text: A Lennon shirt, high waisted jeans, two designer bags, and a puppy to boot, Mischa Barton was spotted roaming the streets of London. I am a a fan of high-waisted pants, but maybe paired with a tight fitting top, not with a tucked in loose John Lennon shirt. Typically, I think Mischa has a stunning face, but she looks a tad shoddy out there on the island of London. Love the bags. One is totally easy to ID and the other is fairly easy too! So let's begin Friday with another round of Name That Bag!

For many a trip to the dreaded death camps created by the Nazi's in World War II was a death sentence. Many wouldn't live for long after disembarking their train. Others were sentenced to hard labor that would eventually claim them or drive them to take drastic measures and attempt to escape. Most would be brought back, dead or soon to be dead. There are some stories that stand out from the rest. Men who dared to defy one of the most brutal forces in history, the Nazi regime. These men weighted the odds and were determined to do what few managed to do, escape. First we have the story of two men, whose motivation was not only to escape in order to ensure their own survival but the survival of others as well. They were determined to make it out and warn those that might be next for the camps. Would they make it out? Would anyone listen to what they had to say? Read more and find out. The next story is that of not one or two men finding their way out of a camp, but an all-out revolt. After a shocking note lets them know that they are slated for extermination, desperate men resort to desperate measures to try and survive. Can the son of a Rabbi and a former Soviet music major rally enough men to entertain certain death? Will they succeed and at what cost? Learn more about their story and find out if they made it to freedom. There is no doubt that the holocaust was one of the most shameful events in human history. There were triumphs though. Find out what became of these men who were desperate for survival. Comments From Other Readers "Sometimes it is easy to forget the brutality of the Nazis during World War II. The struggle that the Jews went through has been cast in shadow as we move on in time. The camps were a very real thing though. Very few found a way to escape the horror of these concentration camps. This book will help to enlighten the readers about what lengths men will go to in order to save themselves and the lives of others. Excellent story." - Phillip (Washington, United Sates) "This book is based on the true stories of those who were sent to death camps. They could be considered the fortunate few that were allowed to live. The story of those prisoners in Auschwitz who saw the atrocities there day after day saw trainloads of people brought in. It was the rumor that hundreds of thousands of other Jews were to be sent there to die immediately upon arrival that spurred a plan to escape and tell the world what was truly happening. This is a difficult book to read at times but it's a story that needs to be told! I encourage everyone to get this book today and read it!" - Valerie (Texas, United States)

text: Et me revoici avec mes découvertes métalliques Présent sur la BO de Matrix Reloaded, Unloco me plait de plus en plus. Dans le genre, on peut assimiler cela à un groupe du style d'Adema, Breach of trust et Chevelle. Leur morceau sur la BO, Bruises, m'a directement plus. J'ai récement été loué leur album, Becoming I.Y'a du bon là-dedans ! Du très bon même. Petit exemple avec Failure, à télécharger ici Les textes ICI Ils gagnent à être connus, croyez-moi Site officiel This is the story of a band that beat the odds. A band that blasted out of Austin just one year ago on the force of its debut album … and ran face-first into a wall. That's all history now. In the end, what we're left with is the story of a band that got a second chance and made it work. This is the story of Unloco, a band reborn and triumphant on Becoming I. For Unloco lead singer Joey Duenas, 2001 was probably the worst year of his life. He was depressed. His romantic life was unraveling. His voice -- ordinarily terrifying in its power and intensity onstage -- was falling apart beneath clouds of cigarette smoke and a stream of Jack Daniels. Most distressing was the letdown that followed the release that year of Healing, the band's first album. Dark and aggressive, it captured much of the intensity that had established Unloco as hometown favorites among Austin's heavy music community. Even so, Healing wasn't the smash that the band -- and the label -- had anticipated. A tour was set up in hopes that Unloco's explosive live shows would build the album's momentum. But as they were preparing for the road, another crisis erupted when Bryan Arthur suddenly left the group to take over the guitarist gig with Goldfinger. Moving quickly to fill the vacancy, the band connected with Marc Serrano, a young veteran of the Dallas music scene who was having second thoughts about the band he was working with at the time. The three members of Unloco drove north to hear Serrano at a local club. They were not disappointed. In fact, they invited him then and there to hang with them for a week in Austin, rehearse a bit, and see how things