A Look Inside: The Brink Studio
This is the first in our series of music geek pieces, sort of a bProp "style" section. This week we're excited to bring you some shots of a studio called The Brink. The space is owned by Mike Reina. Jimmy Chamberlin, of Smashing Pumpkins, and Mike just finished recording an album in these confines under the moniker of THIS. You'll hear more about that from betterPropaganda in the coming weeks.
Photographer, musician, and architect, Ryan Hughes visited Mike in his studio recently and captured this still-functioning monument to analog equipment for us.
- Ken M, Founder and Publisher
Mike Reina: "Aside from the obligatory 4 tracking in high school and college, my recording experience was mostly limited to digital until my band got an MCI 1" 8 track. I hate to admit that a machine could have the power to change my life, but there is more than enough evidence in the racks to conclude that It did."

- View Offline
- [Voiceover] Hello and welcome to SketchUp Rendering Using V-Ray. My name is Brian Bradley, and I am really excited to be able to introduce you to this powerful lighting and rendering solution for the SketchUp Application. As this course is designed to help us get up and running with V-Ray in SketchUp, we will, first of all, install and then set up V-Ray plugin in the SketchUp application. We will take a look at using V-Ray's extremely powerful and versatile lighting tools to add some illumination to our scene.
This will include examining the V-Ray sun and sky systems, which can be used to add natural looking daylight to our renders, as well as looking at some of the V-Ray specific light types available that can be used to mimic artificial light sources. We will naturally take a close look at the V-Ray standard material as it will help up recreate some useful real world material types. As V-Ray can easily be utilized as a virtual photography studio, we will want to put some of its effects tools to work and add an extra level or believability to our renders.
As we have all of this and more, let's go ahead and dive right in.
- Installing V-Ray
- Creating natural daylight with V-Ray Sun and Sky
- Bouncing light around with irradiance mapping and light caches
- Setting up a depth-of-field effect
- Creating diffuse and reflective surfaces
- Working with the Adaptive DMC engine
- Manipulating color mapping
- Adding caustic lighting and occlusion effects

MEYER W. SHULICK, APPELLANTv.PAINEWEBBER, INCORPORATED
Appeal from the Order Dated November 11, 1996, Docketed November 14, 1996, In the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, Civil No. 0069 November Term, 1995.
Before: Beck, Popovich and Montemuro,* JJ. Opinion BY Beck, J.
Filed September 17, 1997
We decide, inter alia, whether a customer may maintain a state common law cause of action for breach of fiduciary duty and breach of contract against a securities broker arising out of inadequate disclosure of order flow payments or whether such action is preempted by the federal Securities Exchange Act, 15 U.S.C. § 78 et seq., and relevant regulations. We hold that under the facts of this case a customer may not maintain a state common law cause of action, and therefore affirm the trial court.
The customer, plaintiff-appellant Meyer W. Shulick, filed this action against defendant-appellee PaineWebber, Incorporated (hereinafter "PaineWebber"), alleging, inter alia, that appellee breached its fiduciary duty to appellant and other investors when it accepted "order flow payments" without permission from or adequate disclosure to them. *fn1 Appellee filed preliminary objections, arguing that the common law causes of action alleged by appellant were preempted by federal securities law. The trial Judge granted the preliminary objections, holding that appellant's lawsuit was indeed preempted, and dismissed the action. The court relied on cases from other jurisdictions that have addressed this issue, as our courts have not. We find the reasoning in these cases compelling, and therefore affirm.
In determining whether the trial court properly sustained preliminary objections we must consider the legal sufficiency of the complaint and, assuming the averments of the complaint to be true, whether the plaintiff made out a cognizable cause of action. Gordon v. Lancaster Osteopathic Hospital Assoc., 340 Pa. Super. 253, 489 A.2d 1364 (1985); D'Antona v. Hampton Grinding Wheel Co., 225 Pa. Super. 120, 310 A.2d 307 (1973).
The complaint in this case sets forth the following factual averments. PaineWebber is a national securities brokerage firm. It has executed numerous securities transactions on behalf of appellant Shulick for which it has received payments, credits or other forms of remuneration commonly referred to as "order flow payment." When a client authorizes a securities transaction, PaineWebber directs or routes the order to a particular exchange, wholesale dealer or market maker for execution. In an effort to attract the order, the exchanges, wholesale dealers or market makers give PaineWebber a payment, credit, compensation, rebate, remuneration, fee reduction, clearance, consideration or other orders or inducements having an economic value. This "order flow payment" provides broker-dealers with economic incentives to place orders with one particular exchange, dealer or market maker over another.
