Empire 34: In the Shadows of Their Fathers, Part 5 is the thirty-fourth issue in the Star Wars: Empire series of comics. It was published on August 10, 2005 by Dark Horse Comics.
Publisher's summaryEdit
For the second time, events on Jabiim are coming to disastrous ends because of the presence of a Jedi named Skywalker.
The first time was during the Clone Wars when young Anakin Skywalker was forced to abandon the Loyalist Jabiimi troops to the not-so-tender mercies of the Separatists.
Now, Luke Skywalker, whose presence on the otherwise insignificant planet has attracted the attention of none other than Darth Vader, must decide whether to stay and fight and risk everything, or escape and leave the Jabiimi freedom fighters to face Vader's wrath.
But the choice may not be Luke's alone—and no matter what he decides, Vader could end up with another prize that could doom the Rebel fleet!

I spent my first couple days designing on a Mac and I must say, I am now an official convert. I got all the keys and mouse behaviors tweaked to emulate the PC way of doing things (I can't live without my right-click) and it's finally all become clear. I feel like such a flake, I really had it set in my head that it was all about PCs and didn't really want to listen to people who told me otherwise. All the Macs I had used in the past were other people's and hence were set up to their liking. Also, they always just seemed really slow. This thing is really quick; not quite as quick as the PC but I am willing to sacrifice a bit of performance for the user experience and stability I have found in OS X. I know, I know – this is a huge flip-flop from my previous stance but I am completely willing to admit I've totally fallen in love with this operating system and I was totally wrong in all of my assumptions about it. I don't think I will ever be without a PC (at least not for the near future), I still make music on the PC just because all of my projects and sketches are in Sonar or Vegas format which are both PC-only. But I want to start playing around with Logic and see how I like that as an alternative and perhaps make the switch all together over the next year.
I feel like this all came to a head with my disappointment in Windows Vista. I had patiently awaited it's release thinking it would be the new PC OS that would keep me going for the next 5 years, but in reality it turned out to be a dud on a lot of fronts. Meanwhile it seems that OS X has really matured into something incredible and the switch to Intel only made it that much more enticing. I made it through an entire night of designing without one hiccup or reboot in Photoshop which is very rare. All this time I had been attributing those issues to problems inherent to Photoshop, but apparently they were Windows issues as they have all disappeared. Another big part of this is color management. I have been using the Colorvision Spyder 2 system for a couple years now and it's just such a headache to keep all the profiles in working order in XP. On the Mac it's been smooth sailing.
I am not about to talk bad on Windows as I sort of feel like I am abandoning an old friend. It has it's perks; but as a lot of you have said before, for design Mac just seems to be the way to go. So go ahead, bring on the I-told-you-so's, I deserve every last one of them. Here's to a brave new world, sans sleep learning.
This is f'ing brilliant. Faux-Academic record sleeves by Nikolay Saveliev for Pop Matters. I've spent most of my career searching for beauty in design since I've neither the mind nor the inclination for conceptual design such as this and seeing an example so well executed always makes me lament that fact. Sort of a minimalist take on the classic Penguin covers. Can't get over that last one, "The Lactic Euphemism". Wonder if Nikolay wrote the copy as well? And can't help but be reminded of Joy Division with that Kanye cover.
Thought I'd give the blog an early heads up: A new print called "Northern Lights" will be released tomorrow morning at The ISO50 Shop. You can get it early now, the first printing is only 200 and they'll go fast once the newsletter comes out tomorrow. Get yours now!
All the Computer Arts readers may remember this was the illustration I did for the cover a couple years back. It also ended up as a line of snowboards for K2. I'll post some pictures of the various formats it saw life as once I get home tonight.
Seen this piece by Yes Studio around a few times but never had a full size version to post until Paddy Duke sent me this one. Very nice stuff going on here, as Paddy points out these are obviously inspired by the Prisma book covers.
"Artwork created for the UK band. Inspiration came in the form of pre-1980s analogue hi-fi equipment. Using a reductive graphic approach, multiple designs were created, colours were mixed by hand and large format prints produced at K2 Screen, London. The resulting artwork was then re-photographed and used as the basis for a sleeve and poster campaign." – Yesstudio.co.uk
Really amazing layout here. Love the photography, reminiscent of the Der Prophet cover. I've got to figure out a way to replicate this photographic style, it's so distinct and warm. Via Philip Pupa
Wow… via Metahan
I've recently built a new computer and now that it's complete and all is in working order I thought I would post some thoughts on the process and hopefully fill in some blanks on the way to go about building a computer for optimum performance in Photoshop (along with other multimedia applications). This is of course a very broad subject which would be hard to cover in its entirety in just one post, but I will try to hit the main points and provide some links to more in depth discussions. Also, if you're a computer genius and expect this to be some sort of treatise on the intricacies of processor architectures and FSB speeds, best try somewhere else because I only know my hardware as much as I need to in order to make it work. So you might find that I oversimplify some things, but I am more concerned that things work and not why they work.