felt. The combination clicked immediately. Right after his arrival, Marc and his new bandmates took off on their tour. Slugging it out on stages for more than eight months, they deepened their sound and heightened their energy night after night. For this reason, when they received word from Maverick that they had to head back home to crank out a new album, they were more musically ready to be tested than they'd ever been. Still, it was no easy thing to be told, in effect, that this album would be their do-or-die project. They all knew what was on the line as they gathered back in Austin. From September through November last year they wrote new material -- 14 songs in September alone. These were demoed in November and December, then delivered personally by Duenas to Maverick in L.A. "I was like, 'Here, take this. I'm sick of it all.' The next day they were like, 'When can we get you into the studio?' They were just on it," the singer says, snapping his fingers. Purely in sonic terms, Becoming I is a revelation. Working closely with producer Mudrock (Godsmack, Powerman 5000, 3rd Strike), Unloco examined their own assumptions about themselves and explored possibilities they hadn't considered before. "I remember sitting with Mudrock in Dallas one night," Duenas says. "We were talking about where I wanted to go with the sound on this record, and he said, 'Well, heavy is good, but who are you to judge your own band and say you can only be heavy? I think you have so many different sounds in you, and I want to bring them out.' That's what I love about Mudrock: He has great ears and great ideas, and he's a great friend." More focused, more accessible, harder hitting, and softened at times by moments of unexpected reflection, Becoming I fulfills the band's promise of poetic candor and riveting performance. There are songs so personal that Duenas had to be persuaded to present them in public ("Texas"), songs that speak to the growing legions of fans who see in Unloco a mirror of their own fears and hopes ("Empty"), songs that are without exception honest, no matter what the cost of honesty might be.

The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread. ⥋ Mother Teresa
And he said to all, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself?
Luke 9:23-25.
This week, yet again, God set us on an unexpected course and brought us to an unexpected crossroad. The crossroad is familiar enough. But despite its familiarity there is something unsettling that takes place -- that must take place -- every time we find ourselves there.
In one direction is the world. In the other direction is Jesus. And, Jesus demands that we choose to follow Him or to follow the world. We are given the freedom to choose -- but choose we must.
The enemy of our souls, too, is familiar with this crossroad. And he will do everything possible to confuse us. As we contemplate which way to turn, Satan tells us that the easier path or the more comfortable path leads to Jesus too. "We don't really have to die to ourselves," he whispers in our ear. "God has put these desires in our heart. Why would the same God who gave you the desire to be loved, to be noticed and to be significant ask you to deny these things? You deserve to be loved by other people, don't you? You need to be loved by other people, don't you! You deserve to be happy!"
The world tells us that if we try to be "all things to all people" we will cheat ourselves out of happiness and peace. But the Bible tells us that "being all things to all people" is the mark of a disciple. We will not be known for how much we are loved by the people around us, but for how we love others. We will be known by our love for one another -- and because we love like Jesus. John 13:34-35.
If we look at the end of each of the Gospels we see from slightly different angles the mission that all followers of Jesus have in common. It is the mission born of love for God and for other people.
In Matthew, the mission is presented straightforwardly, and may seem simple enough. We are to "make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit," and teaching them to obey all Jesus commanded. Matthew 28:19.
In John, we get a sense of the peril we face in preaching the gospel -- of the sacrifice of our own life that will be required. Jesus tells Peter that loving Him will mean feeding His sheep. But, on the heals of this directive Jesus said to Peter "[t]ruly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you used to dress yourself and walk wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you do not want to go." Jesus said this to show Peter what kind of death he would experience to glorify God. After this stunning revelation Peter was left with two simple words -- "Follow me." John 21:18-19.
Here's how you will die, now follow me! What a compelling invitation. It was an invitation that Peter could never have accepted based merely on an intellectual understanding of Jesus. It was an invitation that made sense only for someone who actually experienced Jesus.
The end of the Gospel According to Mark, too, has Jesus instructing the apostles to preach the gospel to the nations. And, Jesus tells them that "these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well." Mark 16:17-18.