Appellant claims that these order flow payments were not adequately disclosed to him, that he did not consent to their retention by PaineWebber, and that PaineWebber breached its fiduciary duty to him and other investors by concealing the details of these order flow payment transactions. Appellant argues that, because of the influence of order flow payments on the broker's actions, the investors do not receive the "best execution" possible on their securities transactions. Appellant also asserts that PaineWebber breached its fiduciary duty and duty of loyalty to and its contract with its investors.
Appellant seeks an accounting of all monies received by appellee during the relevant transactions, payment of damages for the value of the order flow payments received, attorneys' fees and costs, and a return of all commissions earned by appellee during transactions that violated appellee's fiduciary duty and duty of loyalty to its investors.
Since 1977, federal securities regulations have required that a broker acting as an agent for a customer disclose on a "trade confirmation" slip sent to the customer after a trade:
the source and amount of any other remuneration received or to be received by him in connection with the transaction; provided, however, that . . . the written notification may state whether any other remuneration has been or will be received and that the source and amount of such other remuneration will be furnished upon written request of such customer.
17 C.F.R. § 240.10b-10 (a) (3) (iii). These disclosure requirements were proposed by the SEC as "'a uniform rule applicable to all who wish to effect transactions for or with investors.'" Guice v. Charles Schwab & Co., 89 N.Y.2d 31, 39, 674 N.E.2d 282, 651 N.Y.S.2d 352 (1996) (citing Securities Confirmations Proposed Rule, SEC Exchange Act Release No. 12806).
By 1995, the SEC had rejected efforts to eliminate the practice of order flow payments, *fn2 and instead revised Rule 10b-10 to require that "at or before completion of [a Securities] transaction," the broker must:
give[] or send[] to [the] customer written notification disclosing . . . whether payment for order flow is received by the broker or dealer for transactions in such securities and the fact that the source and nature of the compensation received in connection with the particular transaction will be furnished upon written request of the customer. . . .
17 C.F.R. § 240.10b-10 (a)(2)(i)(C). Another provision added in 1995 requires that brokers disclose the:
broker's or dealer's policies regarding receipt of payment for order flow. . ., including a statement as to whether any payment for order flow is received for routing customer orders and a detailed description of the nature of the compensation received.
17 C.F.R. § 240.11Ac1-3 (a) (1). *fn3 All along, however, the SEC has declined to require disclosure of dollar amounts for order flow payments because it would "impose 'an extreme burden' upon broker-dealers 'to determine the amounts received from each order in time for a confirmation' and would entail expenses disproportionately high in relation to the potential benefits to customers." Guice, supra at 43, 674 N.E.2d at 288 (citing Payment for Order Flow, SEC Exchange Act Release No. 34-34902, reprinted in 59 Fed. Reg. 55006).
Therefore, it is clear that the practice of receiving payment for order flow has been considered by federal authorities and remains legal. The question is whether a common law cause of action for breach of fiduciary duty and breach of contract arising out of "inadequate disclosure" of these payments, or for failure to obtain consent of the investors to the broker's retention of such payments, may lie in light of these federal regulations. We agree with the trial court that it may not, and hold that appellant's lawsuit is impliedly preempted by federal law.
We have recently summarized the law on federal preemption:
Speaking generally on the subject of preemption, the United States Supreme Court stated in Cipollone v. Liggett Group, Inc., 505 U.S. 504, 120 L. Ed. 2d 407, 112 S. Ct. 2608 (1992):
Article VI of the Constitution provides that the laws of the United States "shall be the supreme Law of the Land; . . . any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any state to the Contrary notwithstanding." Art VI, cl. 2. Thus, since our decision in McCulloch v. Maryland, 17 U.S. 316, 4 Wheat. 316, 427, 4 L. Ed. 579 (1819), it has been settled that state law that conflicts with federal law is "without effect." Maryland v. Louisiana, 451 U.S. 725, 746, 68 L. Ed. 2d 576, 101 S. Ct. 2114 (1981). Consideration of issues arising under the Supremacy Clause "start[s] with the assumption that the historic police powers of the States [are] not to be superseded by . . . Federal Act unless that [is] the clear and manifest purpose of Congress." Rice v. Santa Fe Elevator Corp., 331 U.S. 218, 230, 91 L. Ed. 1447, 67 S. Ct. 1146 (1947). Accordingly, "'the purpose of Congress is the ultimate touchstone'" of preemption analysis. Malone v. White Motor Corp., 435 U.S. 497, 504, 55 L. Ed. 2d 443, 98 S. Ct. 1185 (1978) (quoting Retail Clerks v. Schermerhorn, 375 U.S. 96, 103, 11 L. Ed. 2d 179, 84 S. Ct. 219 (1963)).