Caveat 1: This rig was built to do large scale print work (12×18" @ 300dpi and up). If you are just doing design for the web or screen (72dpi) a lot of this might be overkill. The CPU will still be an issue, but the memory and swap disk's roles in speeding up performance will be greatly diminished.
Caveat 2: I will be assuming you are using Photoshop CS3 so some of the examples may not make sense (e.g. menu hierarchies) but all of the core concepts will apply to any version of Photoshop.
Caveat 3: I am also assuming you have some level of technical knowledge when it comes to computer hardware / software or you probably wouldn't be trying to build your own computer.
Caveat Emptor: I have no idea what I'm talking about.
Caveat Googlor: If you need more info than is provided here, the collective super-brain known as Google is your friend and knows a hell of a lot more about all this than I do.

In the United States, a Presidential Commission is a special task force ordained by the President to complete some special research or investigation. They are often used politically in one of two ways: either to draw attention to a problem (the publication of a report by a commission can generally be counted on to draw attention from the media, depending on how its release is handled); or, on the other hand, to delay action on an issue (if the President wants to avoid taking action but still look concerned about an issue, he can convene a commission and then let it slip into obscurity). However, there have been cases (the Tower, Rogers and Warren Commissions) where the commission has created reports that have been used as evidence in later criminal proceedings.

United States District Court, S.D. New York
August 12, 2005.
ANTHONY ISAACS, Petitioner,
JOSEPH T. SMITH, Superintendent, Shawangunk Correctional Facility, Respondent.
On February 12, 2004, pro se petitioner Anthony Isaacs
("Isaacs") filed a petition for habeas corpus relief pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 2254. Isaacs seeks an order to vacate his 1985
conviction following trial of murder in the second degree,
attempted murder in the second degree and criminal possession of
a weapon in the second degree. In his petition, Isaacs claims
that he is being held unlawfully on the following grounds: (1) the lineup in which he was identified by the other victim of the
shooting; (2) his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance
to him; (3) the prosecutor solicited and used testimony from an
eyewitness known to be false; and (4) the denial of his motion
pursuant to N.Y. Crim. Proc. L. § 440.10 was based upon an
unreasonable determination of the facts in light of the evidence
presented in the state court proceedings.
Respondent has moved to dismiss the petition as time-barred.
Isaacs argues that he is entitled to an equitable tolling of the
Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 ("AEDPA")
statute of limitations because he is actually innocent of the
crimes for which he was convicted and has submitted affidavits
from various parties which he claims constitute new reliable
evidence in support of his actual innocence. The matter was
referred to Magistrate Judge Henry Pitman for a Report and
Recommendation (the "Report"). The Report recommends that the
petition be dismissed as untimely under AEDPA. For the following
reasons, the Report is adopted in part, the motion to dismiss is
granted in part, and the matter is referred to Magistrate Judge
Pitman for further findings on Isaacs' actual innocence argument.
In January 1985, Isaacs was tried by jury for second degree
murder, second degree attempted murder, and second degree
criminal possession of a weapon. At trial, testimony established
the following facts. On the evening of December 9, 1983, Mario Chloros ("Chloros") and Nasser Judeh ("Judeh") drove from
Clifton, New Jersey to Manhattan to buy "angel dust." Their car
got a flat tire and the men pulled over at 129th Street in
Manhattan. As the men changed the tire, Isaacs approached and,
claiming that he was a police officer, put a revolver to Judeh's
head and threatened to "drop" him where he stood. After pushing
Judeh and Chloros against a car, Isaacs shot Judeh in the leg.
Judeh began to run away and petitioner fired three more shots at
him. Isaacs then fired a shot into Chloros' head, killing him. An
eyewitness, Maurice Lee ("Lee"), who had known Isaacs for fifteen
years, was at a friend's apartment on the fifth floor of 54 East
129th Street (the "Building") when he heard what sounded like two
gunshots. Lee went to a window and saw Isaacs standing with a gun
in his hand over the dead Chloros. Three or four days after the
murder, Lee contacted the "Crime Stoppers" hotline and reported
what he had seen to a detective and was subsequently interviewed
by the detective assigned to the case. After further
investigation, the detective conducted a lineup with Isaacs and
five "fillers." Judeh viewed the lineup and identified Isaacs as
the man who shot him. At trial, Judeh again identified Isaacs as
the man who shot him. Isaacs was convicted on all counts on
January 10, 1985.
The remaining facts are set forth in the Report and summarized
here. Isaacs was sentenced to concurrent indeterminate prison
terms of twenty-five years to life on the murder count, eight and
one-third years to twenty-five years on the attempted murder count and five to fifteen years on the
weapons count. The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, First
Department, summarily affirmed petitioner's conviction on May 19,
1987. The New York Court of Appeals denied Isaacs leave to appeal
on June 14, 1988.
