No-Shopping | Private Tour
Tuesday to Sunday
Big Wild Goose Pagoda | Xi'an City Wall | Shaanxi History Museum | Drum Tower & Bell Tower | Muslim Quarter
FREE cancellation at least 3 DAYS in advance
8:00-8:30 a.m. Xi'an downtown hotel pickup
9:00 p.m. Big Wild Goose Pagoda Square (Dàyàntǎ Guǎngchǎng, 大雁塔广场) (about 30 minutes)
This 64-meter-high (210 ft) square pyramid structure was built in 652 AD during the Tang Dynasty to house Buddhist scriptures brought to China from India by a legendary monk called "Xuanzang" in Chinese. The pagoda's name was allegedly inspired by Journey to the West, a classic Chinese novel. Climb to the top of the pagoda (additional fee applies) to see fabulous views of Xi'an.
10:30 a.m. Xi'an City Wall (Gǔ Chéngqiáng, 古城墙) (about 1 hour)
Dating from the Ming Dynasty, this is one of the finest and most well-preserved walls in China. In the past, a deep and wide moat, complete with drawbridges, served as a city protection barrier. Today, the moat has been filled and transformed into a park. The wall makes for a pleasant stroll where visitors can get a different perspective of the battlements and towers.
12:00 p.m. Lunch at a local restaurant
1:30 p.m. Shaanxi History Museum (Shǎnxī Lìshǐbówùguǎn, 陕西历史博物馆) (about 1.5 hours)
Shaanxi History Museum showcases the highlights of these ancient civilizations, reproducing a grand complex of buildings in the Tang architectural style. Located in the suburbs south of Xi'an, northwest of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the Shaanxi History Museum opened its doors to the public in 1992, and features some 370,000 artifacts from Chinese prehistory as well as its imperial dynasties from the Qin onward.
3:30 p.m. Bell Tower (Zhōnglóu, 钟楼) & Drum Tower (Gǔ Lóu, 鼓楼) (30 minutes)
Two of Xi'an's most important landmarks. In the past, an enormous bell in the Bell Tower used to announce the time of day for the city's residents. It also indicated early warning signals in case of attack by rival rulers. Nowadays, the top level of the tower serves as a platform from where panoramic views of the city can be seen. Featuring several drum shows daily, the Drum Tower is located near the Bell Tower and sits at the entrance to the city's Muslim Quarter.
4:30 p.m. Muslim Quarter (Huímín Jiē, 回民街) (about 40 minutes)
Xi'an's Muslim Street is the epicenter of the city's Muslim community, dating back to the days of the Silk Road. Lined with Ming and Qing Dynasty-style architecture, Muslim Street and the surrounding warren of backstreets make up Xi'an's lively Muslim Quarter, located between the Drum Tower and the Great Mosque. Featuring countless restaurants and shops—all run by local Muslim merchants-including open-fronted halal butchers (not for the faint-hearted), sesame oil workshops and street vendors hawking all kinds of delicacies, the streets are vibrant and full of life.

Carson motorcyclist killed in crash identified as Kyle Banko
March 4, 2013
(AP) – The Nevada Highway Patrol says a motorcyclist has been killed after he tried to pass a car in a no passing zone on the winding mountain highway connecting Reno to Virginia City.
The victim was identified as 24-year-old Kyle Banko of Carson City. He died from injuries he suffered in Saturday's crash about 2 p.m. on State Highway 341 about five miles south of the intersection with U.S. Highway 395.
Trooper Michael Edgell says Banko was on a sport bike headed down the hill on the Geiger Grade toward Reno when he tried to pass a Subaru Outback near a lookout point. Investigators say he clipped the left side of the vehicle and was ejected from the cycle. No one else was hurt. Both highway lanes reopened about 6:30 p.m.

The Deal
$249 for a four-hour, all-inclusive sunset fishing trip for six ($500 value), which includes:
- Tackle
- Bait
- Fishing licenses
- Nonalcoholic drinks
- Snack
Once aboard the 61-foot fishing yacht, groups of six set sail around the Atlantic equipped with everything they need for a successful fishing trip. Clients cast their lines in the hopes of catching silvery tarpons, which can grow up to 8 feet long and 280 pounds, or even sharks. Those lucky enough to snag a shark, however, don't need to feel guilty as all sharks caught will be measured, tagged, and released back into the wild.