Congress' intent may be "explicitly stated in the statute's language or implicitly contained in its structure and purpose." Jones v Rath Packing Co., 430 U.S. 519, 525, 51 L. Ed. 2d 604, 97 S. Ct. 1305 (1977). In the absence of an express congressional command, state law is preempted if that law actually conflicts with federal law, see Pacific Gas & Elec. Co. v. Energy Resources Conservation and Development Comm'n, 461 U.S. 190, 204, 75 L. Ed. 2d 752, 103 S. Ct. 1713 (1983), or if federal law so thoroughly occupies a legislative field 'as to make reasonable the inference that Congress left no room for the States to supplement it.'" Fidelity Federal Savings & Loan Assn. v. De la Cuesta, 458 U.S. 141, 153, 73 L. Ed. 2d 664, 102 S. Ct. 3014 (1982) (quoting Rice v Santa Fe Elevator Corp., 331 U.S. at 230, 91 L. Ed. 1447, 67 S. Ct. 1146)).
Cipollone, 505 U.S. at 545. Thus, federal preemption of state law can occur in three types of situations: where Congress expressly preempts state law, where preemption is implied because Congress has occupied an entire field, and where preemption is implied because there is an actual conflict between federal and state law. Pokorny, [902 F.2d 1116,] 1120 [(3d Cir. 1990)](citing Schneidewind v. ANR Pipeline Co., 485 U.S. 293, 99 L. Ed. 2d 316, 108 S. Ct. 1145 (1988)).
Cellucci v. General Motors Corp., 450 Pa. Super. 438, 676 A.2d 253 (1996), appeal granted, 546 Pa. 652, 684 A.2d 555 (1996).
An award of damages in a common law action can have the same regulatory effect as an affirmative legislative enactment and therefore may be subject to preemption by federal law. Cellucci, supra. See also International Paper Co. v. Ouellette, 479 U.S. 481, 93 L. Ed. 2d 883, 107 S. Ct. 805 (1987) (granting compensatory damages for conduct permitted by federal law is a form of regulation subject to preemption). Compare O'Donnell v. Big Yank, Pa. Super. , 696 A.2d 846 (1997) (where federal law establishes a "standard or other regulation" different from standards established by a "State or political subdivision of a State," a common law negligence action is not preempted).
Here, there is no express preemption, and the savings clause included in the Securities Exchange Act indicates that Congress did not intend to occupy the entire field of securities regulation:
The rights and remedies provided by this chapter shall be in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may exist at law or in equity; Nothing in this chapter shall affect the jurisdiction of the securities commissions (or any agency or officer performing like functions) of any State over any security or any person insofar as it does not conflict with the provisions of this chapter or the rules and regulations thereunder.
15 U.S.C. § 78bb(a) (emphasis added). Thus common law remedies appear to remain viable under the federal legislative scheme as long as they do not "conflict" with the provisions of the federal law.
Section 10b-10 describes the extent of disclosure required by brokers who receive "remuneration" of any kind from exchanges or other market makers as the result of securities transactions they execute on behalf of investors. Appellant has not alleged that PaineWebber failed to comply with these requirements. Instead, appellant essentially argues that this disclosure was not adequate to protect his interests, despite its compliance with federal regulations.
We conclude that preemption is implied because the claims for relief asserted by appellant create a conflict between federal and state law. The additional regulations that appellant seeks to impose on a broker-dealer under Pennsylvania common law disturb and disrupt the federal regulatory scheme and thus run counter to the objectives of Congress in enacting the regulatory scheme. We are persuaded by the rationale set forth by the Court of Appeals of New York, in Guice, supra:
Permitting the courts of each State to enforce the . . . common-law agency standards of disclosure on the practice of order flow payments in civil damage actions would unavoidably result in serious interference with the "accomplishments and execution of the full purposes and objectives of Congress" ( Hines v. Davidowitz, [312 U.S. 52, 67, 61 S. Ct. 399, 85 L. Ed. 581 (1941)]) in enacting the 1975 amendments, and would directly conflict with SEC regulations limiting the disclosure requirements regarding receipt of order flow payments to less exacting, post-transaction information on customer confirmation statements and disclosure of general policies of the broker on initial and annual customers' account statements.
89 N.Y.2d at 45, 674 N.E.2d at 289. See also Dahl v. Charles Schwab & Co., 524 N.W.2d 742 (Minn. 1996) (action seeking to require consent of investor for receipt by broker-dealer of order flow payments preempted by federal law). Appellant seeks to impose additional requirements on broker-dealers such as appellee which would conflict with the regulation scheme enacted by Congress. This regulation scheme was enacted in part for purposes of uniformity. We therefore hold that appellant's lawsuit is preempted by section 10b-10 of the SEC regulations, and that the lower court properly sustained appellee's preliminary objections.
Order sustaining preliminary objections affirmed.