Isaacs filed an application for a writ of error coram nobis in
1992 alleging ineffective assistance of appellate counsel; the
Appellate Division, First Department denied the application on
March 4, 1993. People v. Isaacs, 595 N.Y.S.2d 600 (1st Dep't
1993). In October or November 2001, Isaacs filed a motion to
vacate his conviction pursuant to N.Y. Crim. Proc. L. § 440.10.
That motion was denied on May 29, 2002.
Isaacs' pro se federal habeas corpus petition was received by
the district court's Pro Se Office on February 19, 2004. Chief
Judge Michael B. Mukasey, to whom the matter was originally
assigned, issued an Order on May 4 explaining the one-year
limitations period applicable to federal habeas corpus petitions
brought by state prisoners and directing Isaacs to explain why
his petition was not time-barred. Isaacs submitted an affirmation
in response to Judge Mukasey's Order that alleged he had obtained
newly discovered evidence in the form of a March 17, 1999
affidavit of Purvis Lucas. After the matter was reassigned to
this Court, it was referred to Magistrate Judge Pitman in order
to determine whether this newly discovered evidence was necessary
to form the factual predicate of Isaacs' claim, whether this
information could not have been discovered through the exercise of due diligence, and whether Isaacs' claim was
nonetheless time-barred. The Report, to which Isaacs submitted
objections after requesting an extension of time, recommends that
respondent's motion to dismiss the petition as time-barred be
In reviewing the Report, a reviewing court "may accept, reject,
or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations
made by the magistrate judge." 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). The
court shall make a de novo determination of those portions of
the Report to which objection is made. United States v. Male
Juvenile, 121 F.3d 34, 38 (2d Cir. 1997). "A district court may
adopt those portions of the Report to which no objections have
been made and which are not facially erroneous." Wilds v. United
Parcel Serv., Inc., 262 F. Supp. 2d 163, 170 (S.D.N.Y. 2003)
(citation omitted).
Under AEDPA, the filing of a habeas corpus petition is governed
by a one year statute of limitations. 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(1).
Isaacs' judgment of conviction became final on September 12,
1988, at the conclusion of the ninety days during which he could
have sought certiorari in the United States Supreme Court. See
Valverde v. Stinson, 224 F.3d 129, 132 (2d Cir. 2000). Since
Issacs' statute of limitations period expired before AEDPA became
law, his one-year statute of limitations period began running on
April 24, 1996, the date AEDPA was enacted. Ross v. Artuz, 150 F.3d 97, 103 (2d Cir. 1998).
In light of the foregoing, the Report correctly concludes that
this petition, which is deemed filed on February 12,
2003,*fn1 is untimely. Isaacs had until April 24, 1997 to
file the instant petition. Id. The post-conviction motion he
filed in late 2001 in state court under N.Y. Crim. Proc. L. §
440.10 was submitted after his one year statute of limitations
period expired, and therefore cannot be used to toll his statute
of limitations. See Smith v. McGinnis, 208 F.3d 13, 17 (2d
Cir. 2000) (per curiam) (holding that "proper calculation of
Section 2244(d)(2)'s tolling provision excludes time during which
properly filed state relief applications are pending but does not
reset the date from which the one-year statute of limitations
begins to run"). Likewise, the affidavits on which Isaacs relies
do not toll his statute of limitations, because they are either
too old,*fn2 or do not form the factual predicate for any of
Isaacs' habeas claims.*fn3 See 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(1)(D) (Under AEDPA, the one-year limitations
period for "newly discovered" evidence runs from "the date on
which the factual predicate of the claim or claims presented
could have been discovered through the exercise of due
diligence."). Isaacs does not object to this portion of the
Report's analysis. As it is not facially erroneous, this portion
of the Report is adopted.
Equitable Tolling
AEDPA's one-year period of limitations governing habeas corpus
petitions may be equitably tolled in "extraordinary" or
"exceptional" circumstances. Smith v. McGinnis, 208 F.3d 13, 17
(2d Cir. 2000). "Equitable tolling allows courts to extend the
statute of limitations beyond the time of expiration as necessary
to avoid inequitable circumstances." Johnson v. Nyack Hosp.,
86 F.3d 8, 12 (2d Cir. 1996). The party seeking equitable tolling
must have acted with "reasonable diligence" throughout the period
he seeks to toll. Id. There are limited circumstances which may
equitably toll Section 2244(d)(1)'s limitation period. The Second
Circuit has identified only two such circumstances: (1) where "an
attorney's conduct is so outrageous and incompetent that it is
truly extraordinary," and (2) "where prison officials
intentionally obstruct a petitioner's ability to file his
petition by confiscating his legal papers." Doe v. Menefee, 391 F.3d 147, 159 (2d Cir. 2004).
