence, and yet she remains one of the most visible spokeswomen for the movement. Even former House Speaker Newt Gingrich warned Republicans against overreaching. In an NPR interview that aired Friday, Gingrich, referring to the impeachment of President Bill Clinton, said, I think we overreached in 98 hows that for a quote you can use?
He continued, advising his party to be calm and factual. Ha! Thats too rich, and too late. Republicans are already invoking the I-word.
Republicans are their own worst enemies at times like these, unable to leave well enough alone, and missing chances to honestly engage the public as they race off the cliff in the supercharged outrage machine.

Simply exceptional
November 20, 2013 —
NEWBURGH, NY — The end of a sports season invariably evokes a surfeit of superlatives when it comes to describing the noteworthy accomplishment of individual athletes and/or teams. But even words like outstanding, excellent and superior can lose some of their resonance with overuse, though they are often warranted when it comes to extolling the achievements evinced. But the word "exceptional" has a place all its own in the lexicon. Simply put, to be exceptional is to exist in a realm apart. So it is fitting Section IX's senior All-Star football game should contain that adjective. On November 16, 87 exceptional senior grid stars who were nominated by their coaches based on their talent, contributions to their team efforts and their sportsmanship gathered at the Newburgh Academy Field to engage in the Section IX Exceptional Seniors All-Star Game.

|Printer-Friendly Version Download RIN Data in XML
|Publication ID: Spring 2008
|Title: Prior Notice of Imported Food Under the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002
|Abstract: This rulemaking is one of a number of actions being taken to improve FDA's ability to respond to threats of bioterrorism. Section 801(m) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act), which was added by section 307 of the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002 (the Bioterrorism Act), requires notification to FDA prior to the entry of imported food. The regulation explains the information that the prior notice is required to contain, the method of submission of the notice, and the minimum and maximum period of advance notice required. Section 307 also states that if FDA does not receive prior notice or receives inadequate prior notice, the imported food shall be refused admission and held at the port of entry until proper notice is provided. Section 307 authorizes the Secretary, through FDA, to promulgate final regulations by December 12, 2003. FDA and the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) issued an interim final rule (IFR) on October 10, 2003 (68 FR 58974). The IFR originally provided a 75-day comment period to ensure that those that comment on the IFR have the benefit of our outreach and educational efforts and have the experience with the systems, timeframes, and data elements. We reopened the comment period for an additional 90 days in April through July 2004, to allow for additional comment on the industry's experience with the prior notice system, and comment on the Joint FDA-CBP Plan for Increasing Integration and Assessing the Coordination of Prior Notice Timeframes. The final rule currently is under development, and it will confirm or amend the IFR, as appropriate. This final rule is not expected to have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities.