And Now For Something Completely Different
The most-viewed story at the Palm Beach Post is an AP story headlined "Britney's Crotch Shots Take Web by Storm." Well, I read it and was struck by reporter Erin Carlson's parenthetical line about the photograph in question: "Be prepared to cringe if you dare to view the uncensored photos, splashed unceremoniously across the Web."
Okay, now I definitely had to see this photo. So I found it and am here to report that I didn't cringe a bit. In fact, I found the picture to be incredibly sterile. Nothing to it really. I thought about splashing it on this here Pulp, but thought better of it. Here's a link to the photo for those among you who can't help yourselves.

Gave more than I was expecting, was spot on time and worked with me when I didn't have the title on hand (1/2 up front). He knew where I should go to get a copy and was very cooperative with arrangements so we could complete the transaction. He's a busy guy and likes to work fast, so have your ducks in a row. Friendly, patient and very professional. Much as I hope people won't need his services, he's the best.

More From: David T. Koyzis
The quest to escape authority has been a persistent feature of the modern world, animating liberals and Marxists, Westerners and non-Westerners alike. Yet what if it turns out that authority is intrinsic to humanity? What if authority is characteristic of everything we are and do as those created in God's image, even when we claim to be free of it? What if kings and commoners, teachers and students, employers and employees all possess authority? This book argues that authority cannot be identified with mere power, is not to be played off against freedom, and is not a mere social construction. Rather it is resident in an office given us by God himself at creation. This central office is in turn dispersed into a variety of offices relevant to our different life activities in a wide array of communal settings. Far from being a conservative bromide, the call to respect authority is foundational to respect for humanity itself. ""In this timely and highly valuable book, Koyzis exposes the problems and points the way to solid, balanced answers. The subtitle of "We Answer to Another" sums it up: 'Authority, Office, and the Image of God.' Humans have been created in the image of God and called to serve the Creator--the One to whom we are ultimately accountable. To exercise a responsibility is to hold an office of real authority as servant-stewards of one another. We can thus participate in holding one another accountable to the responsibilities of those offices. Sound old-fashioned? It's the most contemporary word of wisdom we and our neighbors throughout the world need to hear today "" --James W. Skillen, President Emeritus, Center for Public Justice ""Liberal societies, regarding themselves as premised on the generative moral autonomy of the individual, have a constitutive problem with authority--freedom needs no justification, only authority. In this highly illuminating, wide-ranging, and exceptionally clear book, David Koyzis shows how this view not only destabilizes authority but actually diminishes our humanity. Authority is not autonomy but 'responsible agency, ' exercised individually and corporately in many diverse human settings--'offices'--that arise from our being created in God's image. Recovering authority as 'answering to another' makes us more, not less, human."" --Jonathan Chaplin, Director of the Kirby Laing Institute for Christian Ethics, Cambridge David T. Koyzis is Professor of Political Science at Redeemer University College, Ancaster, Ontario, Canada. He is the author of the award-winning Political Visions and Illusions (2003).

Hmmm. I served this delicious dessert (very easy to make, too) to my family tonight, but it wasn't Chocolate Mocha Pudding, more like Chocolate Mocha Soup. Either the recipe's cornstarch amount is wrong, or the chilling time is underestimated; I don't know what else would be the cause. It had chilled for just over 4 hours. We all agreed the taste was terrific, but the consistency left a lot to be desired.
This wasn't as delicious as I'd expected. It's just about okie. It was ready in the microwave in 4 minutes. In 5-6 minutes, it was horrible, it's better to stop in 4 minutes only. I whisked it once again after removing it from the oven. Then, I added 3 cups of milk and whisked again. Then, I kept it in the refrigerator. I'm not tooo happy with it. Something's missing in it :(
Because microwaves vary so greatly, I am very wary of taking the written cooking time for granted. I made this recipe using a double boiler, simmered the 'custard for 10 minutes when it thickened up perfectly, then chilled it. It's unfair to condemn a recipe when there are so many variances with 'nuke' machines. Thankyou Tebo for an easy to prepare pudding.

January 18, 1962
LOCAL 453, INTERNATIONAL UNION OF ELECTRICAL, RADIO & MACHINE WORKERS, AFL-CIO, an Unincorporated Labor Organization, Plaintiff,
OTIS ELEVATOR COMPANY, a Corporation, Defendant
This is a motion by a union, pursuant to Rule 65, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, 28 U.S.C.A., for a preliminary injunction to compel an employer to comply with an arbitration award reinstating an employee discharged for violation of a company rule prohibiting gambling. The employee had been convicted for the knowing possession of policy slips upon the employer's premises during working hours. The main action seeks permanent enforcement of the award together with damages. Jurisdiction is grounded on the Labor-Management Relations Act, 29 U.S.C.A. § 185, and the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C.A. § 9.