The Report correctly concludes that Isaacs cites no
extraordinary circumstances that would justify application of the
doctrine of equitable tolling. In his objections, Isaacs merely
restates his complaints about difficulties he has had in getting
documents from the District Attorney's Office of New York County
to support his claims. He does not suggest any reason why the
Report's analysis on this issue is flawed. As a matter of law,
difficulties obtaining documents do not toll the time to file a
petition. Hodge v. Greiner, 269 F.3d 104, 107 (2d Cir. 2001);
Lebron v. Sanders, 02 Civ. 6377 (RPP), 2004 WL 369141, at *2
(S.D.N.Y. Feb. 27, 2004). Accordingly, Isaacs is not entitled to
an equitable tolling of the statute of limitations for his habeas
Actual Innocence
Due to Isaacs' pro se status, the Report considers sua
sponte whether Isaacs might be able to avoid the statute of
limitations by a claim of actual innocence, and concludes that
Isaacs "has not even come close to making the necessary showing."
Isaacs seizes on this area of inquiry in his objections, devoting
the majority of his attention to a new claim of actual innocence.
A petitioner may use a claim of actual innocence as a
"gateway," or a means of excusing a procedural default, that
enables him to obtain review of his constitutional challenges to
his conviction. Schlup v. Delo, 513 U.S. 298, 315-17 (1995). Recently, the Second Circuit has stated in dicta that, given
the proper circumstances, the Schlup standard may apply in the
tolling context.*fn4 See Doe, 391 F.3d at 161.
The Second Circuit has
instructed district courts faced with untimely
petitions in which the petitioner asserts his or her
actual innocence to determine, in each case, whether
the petitioner has presented a credible claim of
actual innocence before ruling on the legal issues of
whether such a showing provides a basis for equitable
tolling and whether the petitioner must also
demonstrate that he or she pursued his or her claim
with reasonable diligence.
The Report concludes that Isaacs has not established a credible
claim of actual innocence, as Isaacs has not presented new
reliable evidence to support such a claim. Isaacs did not make a
claim of actual innocence in his petition or even litigate the
issue before the Magistrate Judge. Instead, he has submitted
affidavits and other documents with his objections. As an initial
matter, it is not clear that Schlup applies when the petitioner
does not raise a claim of actual innocence. Moreover, the purpose
of objections to a report and recommendation is to focus the
attention of the district court on possible errors of law of fact
contained in the report, not to present new evidence and arguments that were not presented to
the magistrate judge in the first instance. In any event,
however, a more complete record is necessary to evaluate Isaacs'
actual innocence argument.
Isaacs relies on four pieces of evidence or arguments in
advancing his actual innocence claim, none of which were
presented to Magistrate Judge Pitman, and none of which were the
subject of briefing from the parties. First, Isaacs attempts to
impeach Lee's eyewitness testimony with two affidavits one
dated February 5, 1985, the other dated October 3, 1985 ("1985
Affidavits") wherein the affiants state that they lived in the
two fifth floor apartments facing the street in the Building at
the time of the murder, they do not know Lee, and they never had
him in either of their apartments.*fn5 Second, Isaacs
presents the affidavit of Sam Woodrow, dated February 20, 2005,
twenty-three days after the Report was issued, but within the
time for objections after Isaac's request for an extension was
granted. Woodrow reports that he saw a man walking away from the
scene of the shooting, apparently holding a gun, and that that
man was not Isaacs.*fn6 Third, Isaacs alleges that he has an
alibi for the evening of the murder, although he admittedly offers no evidence
to support this alibi. Fourth, Isaacs offers a March 19, 1999
affidavit by Purvis Lucas ("Lucas") in an attempt to impeach a
statement in a police report describing a detective's interview
of Lee wherein Lee states that he also saw Lucas at the scene of
the crime. This affidavit states that when Lucas was interviewed
by an Assistant District Attorney about the murder, he told the
ADA that he "didn't know anything about the murder" and "was not
around on that date or at that time."
As the parties have not briefed the issue of actual innocence,
nor have they had an opportunity to develop the record regarding
the evidence presented at Isaacs' trial or the history of the
evidence Isaacs now offers, it is premature to decide the merits
of Isaacs' actual innocence claim. Accordingly, this action is referred to the Magistrate Judge
for further proceedings on this claim only.
The Report is adopted and the respondent's motion to dismiss
the petition is granted except as to Isaacs' actual innocence
claim. This action is referred to Magistrate Judge Pitman for
further findings on Isaacs' actual innocence claim. All
correspondence and requests should be sent to the attention of
Judge Pitman.

Swiss banking regulator proposes toughened bonus rules
The Swiss financial watchdog Finma on Wednesday proposed new norms to make bank bonuses conditional upon long-term profitability, and set a two-year time frame for companies to comply, although state-backed UBS must adapt this year.