Finally, Luke records that Jesus explained to the disciples how everything written about Him in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms had to be fulfilled: "This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high." Luke 24:47-49.
Yes, the disciples would be His witnesses. But they could not do it on their own. They had to wait until the power of the Holy Spirit came upon them. And that power would not only be an internal, unseen power to persevere. It would be a visible power -- they would drive out demons, heal the sick and speak in different tongues; all in the name of Jesus.
In the day we live in many believe that the more spectacular manifestations of the power of the Holy Spirit no longer take place. The result of this is a faith based primarily, if not exclusively, on intellect. Others believe in the more spectacular manifestations of the power of the Holy Spirit, but treat them as a blessing for themselves or abuse them in some other way.
There is nothing that I have seen in the Bible to suggest that God -- or the way he reveals Himself -- is any different now than He has always been. And, I believe that we are right now seeing God do increasingly incredible things in our midst. But I also believe it is no coincidence that greater manifestations of God's power coincide with greater obedience on the part of God's people.
God manifests His power not to entertain us, but for His own glory. When we experience His power it gives us the courage to push forward. It gives us the strength and fortitude to preach the gospel in this dark world. It is His Spirit and his power alone that allows us to give up our own lives and instead to live for his kingdom. It is His transforming power that allows us to no longer crave love, attention, acceptance, significance etc. from other people, but instead to find contentment in Jesus. And, once we have found that contentment, it is his power alone that allows us to become all things to all people, so that by all possible means some might be saved.
It is the power of the Holy Spirit that allows us even to consider giving up our freedom, and becoming a slave to everyone. It is His power alone that allows us to give up our own dreams, aspirations, and even our basic needs in order to advance the gospel.
Jesus tells us that "[g]reater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends." And He calls us to give up whatever we must, and become whatever we must, so that some might be saved.
It is interesting to me that many have said that when we gather together lately they feel an overwhelming sense of love. This should not be a great surprise to since God is love. 1 John 4:8. And, as my wife has been pointing out, we always have the choice to be in the presence of love ... and indeed in the presence of God. But, that choice is not determined by the people we decide to spend time with. Ultimately, people will disappoint us if we look to them as our source of love.
No, the only way we can be assured of being in the presence of love is if we choose to love others. And, if we truly love others we will want them to know Jesus. And, we will sacrifice anything in order for that to happen.
Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not the result of my work in the Lord? Even though I may not be an apostle to others, surely I am to you! For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.
This is my defense to those who sit in judgment on me. Don't we have the right to food and drink? Don't we have the right to take a believing wife along with us, as do the other apostles and the Lord's brothers and Cephas? Or is it only I and Barnabas who lack the right to not work for a living?
Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat its grapes? Who tends a flock and does not drink the milk? Do I say this merely on human authority? Doesn't the Law say the same thing? For it is written in the Law of Moses: "Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain." Is it about oxen that God is concerned? Surely he says this for us, doesn't he? Yes, this was written for us, because whoever plows and threshes should be able to do so in the hope of sharing in the harvest. If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you? If others have this right of support from you, shouldn't we have it all the more?
But we did not use this right. On the contrary, we put up with anything rather than hinder the gospel of Christ.
Don't you know that those who serve in the temple get their food from the temple, and that those who serve at the altar share in what is offered on the altar? In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.
But I have not used any of these rights. And I am not writing this in the hope that you will do such things for me, for I would rather die than allow anyone to deprive me of this boast. For when I preach the gospel, I cannot boast, since I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! If I preach voluntarily, I have a reward; if not voluntarily, I am simply discharging the trust committed to me. What then is my reward? Just this: that in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge, and so not make full use of my rights as a preacher of the gospel.
Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God's law but am under Christ's law), so as to win those not having the law. To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.
1 Corinthians 9:1-23.

They are perhaps the most famous gay couple on television, winning Emmy's and ratings races. They're such good actors, in fact, that some people don't know that it's all an act -- for one of them at least.
The cast of "Modern Family" recently guested on "Inside the Actors Studio," telling stories and trading laughs with the venerable James Lipton. One most interesting phrase that came up was "gay for pay," which is how Jesse Tyler Ferguson describes his Emmy-winning on-screen husband, Eric Stonestreet.