Injunctive relief before trial on the merits should be granted most sparingly. A strong showing of a reasonable probability of success in the main action and irreparable injury are indispensable prerequisites to the granting of such a drastic remedy. This is especially so where, as here, a preliminary injunction would not merely preserve the status quo pendente lite, but grant the party seeking it a substantial part of the ultimate relief obtainable after a successful trial. Securities and Exchange Commission v. Capital Gains Research Bureau, Inc., Docket No. 26942 (2 Cir., December 18, 1961); Speedry Products, Inc. v. Dri Mark Products, Inc., 271 F.2d 646, 648 (2 Cir. 1959). The court must, therefore, appraise the merits of this controversy to determine whether the union is entitled to the extraordinary equitable relief it seeks.
There is no dispute that a company rule prohibited gambling on the employer's premises under penalty of immediate discharge. Admittedly, the employee was discharged for violation of that rule following his indictment, prosecution, and conviction in the County Court of Westchester County for knowing possession of policy slips on the employer's premises during working hours. The union challenged 'the propriety' of the employee's discharge, and after exhaustion of grievance procedures under a collective bargaining agreement, the parties submitted the dispute to arbitration.
Following hearings, the arbitrator found that the employee had knowingly violated the plant rule against gambling and as a result had been convicted of a crime. Nevertheless, and despite the absence of evidence indicating any other reason for the discharge, the arbitrator concluded that the employee had been discharged without just cause. As he saw it, the employee's misconduct called for disciplinary action, but discharge was too harsh a penalty in view of the hardship inflicted on the employee's wife and four children, his seniority, good record, punishment by the authorities, and the lack of any disciplinary action against four other employees whom the arbitrator, but not the authorities, felt were guilty of the same offense. Accordingly, he directed the company to reinstate the employee without back pay from the date of discharge.
The union contends that the award should be enforced because the arbitrator acted within the scope of his power under his honest interpretation of the collective bargaining agreement. The employer argues, however, that the award is unenforceable because the arbitrator exceeded his power by making a compromise decision that the employee's conceded misconduct warranted suspension, but not discharge.
The threshold problem is whether the court has any business at all reviewing the merits of the arbitrator's decision, however bizarre or wrong it may be. Ordinarily, parties to an arbitration agreement will not be heard to complain about the result, if they have received what they bargained for. As a general rule, an arbitrator's decision is not open to judicial review, unless he has exceeded his power by deciding a matter not arbitrable under the contract or the submission. United Steelworkers of America v. American Mfg. Co., 363 U.S. 564, 80 S. Ct. 1363, 4 L. Ed. 2d 1432 (1960); United Steelworkers of America v. Warrior & Gulf Navigation Co., 363 U.S. 574, 80 S. Ct. 1347, 4 L. Ed. 2d 1409 (1960); United Steelworkers of America v. Enterprise Wheel & Car Corp., 363 U.S. 593, 80 S. Ct. 1358, 4 L. Ed. 2d 1424 (1960).
The initial question, therefore, is whether these parties did agree to arbitrate the dispute involved. United Steelworkers of America v. Warrior & Gulf Navigation Co., supra. Accordingly, we must look to the terms of the collective bargaining agreement, and the stipulated question submitted for arbitration, to ascertain exactly what rights these parties designed for themselves, and whether the arbitrator acted within the scope of the power delegated to him.
The applicable provisions of the collective bargaining agreement are set forth in the margin.
The agreement gives the employer 'the right to discharge any employee for just cause.' The union, however, has 'the right to challenge the propriety of the discharge' as a grievance. 'All differences, disputes or grievances between the parties that shall not have been settled' by the grievance procedure 'may be submitted to arbitration', and in such case, the decision of the arbitrator 'shall be final and binding upon the parties but the arbitrator shall not have the power to add to, subtract from, or modify the terms' of the agreement.
When exhaustion of the grievance procedure failed to settle this dispute, the parties stipulated that the question for the arbitrator to decide was: 'Has Joseph Calise been discharged for just cause, and if not what shall the remedy be?'
The agreement does not define what conduct constitutes 'just cause' for discharge. Nor does it lay down any criteria governing 'the propriety' of a discharge once the union lodges a grievance. Neither of the quoted terms has any definite meaning. Both are vague, general and flexible. They confer general rights, but neither the parties, nor the draftsmen, have troubled to tell us, or the arbitrator, exactly what those rights are, other than the right to differ about what constitutes 'just cause' for discharge.