Curt-A-Sea Aquatic Adventures
Captain Curt has been fishing and diving in the water of the Florida Keys since he we a young child. Now, as the owner of Curt-a-Sea Fishing Charters, he leads groups on fishing expeditions and tours in these same waters. His groups go fishing for tuna and wahoo offshore and redfish and snapper in the backcountry. Inshore, the fishers can look for sailfish and even kingfish by keeping an eye out for their tell-tale scepters. For a bait-free outing, try a snorkel or scuba trip down to a submerged wreck or coral reef. Meanwhile, island-hopping trips take visitors to the best beaches, shopping centers, and restaurants around the Keys.

The Breeders
21 Aug 2009: Washington, DC
Breeders rock is beautiful in that euphoric, perfect, bubblegum way. But it's also fractured and deformed. Like a one-legged runway model or a beautiful baby who just doesn't look quite right (maybe a touch of the downs or fetal alcohol syndrome). The music doesn't go where we expect it to. We are distracted by its catchiness and arrested by its twisted rictus. It's why the Breeders, more than any other band (except, well, the Pixies, right?), own that sweet spot between arty punk and sweet hearted pop. Mesmerizing, and even after all these years, the chord changes surprise us with their skewed, out-of-step progression. Imagine if Blink 182 et al had taken their cue from the Breeders instead of the straight-ahead sped up blues of Stiff Little Fingers and the Buzzcocks. The '90s would have been a lot more interesting, that's for sure.
Listening to "No Aloha", the first song performed by the Breeders after taking the stage with effervescent smiles all around, we are treated to straightforward but infinitely satisfying chugging rhythm guitar. But beyond that, the song is so weird. The guitar notes strain and bend and stand up on their tiptoes as if to reach some great height. Meanwhile Kim blows spoken-word smoke rings around her mic, her ethereal vocals bringing at least superficial significance to otherwise nonsensical lyrics. "Motherhood means mental freeze," indeed.
Even "Cannonball", which has achieved pop cultural ubiquity even in the mainstream, is pretty whack, but in the best way. The crowd erupted when Kim began chanting the opening "A-Hoooom Hmmmm" into a foghorn. Then—one of the most instantly recognizable bass riffs ever followed by the clickety-clack of drumsticks. You'd think that the band would be sick of playing their one semi-hit, but they seemed overjoyed to have the opportunity to play it one more time. Kim joked awkwardly with the crowd, like a tipsy person trying to not come off as tipsy, but her exuberance made up for any bad jokes.
The night's enthusiasm could be attributed to some fun serendipity. Current bassist Mando Lopez took the night off to help his wife through childbirth, so original bassist Josephine Wiggs took over with almost no opportunity to rehearse. Though the rest of the group shared a few giggles during her performances of some of the band's recent output from Title TK and this year's Mountain Battles, you'd have thought she never left the band. Everything sounded "on". New songs included "Bang On", a cheerleading tune with an almost hip-hop beat, and "Walk It Off", a warped, unabashedly Pixies-esque number.
They stuck mostly to material from Last Splash and Pod, leaving no one with the desire to shout out any requests. They even threw us a few Amps songs, "Tipp City" and "Hovering", complete with bratty percussion from Kim and Kelly's chopped 'n' screwed vocals modulated by drummer Jose Mendelez. Kim dusted off her fiddle for "Drivin' on 9", plucking and swinging along with rolling tumbleweed percussion. The Deals make little effort to sing in unison, but when their voices accidentally sync up, it's a sublime thing. Twin sirens leaning forward, eyes closed, projecting girlish cuteness over devastating salvos of distortion and ringing feedback. Tonight's rendition of Iris was a real monster, giving Kim a chance to open up her vocals, with a few visceral squeaks here and there, proving that she's pushing it to the limit.