The regulator said the rules would be effective the beginning of next year, but there would be a year's transition period to allow banks to adapt their remuneration policies.
Although the rules are akin to recommendations made by the Financial Stability Forum in April, FINMA claimed they went further as they will cover all financial institutions, not just the biggest banks.

BETTY WARREN, PLAINTIFF,v.SOLO CUP COMPANY, DEFENDANT.
On December 1, 2004, Plaintiff Betty Warren filed a three count complaint against Defendant Solo Cup Company alleging sex discrimination pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, a claim under the Equal Pay Act (EPA), and a claim under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). On April 14, 2006, Solo Cup filed a Motion for Summary Judgment (#10). The matter is now fully briefed, and for the reasons that follow, the Motion for Summary Judgment is GRANTED.
Solo Cup, a supplier of disposable cups and plates, hired Warren as a packer on August 23, 1999. When she was hired, Warren's rate of pay was $6.04. After thirty days, Warren received a pay increase of twenty-seven cents per hour in accordance with Solo Cup's normal pay adjustment procedures. Warren applied for a tool crib attendant position effective March 6, 2000. Warren did not get an increase in pay when she was transferred to the tool crib position because she was earning more for than the minimum wage for a tool crib attendant when she started in that position. After 30 days, she was given a pay adjustment of twenty-six cents per hour. Thus, as of April 10, 2000, Warren was earning $6.57 per hour. After 90 days, Warren received a pay adjustment of thirty-six cents per hour, bringing her hourly wage to $6.93. On her one year anniversary in the tool crib position, Warren received an additional twenty-eight cents per hour, bringing her total wage to $7.21 per hour on March 5, 2001. Warren received an additional pay increase of thirty-one cents per hour on March 4, 2002, bringing her total pay to $7.52 per hour.
The tool crib in which Warren worked utilizes the MP2 Program, a computerized inventory and parts control program. Prior to utilizing this program, the tool crib conducted hand inventories using a card system. After the MP2 Program was put in place, tool crib attendants were required to do significantly more computer work. Eugene Beckler is the plant manager at Solo Cup, and Ed Holzhauer serves as the plant engineer. Beckler and Holzhauer decided to add a third shift tool crib attendant to the staff. Under this new plan, the day shift attendants were to receive parts, the second shift was to cycle count, and the third shift was to perform data entry into the computer and ensure all orders were entered into the computer by 7:00 a.m.
During this time, Don Lorenz was also hired to work as a tool crib attendant. Lorenz was initially hired as a security guard in August 2001 with a starting pay of $6.50 per hour, a rate higher than Warren's starting pay.*fn1 When the security department was eliminated, Lorenz was transferred to the tool crib position. Lorenz was given a raise when he moved to the tool crib position.*fn2 Tony Peyton, the head of the Human Resources department, testified this raise was based on Lorenz's "computer skills and his potential; we thought that his capabilities and his background were deserving of that increase." When Lorenz was hired, he held a Bachelor's degree in anthropology and two Master's degrees from the University of Illinois. Some of the courses Lorenz took had computer science components. Peyton was aware Lorenz had computer skills from college courses he took while working on his degrees and that he had a home computer with which he worked. Although not listed in the job description for tool crib attendant, Holzhauer believed a very computer literate person was necessary for the proposed third shift tool crib attendant position. Holzhauer was aware Lorenz had college degrees and was very familiar with computers. Warren testified that she was "kind of mediocre" with computers, but believed she could improve with training. Warren also testified that Lorenz "appeared to do more computer work at night than I did."
Nancy Driggers was one of Warren's supervisors and the foreman of the stockroom. Driggers delegated work for Warren to perform. Driggers testified that Warren "just didn't want to work on a computer." Driggers further testified she was "under the impression [Warren] just really didn't want to deal with the computer. She would rather do almost any of the other jobs other than work the computer." Holzhauer testified Warren had "problems with the computer at that time, of entering things into the computer" and that she "did not have an easy time working on the computer." Warren testified that no supervisor ever told her she was not doing an adequate job with the computer.
Eventually, Solo Cup decided not to fill the third shift position in the tool crib. As a result, one tool crib position was eliminated. Warren was then terminated in February 2003. When she was terminated, Warren was told the reason was she was "generating too many orders." Warren testified no mention of her computer skills was made at the time of her termination. Peyton indicated in his deposition that he told Warren her position was being eliminated, and Solo Cup was only going to have one person in the stockroom on second shift. When Warren asked why she was chosen to be terminated, Peyton informed her it was based on her attendance and performance.