That both parties intended to leave room for differences of views about the matter is clear from the very fact that they expressly left ultimate resolution of disputes about it to an arbitrator unfettered with rigid criteria. Undoubtedly, certainty of meaning was consciously rejected in recognition of a need for flexible standards to facilitate ad hoc solution of each dispute on its own facts to promote the paramount objective of industrial peace. Obviously when this dispute arose, both parties so construed the agreement, otherwise there was no point whatever in submitting anything to arbitration, for there was not the slightest question about the misconduct involved. Yet, they freely stipulated that the arbitrator should decide whether the employee had 'been discharged for just cause, and if not what shall the remedy be?' Words could hardly make clearer the arbitrator's power to decide the only real dispute, that is, whether the conceded misconduct was just cause for discharge, or whether milder disciplinary action was more appropriate.
Lest doubt remain as to who should have the last word on any differences that might conceivably arise as to what the parties intended by the general terms employed, the agreement expressly empowers the arbitrator to make a final and binding decision on 'All differences, disputes or grievances' between the parties. Surely such a plenary grant carries power to interpret the contract. It also brings into play the rule requiring that all doubt as to an arbitrator's power to settle a dispute should be resolved in favor of coverage. United Steelworkers of America v. Warrior & Gulf Navigation Co., supra, 363 U.S. at 582-583, 80 S. Ct. 1347.
The employer argues, however, relying on Textile Workers Union of America, etc. v. American Thread Co., 291 F.2d 894 (4 Cir. 1961), that when the union challenges a discharge for lack of just cause, the arbitrator's power is limited, under the terms of both the agreement and the submission, to deciding whether the employee was in fact discharged for just cause, or for some other reason. Otherwise, the employer urges, the right to discharge for just cause is no right at all, but an illusory opportunity to chance the outcome of arbitration. These arguments are plausible and, indeed, might have validity if the agreement had defined 'just cause' or provided that violation of a company rule would be sufficient, or if the stipulation had focused the issue on whether the alleged misconduct had in fact occurred, rather than on whether it constituted 'just cause' for discharge, or some other remedy.
The court must take the agreement and the stipulated submission as the parties made them. Both squarely put the question of what constitutes 'just cause' for discharge up to the arbitrator. We think it plain, therefore, that the collective bargaining agreement, read with the question submitted, does empower the arbitrator to settle the dispute involved.
The employer urges, nonetheless, that the commission of a crime by an employee upon the employer's premises is just cause for discharge as a matter of law. Of course, it is. National Labor Relations Board v. Federal Bearings Co., 109 F.2d 945 (2 Cir. 1940). Nevertheless, the court is foreclosed from considering that question, for the arbitrator is the last word, even on questions of law, once the parties have granted him final power to decide all differences and disputes between them. Philadelphia Dress Joint Board v. Rosinsky, 134 F.Supp. 607, 612 (E.D.Pa.1955), aff'd, 229 F.2d 438 (3 Cir. 1956); Carey v. Westinghouse Electric Corp., 6 A.D.2d 582, 180 N.Y.S.2d 203 (1st Dept. 1958), aff'd, 6 N.Y.2d 934, 190 N.Y.S.2d 1003, 161 N.E.2d 216 (1959).
Ordinarily, this would close our inquiry, whether or not we agree with the arbitrator's decision. United Steelworkers of America v. Enterprise Wheel & Car Corp., supra. Here, however, compelling reasons dictate a different course.
The misconduct involved here was not just an infraction of a company rule. It was a crime. The knowing possession of policy slips was, and still is, a misdemeanor under the law of New York. N.Y. Penal Law, McKinney's Consol. Laws, c. 40, § 974. The same statute which prohibits possession of policy slips also provides that a 'person who * * * is the owner of any place * * * where policy playing or the sale of what are commonly called 'lottery policies' is carried on with his knowledge or after notification that the premises are so used, permits such use to be continued, or who aids, assists, or abets in any manner, * * * is a common gambler, and guilty of a misdemeanor.' Responsibility for observance of that aspect of the New York Penal Law rests squarely upon the owner of the premises -- the employer. To deny him the power to discharge for the commission of such a crime upon his property exposes him to criminal prosecution.
Furthermore, this was not just a friendly wager. This was organized professional gambling. Calise not only kept policy slips in his possession, but also had four other employees working for him. Policy, along with bookmaking, is regarded by responsible law enforcement officials, state and federal, as the incubator of most, and more sinister, organized crime.
These unmistakeable pronouncements of the public policy against organized gambling cannot be lightly brushed aside merely because an arbitrator feels that discharge is too harsh. Were we to do so, the next arbitrator, moved by like compassion, could conclude with equal validity that no crime by an employee, however serious or injurious to the employer, would constitute just cause for discharge.
However inviolable the teaching that courts keep their hands off arbitration awards, they are not edicts proclaimed by divine right. Arbitrators are creatures of contract. They are no more above public law than the parties from whom they derive their powers.