Anyone disappointed by the night's set list may as well just give up on life, because the best material from each album was represented, naturally weighted towards the older stuff. It made me happy when I left the venue without hearing a single request for a Pixies song. Maybe the ongoing Pixies reunion has sated concertgoers' desire for a taste of that brand of nostalgia, but the show was just that great. One bro did request "Freebird", but you'll have that.
We should all be grateful that there's some creative fix that Kim Deal doesn't achieve while touring with the Pixies. One gets the feeling she's still doing that for the money, and keeps schlepping across the globe with the Breeders for the fun of it. Maybe if they'd ever really gone away the Breeders would be playing enormous concert halls instead of the Black Cat. Let's be happy things didn't turn out that way.

The City University of New York
Motivated by an ongoing commitment to performance improvement, CUNY seized upon the proposal in Governor Cuomo's 2015 "Opportunity Agenda" and a provision in the New York State FY 2016 budget appropriations bill to develop a Strategic Investment Initiative to advance priorities shared by the university and the State of New York.
Through targeted investment in projects proposed by CUNY's 24 colleges and professional schools, the initiative is intended to expand access to higher education, enhance academic and post-graduate success, increase degree completion, support research and community engagement, and expand online and experiential learning opportunities. New York's 2016 Executive State Budget allocated $12 million to fund performance improvement projects at CUNY's senior colleges. CUNY supplemented this amount with $8 million and extended the initiative to include its 7 community colleges.
In Fall 2015, CUNY colleges and professional schools were invited to submit proposals for innovative and scalable, evidence-based initiatives that advance one or more university and state priorities. The university awarded funding to 41 out of 65 submitted proposals with each of its 24 colleges receiving funds for at least one project.
Funded projects are now in the implementation phase, with hiring, procurement, training, and infrastructure-building expected to continue through the academic year. Colleges will report on implementation progress in May.
Information about how the FY 2017 state appropriation of $12 million for the senior colleges will be allocated will be available later this spring.

I have to agree at this point. My key experience with Spring is with debugging issues with it. On the last major project, virtually all issues that managed to slip past continuous integration were caused by mistakes in Spring files, which march straight past the compiler and in many cases past the unit tests and are found by the end user instead. The worst problem was a stray 'singleton="true"' that someone had put on a bean by accident through some careless cut and paste. It caused some financial reports to return subtly different data when the reports were repeated, and took over a month to find and fix. The end result was a whole host of assertions in the code entitled "dodgy stuff that Spring might do", and it aged us by years. > Now, what can we do ? I think that the way to go is to have the > configuration in the DIT, with LDIF based configuration files (like > OpenLdap has). What I have been doing with config files is defining the structure of the config files with an XSD, and then reading in the config file at the outset using xmlbeans autogenerated from the XSD. Like Spring, your config files are in an XML format, and like Spring, you end up with a set of Java beans that you can query to read your config, but unlike Spring, the format of the config file has a fixed structure validated against an XSD, and your code is validated by your compiler before it hits the end user. What this gives you is a (reasonably) sensible error message if the user makes a mistake in the config file, as you ask xmlbeans to validate the file when you read it in. In addition, making changes is a breeze: Change the XSD, regenerate the xmlbeans, wherever you have a compile error, that's where you need to change your code to support your new structure.

Warren's Wrong to Be Wary of Weiss
Give the guy a hearing, if not the job.
It says something wonderful about U.S. politics that a nominee for a heretofore obscure Treasury Department post has prompted a spirited debate about the role of government in the markets and the power of Wall Street in Washington. It says something not so wonderful that this debate has been marked by lazy assumptions -- even as the nominee in question has yet to make his own case.
That nominee, for undersecretary of Treasury for domestic finance, is Antonio Weiss. There is no doubt that President Barack Obama was well within his rights to nominate him for the job, that Weiss is well qualified for it, or that the Senate should confirm him. That said, it's worth examining what exactly the job requires and why exactly Weiss deserves a hearing.