Summary judgment is granted "if the pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories, and admissions on file, together with the affidavits, if any, show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law." Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(c); see also Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 322-23 (1986). In ruling on a motion for summary judgment, the court must decide, based on the evidence of record, whether there is any material dispute of fact that requires a trial. Waldridge v. American Hoechst Corp., 24 F.3d 918, 920 (7th Cir. 1994). In reaching this decision, the court must consider the evidence in the light most favorable to the party opposing summary judgment. Adickes v. S.H. Kress & Co., 398 U.S. 144, 158-59 (1970). The burden of establishing that no genuine issue of material fact exists rests with the movant. Jakubiec v. Cities Serv. Co., 844 F.2d 470, 473 (7th Cir. 1988). In her Response to the Motion for Summary Judgment, Warren concedes she cannot establish a prima facie case under the FMLA. Therefore, only her claims under EPA and Title VII require analysis by this court.
Warren's first claim is that Solo Cup violated the EPA because her hourly pay as a tool crib attendant was less than the hourly pay received by Lorenz. The EPA, part of the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. § 201 et seq., prohibits paying male and female workers different wages based solely on gender. 29 U.S.C. § 206(d). To establish a prima facie case of discrimination under the EPA, Warren must demonstrate that: (1) different wages were paid to employees of the opposite sex; (2) the employees performed equal work requiring equal skill, effort, and responsibility; and (3) the employees had similar working conditions. Fyfe v. City of Fort Wayne, 241 F.3d 597, 600 (7th Cir. 2001). No proof of discriminatory intent is required under the EPA. Cullen v. Ind. Univ. Bd. of Trs., 338 F.3d 693, 698 (7th Cir. 2003). With regard to the second element of the prima facie case, the court must consider three separate elements of the jobs being compared: skill, effort and responsibility. 29 U.S.C. § 206(d)(1). Each element must be met individually to establish a prima facie case. 29 C.F.R. §1620.14. "Skill includes consideration of such factors as experience, training, education, and ability." 29 C.F.R. 1620.15(a). However, "[p]ossession of a skill not needed to meet the requirements of the job cannot be considered in making a determination regarding equality of skill." 29 C.F.R. 1620.15(a). Furthermore, individual qualifications are irrelevant at this point in the analysis because the issue is comparison of jobs. See Cullen, 338 F.3d at 699.
Once a plaintiff establishes a prima facie case, the employer may offer an affirmative defense by explaining that the pay differential is due to seniority, a merit system, quantity or quality of work product, or "any other factor other than sex." 29 U.S.C. § 206(d); see also Markel v. Bd. of Regents of the Univ. of Wis. Sys., 276 F.3d 906, 913 (7th Cir. 2002). The "any other factor" affirmative defense, which Solo Cup relies on in this matter, is a "broad catch-all exception that embraces an almost limitless number of factors, so long as they do not involve sex." Fallon v. State of Ill., 882 F.2d 1206, 1211 (7th Cir. 1989). This exception insures that courts do not substitute their judgment for that of employers. Fallon, 882 F.2d at 1211. Rather, "[t]he statute asks whether the employer has a reason other than sex-not whether it has a 'good' reason." Wernsing v. Dept. of Human Serv., 427 F.3d 466, 468 (7th Cir. 2005). "Education is a relevant consideration in determining whether disparate salaries exist for reasons other than sex." Cullen, 338 F.3d at 702.
Assuming Warren was able to establish a prima facie case, Solo Cup has established by a preponderance of the evidence that the pay differential was due to a factor other than sex, namely Lorenz's education and skill with computers. Lorenz holds a Bachelor's degree and two Master's degrees from the University of Illinois. Lorenz informed Solo Cup that he took computer courses while receiving his education. Such computer training was important due to the implementation of the MP2 Inventory Control Program at Solo Cup. Driggers, Warren's supervisor, testified she was "under the impression [Warren] just really didn't want to deal with the computer. She would rather do almost any of the other jobs other than work the computer." Holzhauer testified Warren had "problems with the computer at that time, of entering things into the computer" and that she "did not have an easy time working on the computer." Warren herself testified she was "kind of mediocre" with computers. Holzhauer was aware Lorenz had two degrees and was very familiar with computers. Therefore, Solo Cup has sustained its burden of showing the pay differential between Warren and Lorenz was due to a factor other than sex.
The court now turns to Warren's Title VII claim. A claim of discrimination under Title VII may be proven directly or indirectly. O'Neal v. City of New Albany, 293 F.3d 998, 1003 (7th Cir. 2002). Warren lacks any direct evidence of sex discrimination and so her claim must be evaluated under the indirect method of proof as established by McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Green, 411 U.S. 792 (1973). Traylor v. Brown, 295 F.3d 783, 787-88 (7th Cir. 2002). Under this analytic framework, the plaintiff first must establish certain prima facie elements for a case of gender discrimination: (1) she is a member of a protected class; (2) she was performing her job satisfactorily; (3) she suffered an adverse employment action; and (4) similarly-situated employees outside the protected class were treated more favorably. Traylor, 295 F.3d at 788. If the plaintiff can meet this initial showing, then the burden shifts to the employer to assert a legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason for the challenged action. Simmons v. Chicago Bd. of Educ., 289 F.3d 488, 492 (7th Cir. 2002). The burden then shifts back to the plaintiff to present evidence that would allow the trier of fact to conclude that the employer's proffered reason is pretextual. Simmons, 289 F.3d at 492.