Thus, a collective bargaining agreement may well give an arbitrator power to dispense his own brand of industrial justice, but the contract, and his power under it, are limited by, and must yield to, overriding public policy. This award clashes with that policy. It indulges crime, cripples an employer's power to support the law, and impairs his right to prevent exposure to criminal liability. The award is, therefore, void and unenforceable. Black v. Cutter Laboratories, 351 U.S. 292, 76 S. Ct. 824, 100 L. Ed. 1188 (1956); Hurd v. Hodge, 334 U.S. 24, 34-35, 68 S. Ct. 847, 92 L. Ed. 1187 (1948); Matter of Western Union Tel. Co., 299 N.Y. 177, 86 N.E.2d 162 (1949); Avco Corp. v. Preteska, 22 Conn.Sup. 475, 174 A.2d 684 (June 30, 1961, Conn. Superior Ct., Fairfield County).
Finally, equity is rooted in conscience. An injunction is an extraordinary remedial process which is granted, not as a matter of right but in the exercise of sound judicial discretion, and, then, only upon a clear showing of irreparable injury. No such injury is shown here.
Balancing the equities in the light of the undisputed facts -- the stark absence of any legitimate labor objective, the soiled hands of the beneficiary, and the risk to the employer -- , it would be unconscionable to grant extraordinary equitable relief in this sullied cause. Surely equity should not become privy to law-breaking by lending its aid to enforce an arbitration award which blinks realities, indulges crime, and offends public policy. An injunction, in these circumstances, would be tantamount to granting policy operators a license to violate the law and exploit defendant's employees. However enlightened the views of the arbitrator, or loose the rules of industrial justice, it is not the conscience of the Chancellor to fashion such an improvement in the working conditions of those engaged in the numbers racket.
Accordingly, the motion for a preliminary injunction is in all respects denied. This opinion shall constitute the court's findings of fact and conclusions of law. So ordered.

Stock investors are feeling confused of late–and you can't really blame them. The headline stock market indexes (Dow, S&P 500) edged up in mid-May to all-time highs. Yet many of last year's favorites continue to stumble: biotechs, social media, small caps. Perma-bears, sensing an opportunity to salvage their battered reputations, are snarling into TV cameras with spine-chilling predictions of an imminent crash.
Is it Apocalypse Now? I don't think so. Yet it's abundantly clear that some areas of the equity market became way too richly priced at the end of 2013 and into the first quarter of this year. Those stocks–and even whole industry groups–are taking a well-deserved bath, which may continue through most of the summer.
Furthermore, I agree with the bears that the ongoing "correction" in the glamour names will likely dent a broader list of stocks before all is said and done. When Mr. Market gets into a mean streak, he often lashes out indiscriminately, even if many of his targets only suffer a glancing blow.
But a steep marketwide drop (20% or more in the headline indexes) seems improbable. Three reasons why:
Frankly, the intense speculation on Wall Street last year worried me. Steady dividend payers lagged, while the LinkedIns and Twitters soared. Ah, but now the shoe is on the other foot! Our REITs, utilities and preferred stocks have climbed smartly this year, while the speculative dandruff has fallen to the floor. Could it be that a good part of the long-awaited "correction" has already taken place, right under our noses?
I'm not ruling out the possibility of a deeper pullback for the marquee indexes than we've seen so far. In fact, I expect it. However, I now believe the summer retracement may not take the S&P 500 more than 6%9% below its May peak.

I am a boob guy myself. Anyone who has seen my wife can attest to that. Boobs are always the first thing I notice about a woman.
That's a great picture and a sexy bra as well. Your ego has nothing to worry about.
"Do you prefer breasts or ass?"
It's a question I've been known to ask in the past. I'm always curious. We were laying together, naked, MM and I, just enjoying being comfy in bed together. Those moments are best, aren't they? You don't have to be anywhere or do anything. You can just lounge together, talking and kissing and laughing, with the rest of the world melting away.
He thought about it for a moment, then gave the typical male answer that he likes both. "Of course you like both, everybody likes both. But if you had to pick just one?"
"Breasts." He was confident in his answer, his fingers lazily finding my nipples, tweaking them softly, the pads of his fingers brushing against them. I snuggled into his arms, spooning with him as he cupped my breasts. I could feel him getting hard against me, slowly. MM is not one to rush in the bedroom.
And then, he had me flipped on my back and was moving down my neck and chest with long, lingering kisses that were wet, but never sloppy. I find that most men answer my question differently – they prefer a nice ass. I'm not saying that my ass is ugly or anything, but it is average. My breasts however? Well, I have cleavage for days. To hear that MM prefers breasts over ass was a huge turn-on, because breasts are definitely my biggest asset.