The undersecretary for domestic policy oversees capital markets, financial institutions, consumer protections and not-insignificant matters like the national debt. For the last couple of decades, as an investment banker at Lazard in the U.S. and France, Weiss has been in the middle of complex financial deals involving businesses, banks, hedge funds and foreign governments. This is exactly the kind of real-world decision-making experience that will come in handy when interest rates finally start going up again -- as they're expected to this year -- and the markets get jittery.
Senator Elizabeth Warren, Democrat of Massachusetts, disagrees, and is leading a campaign against his nomination. Her primary objection seems to be that there's too much Wall Street at Treasury.
Actually, the opposite is the case. Of the top people at the department, none have made careers in finance. The upper echelon of the department is heavy on government, academic and regulatory experience. Actual market experience is missing. And Weiss's broad contacts and experience in Europe could prove useful as instability abroad threatens the nascent U.S. recovery.
Warren may be (understandably) worried about regulatory capture: when watchdogs are too close to the industry they are supposed to be overseeing. This anxiety grew, with Warren and among her supporters, when the lame-duck Congress weakened the Dodd-Frank financial reform law last month.
But Weiss's firm is not governed by Dodd-Frank, sells no financial instruments and had little if anything to do with the financial collapse. There is no evidence he opposes Dodd-Frank, which Warren has fought so hard for, much less that he would work to dismantle it.
About that "evidence": Wouldn't it be nice to hear from the man himself? In confirmation hearings, maybe?
Then Weiss would have the opportunity to respond to Warren's specific concerns -- about Dodd-Frank and so-called tax inversions, another complicated subject on which his record has been called into question. More important, Weiss might even have the chance to say why he's the right person for the job, how he would carry out its basic duties and what he would do if, say, interest rates rose or Puerto Rico defaulted.
So far, the Weiss debate has had a slightly removed, rimshot quality to it. That's not only because Weiss has been absent from it, but also because the issue that most animates Warren and her acolytes is not really the proper role of the Treasury undersecretary for domestic finance. It's what they see as the outsize influence of Wall Street in Washington and the Democratic Party.
That's a perfectly valid debate. But it's not fair -- to Antonio Weiss, the Treasury Department or, dare one say, the country -- to frame it around a single nominee. At the very least, Weiss should be afforded the opportunity to weigh in, on the specific charges as well as the larger question, in hearings this month before the Senate Finance Committee.

NIPISSING DISTRICT HOUSING CORPORATION. ORGANIZATIONAL ASSESSMENT 1 Joint DNSSAB/NDHC Board Session Sept 19 th 2013
AGENDA Introductions Purpose of Joint Board Meeting Overview of Organizational Assessment Summary of Threshold Report and Recommendations Discussion of Recommendations Next Steps 2
INTRODUCTIONS DNSSAB Board Members NDHC Board Members DNSSAB Staff NDHC Staff Consulting Team 3
PURPOSE OF JOINT BOARD MEETING To give direction on threshold issues fundamental to the future roles, responsibilities and governance of NDHC 4
OVERVIEW OF ORGANIZATIONAL ASSESSMENT OVERALL GOAL Provide an appraisal of, and recommendations for improving, NDHC's performance, enabling environment, Board, staff and resident capacity and organizational purpose 5
OVERVIEW OF ORGANIZATIONAL ASSESSMENT OBJECTIVES To ensure that: effective investment choices are being made there is organizational capacity to meet changing legislative and economic circumstances stronger relationships are established between NDHC and DNSSAB there is solid alignment between NDHC's organizational and service delivery goals with those of the DNSSAB and its 2011-2014 Strategic Plan 6
OVERVIEW OF ORGANIZATIONAL ASSESSMENT PROCESS Surveys of Board members and staff Review of corporate policy documents, internal data, Board minutes, financial statements, organizational studies, etc. Environmental scan of relevant external data and literature Interviews/focus groups with all staff of NDHC, senior staff of DNSSAB, Tenant Advisory Committee Tours of buildings Interviews with NDHC and DNSSAB Board members Review of Best Practices Elsewhere Development of Thresholds Report Preparation of Final Report and Recommendations Ongoing meetings/discussion with Steering Committee 7