"He's straight in real life, and they pay him X amount of dollars to be gay! And wouldn't anybody?"
As for Ferguson -- he's still a great actor, but there's less faking going on. "Like I said before, I was locking myself in my bedroom, playing the soundtrack of 'Les Miserables,' so..." he answered when asked if he was ever in the closet.

Avoid Being Defrauded. Security and your iPad POS
With the holidays upon us, it is time to prepare for an influx of customers and the possibility of being defrauded at any point. These five tips will help you maintain a successful business during the holidays.
1. Identify Fake Bills
The two obvious ways to detect large fake bills ($5, $10, $20, $50, and $100) is to hold the bill up to the light. Within the inner layers of the bill, you will find an image of the president's face and a strip that says the bill amount. Fake bills will not have this detail within, and there will be a lack of clarity when looking at the details. The image of the president's face is particularly intricate and dark. The Federal Reserve and Treasury Seals should be clear and distinct. The border of the bill is sharp, vivid, and the lines are never blurred. The serial number is always spaced evenly and is always same color as the Federal Reserve and Treasury Seal. Also, get a counterfeit detector pen and have accessible at all times. If the mark remains a yellow color, the bill is fake. If it turns dark brown, the bill is real and you can continue your transaction.
2. Give Receipts for Money Coming In
Though receipts are not "green", requiring employees to give receipts to customers is important for the owner to accurately track sales. By encouraging customers to expect receipts the cashier is required to enter the sale into the system, thus, the transaction is recorded within the point of sale.
3. Get Receipts for Money Going Out
Again, receipts. If there is money coming out of your store's pocket for any reason, it should be recorded on a receipt and given to the store owner for their records. All change should be collected as well.
4. Pop the Cash Drawer
Theoretically you could use any old shoe box to keep your store's cash throughout the day, however, by popping a cash drawer there is an additional security factor. ShopKeep designed the register to pop the cash drawer upon the completion of a transaction to limit the amount of time that the cash is not secure, and thus a shorten the amount of time for a possible theft to occur. The only way a cash drawer is opened is upon a manager's authorization. At the end of the day, the cash drawer must match the amount that the shift close implies.
5. The Short Change Scam
Recently there has been a "short change scam" all over New York City. Someone approaches the counter to make a small purchase with a large bill. Using a confusion tactic, the cashier gets tricked into giving the customer more change than is due. Encourage your employees to count change twice before giving it to the customer.

Then the table next to us got seated and got their drink order taken( our drink order wasn't taken till 20 min after we were seated) then our order was taken 10 mins later( that's when our drinks finally arrived) by time our food came out (at 1:47pm) the table next to us had eaten paid and another party was already seated!!! To top it off I saw a woman 2 tables down get up and get her table drink refills, and the manager.....standing in a corner watching the TV !!! I had never been to a BWW that had bad service( I'm from Oklahoma City) this was very disappointing!!!!

The fat lady is warming up her pipes for NBC's Meagan Good drama "Deception," with poor viewership for the freshman series contributing to the peacock's overall record-low mid-season ratings.
But with Monday's episode came a sliver of hope. The show had been more or less shedding viewers since premiering to 5.62 million on Jan 7. On Feb. 4, it hit a season low with just 3.08 million tuning in. However, the Feb. 11 effort saw an 18 percent uptick in viewers to 3.23 million — which is still not good.
"Deception" comes off as NBC's attempt to have its own version of ABC's runaway hits "Scandal," (a black female lead) and "Revenge" (a young woman going undercover in a wealthy family to expose secrets) all wrapped in one show.
"No," says the show's creator and executive producer Liz Heldens, who claims it was actually three movies that served as her inspiration.
"Two of my favorite movies are 'Donnie Brasco' and 'The Departed,' and then I was sort of thinking about how could you do an undercover show with a female protagonist, and at the same time NBC was looking for a soap. And so then I sort of thought could 'Donnie Brasco' and the movie 'Sabrina' have a baby? And so they did. So that was how it happened."
Critics believe "Revenge" is "Deception's" twin sister – the only difference being Emily Thorne's infiltration of the Graysons is a lone operation with the help of an expert hacker, while Good's Joanna Locasto hits the Bowers with FBI backing, and the help of her handler/ex-boyfriend Agent Will Moreno (Laz Alonso).