He buried his face cleavage, taking it all in, moving from kisses to more aggressive sucking and nipping and licking. He wasn't like the men I had been with in the past, enjoying my boobs for a few minutes before moving on to the main attraction. He was worshiping them, loving them, focused on making me feel good, but totally soaking in every moment of enjoying himself. He played roughly with my nipples, making me gasp, then followed with soft, fluttering touches, making me moan. He grabbed them and caressed them groped them and loved them. He made me feel beautiful and sexy long before we even moved below the belt to actually have sex.
He pulled me on top of him and I slowly lowered myself onto his waiting cock. Mmm, perfect. I leaned down to kiss him and began to move my hips, grinding against him, hard inside of me. His kissed trailed down my neck and found my breasts, and I shifted so they were in his face. He left out a low moan and sucked on my nipples hard, first the left, then the right. I sat upright on his cock and began to bounce, slowly at first, then faster and faster. My arms were on his chest, gently scratching, and pushing my boobs together, then I cupped them myself, playing with my own nipples as I bounced on him, his hands on my hips. As I was getting closer to orgasm, I raised my arms above me, stretching and he thrust into me as I was grinding against him.
Afterward, we were again lounging in bed, naked.
"Your boobs while we have sex. Wow. Just wow."
That's all he really said, but I feel as though if he was a smoker, he would have taken a long drag from his cigarette at that moment. My breasts were sore for days after, from the bouncing and grabbing, and I love that. And I can't tell you how hot it is to know that he loves it too.

Hi, Rori. Delicious post you have here! And what a delectable picture. I totally get the "camera-shy," thing, but I'm in total agreement with Josh. You have absolutely nothing to worry about, except learning to receive compliments, gorgeous girl! xoxo
I'm usually quite the same way when it comes to photographs of myself, too, so I understand! Sharing something that's already challenging in such a public forum can be daunting. But don't worry, Rori, we're here to support you!!! xoxo
I don't see how anyone could be an ass man when confronted by such a lovely set of breasts. That's a beautiful picture and a great story.
YAY, for breasts! They're all different! 8)
Sooooooo very happy to see the real you! You're beautiful!! And your cups are wonderfully palmable!!
Hi Rori,
I am definitely a boob man. If I have to choose a woman just by first look, I go for her boobs, yea… And you have that great boobs and cleavage, love that!
Hey Rori, your breasts are absolutely gorgeous . . . nice lingerie choice too! You have nothing at all to worry about. Thanks for being willing to put yourself out there and share your story with us. As a boob man myself, I'm looking forward to more sharing in the future.
YOU are beautiful. =)
Breasts, Boobs, Tits, whatever anyone calls them are the greatest. Breasts are the true symbol of feminism, and the bra which I truly fetish over is second.
Harvard would love to have an endowment like that. Simply scrumptious.
Breasts like that would turn even the most hard core ass man into a breast man instantly. Also I love that bra, I wish I had one like that for myself. Thank you for sharing your beauty with the world.
Thank you, Matthew! *flutters eyelashes*
Your post make me a little horny…and your breasts look so perfect, the right size but natural and soft…i think i could worship them for a long time !! Very very compliments !!
I think you should show these fantastic breasts and let see them naked…
Im all about the feet! Nothing like a sexy set off feet to get kinky with. Luckily I found a girl who has the sexiest feet and knows how to use them. How do you feel about foot play?
hi rori! i love the story and i am all out boobs. yours are so beautiful. i wish i could see the whole breast.
p.s. i bdt your ass is beatiful too id love to see it
i wish i could have boobs but i am happy with my dick that id shownyou if i could
I'm not just a boob man, but a super boob man. I love love LOVE breasts of all shapes and sizes. Kissing, caressing, fondling. I often don't even mind if we don't have penetrative sex as long as I can simply hold and kiss my partner's breast. Lactation is my ultimate fetish, and I wish more men would consider it instead of implants, since it's healthy, sexy, and natural.
Also, lovely picture. Yours seem very beautiful indeed.

Fixed odds betting terminals cause financial misery for those who become hooked. This bill seeks to reduce the maximum stake to £2 a spin
Sir, Successive governments have not adequately addressed the issue of fixed odds betting terminals (FOBTs), the addictive high-speed roulette machines in betting shops. These gambling terminals cause financial misery for those who become hooked.
A recent survey of machine gamblers undertaken for the government to identify problem gambling found that 20 per cent of men aged 25-34 who have played FOBTs in the past 12 months had experienced problems. The research also showed that those from more disadvantaged backgrounds were more likely to have problems with machine play. We therefore welcome the new private member's bill, tabled by Lord Clement-Jones,