8 THE OPPORTUNITY Message from DNSSAB CAO Important crossroad for NDHC Properly designed and implemented, the next generation NDHC can best: Meet changing housing needs Build capacity for developing business cases for renewal Build capacity to undertake capital works Anticipate and deal effectively with aging housing stock with replacement value in excess of $100 million Consider entrepreneurial-based approaches that involve private sector funding Achieve role clarity between DNSSAB and NDHC Boards Save money by sharing DNSSAB's corporate and other resources Support the DNSSAB's 10 Year Housing and Homelessness Plan
SUMMARY OF THRESHOLD REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS Purpose of Report: To give direction on threshold issues fundamental to the future roles, responsibilities and governance of NDHC 9
THRESHOLD ISSUES There are three issues fundamental to the future direction of NDHC: 1. Should the governance model remain as an autonomous, self- governed business entity, or should it be a service entity operating as part of Shareholder's organization? 2. Should NDHC focus activities entirely on management of existing portfolio, or expand activities to include development of new housing supply, regeneration of existing properties, other potential businesses? 3. Should current composition of the NDHC Board remain or should it move towards a more "skills-based" Board 10
PROCESS FOR PREPARATION OF THRESHOLD REPORT Conducted interviews with Board members and senior staff of NDHC and DNSSAB Reviewed Shareholder Declarations of similar Service Managers elsewhere in Ontario Reviewed LHC organizational studies conducted by other similar Service Managers Reviewed relevant background documentation provided by DNSSAB and NDHC Discussed with Steering Committee 11
1. CORPORATE STRUCTURE AND GOVERNANCE NDHC currently operates as autonomous business with independent Board of Directors appointed by DNSSAB, who is sole shareholder of NDHC Board is responsible for supervising management of business affairs of NDHC and for establishing policies to develop and maintain a prudent financial operation Board members and staff widely agreed that this model was preferred, as it was effective in enabling NDHC to operate the business in an efficient and responsive manner without undue restrictions from DNSSAB 12
1. CORPORATE STRUCTURE AND GOVERNANCE As an independent business corporation, NDHC has greater flexibility than DNSSAB to undertake activities such as developing housing or accessing funds under government housing programs Enables clear distinction between DNSSAB's two roles as shareholder of NDHC and Service Manager It was felt DNSSAB could protect its interest in NDHC through strong accountability framework and reporting protocol Two organizations should work hand-in-hand to achieve strategic plans that support the 10 Year Housing and Homelessness Plan 13
1. CORPORATE STRUCTURE AND GOVERNANCE Numerous other Service Managers maintain similar relationships with Local Housing Corporations (LHC's) They reported that maintaining a separate LHC: Encourages inclusion of resources Enhances risk management Supports service excellence Encourages flexibility and innovation Enhances stakeholder/partner relationships Improves efficiency Enhances accountability Clarifies strategic alignment of organizations 14
1. CORPORATE STRUCTURE AND GOVERNANCE Recommendation One It is recommended that the corporate structure of NDHC remain an autonomous Local Housing Corporation with an independent Board of Directors, with a clearly defined accountability relationship between NDHC and the DNSSAB. 15
1. CORPORATE STRUCTURE AND GOVERNANCE Governance model is also a key threshold issue Four potential options: Working Board, Advisory Board, Governance Board, Policy Governance Board Working Boards are most suited to volunteer organizations with little or no staff Advisory Boards have no independent decision-making authority Governance Boards (as NDHC) provide oversight to organization and have decision-making authority Policy Governance Boards direct an organization through policy and delegate oversight to the CEO 16
1. CORPORATE STRUCTURE AND GOVERNANCE Governance model of oversight and policy direction best suits NDHC and mirrors model for most LHC's in Ontario Recommendation Two It is recommended that the Governance Model remain a Governance Board which provides oversight and policy direction for NDHC. 17
2.NATURE OF BUSINESS ACTIVITIES Previous Local Housing Authorities strictly responsible for managing public housing portfolio of OHC Since its inception, NDHC has continued along same path Shareholder Declaration defines Business of NDHC as: Being local housing provider in accordance with Social Housing Reform Act Using effectively the assets of the Corporation and renting, selling or maintaining housing and its premises, equipment and appliances 18