Good, who started shooting "Deception" just six days after she was cast, says the experience so far has been "really humbling."
"I really love playing this character, and I've really enjoyed being able to do so many things in one character, you know, with action, the drama and the love affair, and it's just a lot, and it's very satisfying creatively," she said.

I actually like the show, on the same level as I like Revenge. I hope it last.
The show is the "BOMB" to me! Well written and the actors are great—it is true to life they are very convincing in their roles and I really did not like the black lady until now……she is doing a great job with the part! To each THEIR own! but I will keep watching…..
until I looked at the bank draft which was of $8208, I be certain that my father in law was actualy receiving money in there spare time on their apple labtop.. there sisters neighbour has been doing this for under seventeen months and a short time ago cleared the mortgage on their condo and got a top of the range Lotus Carlton. I went here…… BIT40.ℂOℳ
This is show is boring. I have tried each week to watch this show and find myself either falling asleep or channel surfing. Bad writing, bad writing, bad writing.

Liz Ann Falcone's Profile
I think my aesthetic has been influenced by the Victorian era and the 1920's to the 1940's with the emphasis of the time on laces, beads, sequins, furs, satins,veils, tulle, ribbons,feathers and brooches. The Victorian era was so romantic with the heavy use of flowers and the meanings associated with each flower, ribbons, satins and velvets. The 1920's offered beaded dresses and headbands with feathers. The 1930's had the satin wedding dresses cut on the bias and huge bridal bouquets. The 1940's had the fitted suits with shoulder pads, hats with veils and feathers and the heavy use of brooches.
I try to incorporate the things that I love into my designs. I want them to be lush and full with vibrant colors. I consider myself a floral artist and hope you like my designs as much as I enjoy creating them for you. I would be honored if you choose me to do your wedding flowers as well, assuring you that…

I hate the phrase or label "jazz critic." I consider myself a "jazz advocate." I originally fell in love with the music of Ben Wendel when I heard a recording from a couple of years ago on a different label. Ben Wendel has recently release Frame on the Sunnyside label and the musical love affair has only deepened with time. It sounds a tad cliche but Frame would easily make the mythical top ten desert island list of discs you might be limited to if one found themselves having to whittle down their collection to their very favorites. Wendel is incredibly busy with the new record but was kind enough to answer a few questions for us!
A link to my review of Frame.
Tell us about Frame, the inspiration and perhaps inspiration or any conceptual ideas that went into this stellar release.
B.W. "Most of the tunes were written about the time I was moving from Los Angeles to New York. There were alot of emotions at this time. I was excitied, anxious, introspective and of course sad about leaving behind family in Los Angeles. "Leaving" was written at this time. Conceptually this is how the release developed and of course I wanted to stay working with a larger ensemble which certainly played a significant role with the New York band featured on this release."
The cover art is amazing, there is an incredibly cool contemporary vibe and I am wondering if this is in someway specificily tied in with the feel of the recording?
B.W. - "Yes, I really wanted to go off and try something different and a photographer friend introduced me to some new technquies with this particular shot "light painting" so while in Los Angeles on an unreleated project we found a place to shoot and began experimenting."
Having originally mistaken the bass clarinet makes this critic want to crawl under the nearest rock especially as a woodwind player myself (i'll use the excuse of reviewing a record number of disc utilizing the bass clarinet) but is this an instrument you plan to continue to use on recordings?
B.W. - "Absolutely, I love the sound and having been raised in a household by classical musicians being known as more than just a saxophone player is certainly important. A multi-instrumentalist woodwind player and composer is the natural direction I want to be heading for."
Can you clue us in on the creative process when it comes to a project?
B.W. "This is actually something I am still trying to figure out. I don't write to a theme or image. The music seems to come from a black void, a more meditative state that seems to allow for the feeling of creation and then ideas seem to flow through this process whether I am playing saxophone or at the piano etc. It's the feeling of making music, sort of the opposite of what Wayne Shorter is famously known for."
There is a rather distinctive sound to Frame. A contemporary yet old school approach to the sonic integrity. Has the more traditional jazz sound lost it's way or is it reinventing itself?