Warren's claim under Title VII based upon her pay differential from Lorenz must fail because Warren is unable to establish her prima facie case in that she has failed to demonstrate she is similarly situated to Lorenz. "A similarly situated employee is one who is 'directly comparable to [the plaintiff] in all material respects.'" Bio v. Fed. Express. Corp., 424 F.3d 593, 597 (7th Cir. 2005), quoting Patterson v. Avery Dennison Corp., 281 F.3d 676, 680 (7th Cir. 2002). "In evaluating whether two employees are directly comparable, the court must look at all relevant factors, including whether the employees 'held the same job description, (ii) were subject to the same standards, (iii) were subordinate to the same supervisor, and (iv) had comparable experience, education, and other qualifications - provided the employer considered these latter factors in making the personnel decision.'" Bio, 424 F.3d at 597, quoting Ajayi v. Aramark Bus. Servs., Inc., 336 F.3d 520, 532 (7th Cir. 2003).
As discussed above, Lorenz and Warren did not have similar qualifications and education in that Lorenz had more training, experience, and skill with computers than Warren. Solo Cup established that these computer skills were necessary due to the implementation of the M2 program in the tool crib. Warren argues that she was similarly situated with Lorenz because: (1) Lorenz's education was actually a negative factor because his degrees were not relevant to the job; and (2) the decision makers were not aware of Lorenz's computer skills. However, even if the degrees Lorenz received were not directly relevant to his job, the computer skills he acquired during his education were relevant. With regard to Warren's second argument, she admits in her response that Peyton and Holzhauer were aware of Lorenz's professed computer training in college. Accordingly, this court finds these arguments without merit.
As concerns Warren's claim for her termination under Title VII, this court concludes Warren failed to sufficiently allege this claim in her complaint.*fn3 In her complaint under the heading "Cause of Action Under 42 U.S.C. 2000e (Sex Discrimination)," Warren alleges she was "subjected to unequal terms and conditions of employment because of her sex in that she was paid less for equivalent work than a male employee with less experience and seniority." The only allegations in her complaint which relate to her termination concern her claim under the FMLA, a claim Warren has now abandoned. While the termination claim based upon sex was raised in her EEOC charge, "appending the EEOC charges to the complaint hardly serves as notification that the plaintiff is adding an entirely new count." Conner v. Ill. Dept. of Natural Resources, 413 F.3d 675, 679 (7th Cir. 2005), quoting Wislocki-Goin v. Mears, 831 F.2d 1374, 1381 (7th Cir. 1987). Accordingly, it is apparent Warren is attempting to amend her complaint through her Response to the Motion for Summary Judgment. Warren never filed a motion to amend her complaint. In addition, Solo Cup would not have become aware of this claim through the discovery process. In fact, Warren testified in her deposition that the only claim she was pursuing against Solo Cup was that Lorenz was paid more money as a tool crib attendant. Accordingly, this court need not consider this claim.
(1) Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment (#10) is GRANTED.
(2) This case is terminated.

CHICAGO -- Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Michal Rozsival will have to live with a swollen upper lip and some stitches for a bit, but he realized the price he paid for taking a puck to the face paled in comparison to what could have been.
"It's obviously just a cut, nothing serious, nothing broken, no teeth missing," said Rozsival, who practiced on Wednesday and is expected to play against the Phoenix Coyotes on Thursday. "It could have been worse, so I'm pretty lucky."
Rozsival suffered the injury during the third period on Sunday when the Edmonton Oilers' David Perron was attempting to knock the puck down the ice and accidentally struck it into the Blackhawks bench. The puck hit Rozsival in the face and sent him to the ground. He was taken to the dressing room and did not return to the game. He was unsure how many stitches he received, but said he needed about 30 minutes of medical work after the incident.
"The thing is I wasn't watching the play," Rozsival said. "I didn't see the puck coming. It caught me by surprise. I kind of got knocked out, sucker-punched. But I'm glad it is what it is. It's just a cut, and I should be fine."
Rozsival said Perron reached out to apologize after the game.
"He sent me a text message just saying he's sorry, I didn't mean to do that," Rozsival said. "I really appreciated it. It was real nice for him to reach out to me."
Rozsival practiced with a full visor to his protect his face on Wednesday, but he wasn't sure if he would keep it for games.
"I've never played with a visor," Rozsival said. "To tell you the truth, I thought it would be worse than what it was. We'll see how it goes if I'm going to need it or not. For today, it was just for the practice. I wanted to try it out."
Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews was pleased to see Rozsival and his upper lip back on the ice already.