B.W. "This is an on going discussion in jazz circles today. With the advent of digital technology the Rudy Van Gelder days are somewhat pushed aside as new technology is allowing for faster and far more productivity than older techniques. Having grown up in Los Angeles I am a bit more in tune with some of the more technical aspects that go into the sonic color of the release.

OCCI Statement class getCursor() returns an empty ResultSet?
Jul 27, 2012 2:29 PM
I have a question regarding getCursor() method of Statement class. When I call Statement::getCursor() to retrieve a ResultSet when there's actually no data in database, it still returns me a valid ResultSet:"
oracle::occi::ResultSet* occiRS = _stmt->getCursor( columnIndex );
if( !occiRS || oracle::occi::ResultSet::END_OF_FETCH == occiRS->status() ) {
const std::string err = "No valid ResultSet found!";
throw Exception( err );
while( occiRS->next() )
int i = occiRS->getInt( 1 );
Above code doesn't throw any exception, which means ResultSet pointer is valid and its status shows DATA_AVAILABLE. But when I iterate through there's no data retrieved. Why would getCursor() return a valid ResultSet when there's actually no data? Is there any other ways to check whether there's valid data in ResultSet?
I have the same question

Credit has crunched, debt's dropped into denial,
Wall Street bailout busted with no mortgage files.
Detroit headed toward bankruptcy as we wait
Hoping they plan for solvent and greener days.
Wars erupt now from too many directions
As retirement investments go with a plunge.
While we push 2008 far out the gate
We must calmly use our time to contemplate
What has befallen and what may be coming
Before we all turn around and start running
To an island far from civilization —
A place to reverse bizarre machinations.
Our needs and goals we carefully examine
Although we may prefer life in a hammock.
Evaluate resources; can you save more?
Look for the ways to cut costs in every store.
All the failing financials might not bounce back
So quickly that we can risk waiting to act.
Review all your spending plans, budgets, and such.
It is an ordeal, but it can mean so much
When the future looks dicey and you prepare
To thrive through chaos behaving as a bear.
Eliminate debt; you've just got to do it.
Ask yourself now, what's required for you to live?
A warm home, healthy food – that's the beginning.
Transportation, insurance, polished grooming,
Other personal care, including your hair
Plus tools necessary for income to snare.
When you're trimming back to essentials each day
Know Internet and cable are here to stay.
With the economy nose-diving, in truth
Your mind must focus toward mentally acute.
Be smart as you plan for whatever may come;
If you go unscathed, you will save quite a sum.
The upside of this ditty is peace of mind,
Knowing you're preparing for 2009.

Created because he "wanted to make something ordinary" the Brillo Box series pushed the boundaries of what is art and challenged the ideas put forth by the Abstract Expressionist movement at the time. This plush is a must have for any Warhol fan and art collector alike.

ANN H. FLOWERS, PLAINTIFF,v.JOHN E. POTTER,POSTMASTER GENERAL, UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE, DEFENDANT.
Ann Flowers has sued the United States Postal Service (USPS) for unlawful discrimination based on disability, pursuant to the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 29 U.S.C. § 794(a); gender, pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(f); age, pursuant to the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, 29 U.S.C. § 626(c); and retaliation for engaging in protected activity, pursuant to these same statutes. (Flowers' original complaint included a claim of race discrimination, but she has abandoned this claim by failing to address the USPS's arguments regarding the claim. See Bombard v. Fort Wayne Newspapers, Inc., 92 F.3d 560, 562 n.2 (7th Cir. 1996).) Flowers claims that the USPS discriminated and retaliated against her when it failed to reinstate or hire her for an available position in its maintenance department.*fn1
USPS first employed Flowers in October 1970 as a distribution clerk. Flowers later became an electronic technician in the maintenance department at the Palatine Processing and Distribution Center in Palatine, Illinois. In October 1994, the Office of Workers Compensation Programs (OWCP) approved Flowers' claim for benefits due to major depression. In September 1995, her physician cleared her to return to work, and she requested reinstatement. USPS offered Flowers a full-time position in May 1996, subject to her commitment to enroll in an Employee Assistance Program and other conditions. She rejected the offer of employment and filed an equal employment opportunity (EEO) complaint protesting the conditions. Although USPS rejected Flowers' EEO complaint, she continued to receive worker's compensation benefits until December 2002.
In August 2003, Flowers' physician approved her to return to work. When she requested reinstatement, USPS denied her application. Flowers challenged the denial by appealing the decision to the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) and by filing an internal EEO complaint.
The MSPB rejected Flowers' claim due to her failure to request reinstatement within thirty days of cessation of her worker's compensation benefits, as required by applicable regulations. Flowers appealed this ruling to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which upheld the MSPB's decision. Specifically, the court determined that Flowers did not qualify for reinstatement because her original request was untimely. See Flowers v. Merit Sys. Prot. Bd., 197 Fed. Appx. 937, 939 (Fed. Cir. 2006) ("Flowers I").
In her EEO complaint, Flowers claimed that by hiring male technicians in the maintenance department during the time she sought reinstatement, the agency discriminated against her based upon her race, gender, age, and disability and in retaliation for prior EEO complaints. In November 2004, USPS rejected Flowers' EEO complaint. It noted that Raymond Janicek, a USPS manager of personnel services, had indicated that "reinstatements are one desirable manner in which the Postal Service fills vacancies that are not filled by promotion of qualified lower level employees." Def.'s Ex. 4 at 8. The agency found no evidence of discrimination, however, because the position at issue was filled by promotion and was not available to other applicants. The USPS also considered Janicek's statement "that [Flowers'] request for reinstatement remains on file and will be given consideration when the need arises to go outside to fill a vacancy." Id. at 6. Flowers did not appeal the USPS decision to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and did not file suit in federal court.
Flowers' present lawsuit is premised in part on evidence that predated or was contemporaneous with her EEO complaint. Specifically, on March 9, 2004, Janicek sent her a written response to her request for assistance with reinstatement. Janicek stated that "[i]n response to your inquiry, there is no 'form' to fill out for reinstatement. All that's required is your signed request." See Pl.'s Ex. 10. In addition, on January 14, 2005, Janicek sent Flowers a letter stating that her "request to be considered for an Electronic Technician position has been received" and that there were no vacancies at that time. Pl.'s Ex. 13. Janicek also stated: "We will contact you if an opportunity becomes available." Id.
Flowers says that USPS never contacted her about any available positions. She alleges that in 2007, she learned that USPS had hired men to maintenance positions in the Palatine facility. She later obtained a list of males who were hired into maintenance positions at the Palatine and Carol Stream facilities in 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007. Flowers claims that USPS discriminated against her by failing to consider her for those positions. She also alleges that USPS retaliated against her for the EEO claim she filed in March 2004 by failing to place her in any vacant maintenance position from 2004 through 2007.
Summary judgment is appropriate if "the pleadings, the discovery and disclosure materials on file, and any affidavits show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law." Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(c). The Court views the record in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party and draws reasonable inferences in that party's favor. Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, 477 U.S. 242, 248 (1986); Lesch v. Crown Cork & Seal Co., 282 F.3d 467, 471 (7th Cir. 2002). A genuine issue of triable fact exists only if "the evidence is such that a reasonable jury could return a verdict for the nonmoving party." Anderson, 477 U.S. at 248.
1. Discrimination claims
A plaintiff in a suit under the Rehabilitation Act, Title VII, or the ADEA may attempt to prove discrimination by either direct or indirect evidence. See, e.g., Van Antwerp v. City of Peoria, 627 F.3d 295, 297 (7th Cir. 2010); Phelan v. Cook County, 463 F.3d 773, 779 (7th Cir. 2006); Silk v. City of Chicago, 194 F.3d 788, 798 n.6 (7th Cir. 1999). Flowers relies only on the indirect method, which requires her to first establish a prima facie case of discrimination.