"We were definitely worried see a guy go down on the bench, definitely not expecting to get a puck in the mouth," Toews said. "That can happen, I guess. A nice upper lip on him. It's a good look for him."

It was a very comfortable property, everything was at hand with attention to detail. It was a great location, very central for lots of tourist attractions. The owners were very helpful but not intrusive. We are definitely going to return next year, and hopefully get some better weather, so we can really enjoy the beautiful surrounding countryside.
Mr Maguire
A beautiful cottage and a very good reception from the owners.
Mrs Harrison
A lovely Barn Conversion, really comfortable and clean with a nicely modern look and perfect little garden with a pleasant view. We enjoyed staying there.
Mrs Nichols
Back again for a brilliant vacation
Well back again for either my 3rd or 4th visit and I'm coming back again next year This time just me and my two border terriers, weather good for the first cole days, then a bit cloudy but that didn't keep us in, and as I've been before I know where all the local amenities are, however as I was alone I decided Sunday lunch should be taken in the Croplands hotel, which was a carvery, I called the day before and booked and glad I did as it was packed. This BIG cottage is such a lovely place, I could live here with my two dogs.
Shaun William B
Over the last few years we have experienced a number of cottages, but have to say ,the Coach House was by far the best we have visited. The standard of everything about the cottage was first class, and the owners a joy to deal with. It was also ideally situated for exploring the Lake District. I would recommend this cottage without question.

A day in the life of Herbert Foster, aka Syanide
Its 7.30 am. (Far far too early i might say). It wasnt my alarm clock that woke me up, I have no need for one anyway. Im profoundly deaf and you know, its actually a blessing. ;) What it was , was my lovely but fustrated partner and for the last several nights has had to put up with my tossing and turning, non stop fidgeting, groans and frequent toilet stops. What she cant understand is , that I was dreaming that I was on the final table, battling it out with Jason Mercier in the SuperHigh Roller!!
I thought I might divulge some information, if only to allow you to gain insight as to who or what I am. I have to ask myself that sometimes. I shall start with by stating that I live in an old city, one steeped with history and surrounded by many a green fields. I am sat by MY desk, situated by the window so that I may people watch whilst I play poker. Very entertaining yet distracting. I mean, just now there I was looking out the window, searching for inspiration, I found it only to look back at my laptop screen to find I timed out on a pair of two's!!! My favourite hand!!!
Was joking on that last part. My favourite hand is 88. Reminds me of two fat ladies at bingo. Old times eh.
I am a person that has a checklist in the morning. It goes along with something like this...
Are you really awake?... Yes, but I can't explain the pink socks.
Do you require mutual services given by you and your partner?... Serviced already
Kettle on?... of course. Irish coffee coming right up. It smells really strong so it might be russian.
Hard stuff... Absolute ly
Daughter had her weetabix? ... ah, that's what that banging is from next door. Cheers for the reminder.
You had your ryvita crackers and flora?... dont be silly, I'm on a diet
Jeremy Kyle on?... Im watching the street version out of my window. This town can get rough sometimes.
Pokerstars all set up and tournaments registered?... Im such a natural, I didnt even realise I was doing it.
Cigarette?... Check
Russian or Irish coffee or what the hell it is anyway?... Check
Poker about to start?... Check
Finally, dressed?... Damn
Now, if you will excuse me, my session is about to start. Wish me luck. OH, and wish me luck for my other one later on today. I ve got a session with my therapist and I dont like the look of his couch. Its too red for my liking.

Peter Chiykowski is an award-winning cartoonist, musician, writer and editor. He's mostly known for Rock, Paper, Cynic, his webcomic about celebrating the things that make the world an interesting place. His work won him the Aurora Award for Best Graphic Novel in 2014, and now The HMS Bad Idea, Peter's first book of comics, is available in places that will take your money and give you stupid cartoons instead. The book debuted at the #1 new graphic novel anthology on the Amazon international bestseller list. Huzzah!
When he's not making comics, Peter is usually writing new songs about grown-up things like having a crush on the National Security Agency or taking Netflix as a monogamous lover. His first album of music, Borken Telephone, is slated to hit Kickstarter in July 2015.
Peter's weird short stories and poems have somehow sneaked their way into legitimate publications like Asimov's Science Fiction, The New Quarterly and Best Canadian Poetry. His questionably fictitious non-fiction book Half-Cat: A Partial History was a staff-choiced Kickstarter phenomenon. Peter's half-cat research has been reproduced in what is technically a TEDx talk but functionally a dumb joke and a presentation at Kickstarter headquarters in New York.
By day Peter writes and edits for international charity Free The Children, producing educational resources for thousands of schools and youth groups. He's written charity-focused content for newspapers like the Seattle Times, San Francisco Herald, Vancouver Sun and Ottawa Citizen.
By night Peter wears too many hats, spends time with his fiancee and wrangles two unruly basset hounds.