One element of Flowers' prima facie case is proof that she was qualified for an open position. See Hobbs v. City of Chicago, 573 F.3d 454, 460 (7th Cir. 2009) (gender discrimination); Sembos v. Philips Components, 376 F.3d 696, 700 (7th Cir. 2004) (age discrimination); Garg v. Potter, 521 F.3d 731, 736 (7th Cir. 2008) (disability discrimination). The Federal Circuit has already determined that Flowers does not qualify for reinstatement into a maintenance position. Flowers I, 197 Fed. Appx. at 939. That aside, the postal handbook provides that an "applicant [seeking reinstatement] must meet the qualification requirements for the position, including any currently required examinations." See Def.'s Reply, Ex. I at 5 (emphasis added). The maintenance selection system handbook states that maintenance craft career employees are given first priority in filing vacancies in maintenance. See id., Ex. G at 5. The handbook also includes an employee maintenance position selection form, which lists the various exams an applicant must complete depending on the position she wishes to fill. Ricky Hilliard, manager of maintenance, testified that maintenance employees must take an examination to qualify for a maintenance position and must stay updated on the department's equipment by reading manuals or going to training classes. See Hilliard Dep. at 42-43.
Flowers contends that because she sought reinstatement, she did not need to take the required maintenance exams. She claims that like other long-term USPS employees, exams she took over twenty years earlier qualified her for a maintenance technician position at the relevant times. See Pl.'s Br. at 7-8. Flowers bases her position on Hilliard's testimony that employees who were qualified under the older maintenance system did not need to take additional examinations and were grandfathered in to work in new maintenance systems that went into effect in 2007 and 2008. See Hilliard Dep. at 43-44. Flowers also relies on communications she received from Janicek that indicated that she did not need to do anything to be considered for a maintenance position other than to make her wishes known.
Flowers' contention that she need not take examinations currently required to qualify for the position is incorrect. At the time in question, Flowers had not worked for USPS for about ten years. In addition, the Federal Circuit has held that she did not qualify for reinstatement. See Flowers I, 197 Fed. Appx. at 939. Nothing in the evidence that Flowers cites suggests she is entitled to grandfathering or any other special consideration given to then-current USPS employees. Moreover, written USPS policy reflects that even an applicant who is eligible for reinstatement must qualify for the position and complete "any currently required examinations." See Def.'s Reply, Ex. I at 5.
Flowers seeks to rely on Janicek's assurances that she was eligible for reinstatement and the fact that in responding to her requests, he never indicated that she needed to take any sort of examination. Even if construed in the light most favorable to Flowers, this evidence does not create a triable issue of fact regarding her qualification for the positions at issue, a necessary element of a prima facie case of discrimination. The policies and rules cited earlier reflect that Flowers was not, in fact, eligible for the positions in question. Even if Janicek suggested otherwise, "estoppel will not operate against the government where a plaintiff has relied on the erroneous advice of a government agent." Estate of Kunze v. Comm'r of Internal Revenue, 233 F.3d 948, 952 (7th Cir. 2000); see also Cheers v. Sec'y of Health Edu. & Welfare, 610 F.2d 463, 469 (7th Cir. 1979) ("Parties dealing with the Government are charged with knowledge of and are bound by statutes and lawfully promulgated regulations despite reliance to their pecuniary detriment upon incorrect received from Government agents or employees.").
Even if a reasonable fact finder could determine that Flowers was eligible for the position, her discrimination claims nonetheless would fail. To establish a prima facie case, Flowers must also show that there was at least one similarly situated person outside of her protected class who was treated more favorably. See Hobbs, 573 F.3d at 460; Sembos, 376 F.3d at 700; Garg, 521 F.3d at 736. Flowers has provided a list that includes people she contends were not previously with USPS but were hired into maintenance positions from 2004 through 2007. USPS personnel records reflect, however, that those same persons began working for USPS in 1984, 1986, 1987, 1989, 1998, and 2002.*fn2 See Def.'s Reply, Ex. F. In short, no reasonable jury could find any of these persons to be similarly situated to Flowers, who was not a current USPS employee at the times the maintenance positions were filled.
For these reasons, defendant is entitled to summary judgment on Flowers' discrimination claims.
2. Retaliation claim
The fact that Flowers was not qualified for reinstatement undermines her claim of retaliation just as it undermines her claim of discrimination. See Cichon v. Exelon Generation, LLC, 401 F.3d 803, 812 (7th Cir. 2005) (plaintiff claiming retaliatory failure to hire must show she had the qualifications required for the position).
For the reasons stated above, the Court grants defendant's motion for summary judgment [docket no. 68] and directs the Clerk to enter judgment in favor of the defendant.