2.NATURE OF BUSINESS ACTIVITIES Interviews with Board, staff and tenants found that NDHC is highly experienced and comfortable as property managers Buildings are well maintained, vacancies quickly filled, budgets met, future capital repair and replacement well planned, tenant requests quickly acted upon Yet, most expressed the view that this role falls short of contribution NDHC should be making to meeting the housing needs of the community in view of its skills, experience and resources 19
2.NATURE OF BUSINESS ACTIVITIES Particularly keen interest in NDHC expanding/regenerating its portfolio to help meet housing needs of Nipissing District Manitou Mulligan seen as a start Many see NDHC as vehicle with great potential for implementing key elements of DNSSAB's strategic plan in this regard Shareholder Declarations of numerous Service Managers support a role of this nature for LHC's. Many LHC's have been highly active in this regard, working hand- in-hand with Service Managers to plan and develop housing 20
2.NATURE OF BUSINESS ACTIVITIES Other LHC's also assisting Service Managers in delivering program-related services and in taking on revenue- generating activities for which they are qualified (as NDHC is already doing through property management contracts with outside Boards) By working hand-in-hand with DNSSAB to identify community needs and develop strategies for meeting these needs, NDHC can become a much more valuable vehicle for positive change in Nipissing District 21
2.NATURE OF BUSINESS ACTIVITIES Recommendation Three It is recommended that the nature of the Business in which NDHC is engaged be more broadly defined, as follows: Own, operate or have ownership interest in affordable rental housing, social housing, affordable ownership housing, vacant land and commercial properties ancillary to the foregoing and provide related services Develop new housing projects Redevelop existing housing projects 22
2.NATURE OF BUSINESS ACTIVITIES Deliver program-related services on behalf of Service Manager, such as Rent Supplement programs Deliver program-related services on behalf of other agencies, boards and commissions Enter into partnership agreements or other agreements that promote or increase availability of affordable housing in the service area Provide housing-related services to third parties 23
3. BOARD COMPOSITION AND QUALIFICATIONS Third key threshold issue is Board composition and qualifications Shareholder Declaration basically silent on this issue Background documentation indicates that Board to be comprised of maximum of 9 Directors, including 4 members of DNSSAB Board (a "fair distribution from North Bay, West Nipissing, Mattawa), 4 municipally-elected or citizen/consumer members, one member from one of remaining member municipalities within Service Area Can be termed a "geographical representation" model In practice, Board has tended to include primarily elected municipal officials, with small number of citizens at large 24
3. BOARD COMPOSITION AND QUALIFICATIONS Interviews with NDHC/DNSSAB Board members and senior staff found some preferred this model, as it ensures representation from all areas of Nipissing and gives Shareholder strong presence on Board to help protect its interests Majority, however, expressed the view that, given that this is a major business entity with asset replacement value of $100 million, it was critical to ensure necessary skills were present on Board to offer effective guidance and oversight and that a geographical model did not guarantee the presence of such skills 25
3. BOARD COMPOSITION AND QUALIFICATIONS A further concern was potential short-term nature of some elected officials, which can negatively impact continuity on Board Citizen members also felt they do not have equal access to information as elected officials on Board Concerns expressed that some elected officials "wore several hats" and may have conflicts in decision making from time-to-time 26
3. BOARD COMPOSITION AND QUALIFICATIONS Shareholder Declarations of numerous other Service Managers all addressed qualifications of Board members. Virtually all placed strong emphasis on skills, experience and qualifications as important criteria in composition of Board members All were combinations of elected officials and citizens at large, with most requiring few (or some even none) elected officials, as interests of Shareholder well protected by accountability and reporting protocols 27
3. BOARD COMPOSITION AND QUALIFICATIONS In view of above, it is concluded that the effectiveness of the Board would be enhanced by amending Shareholder Declaration to move towards a more "skills based" Board that places a greater emphasis on skills, experience and qualifications of Board members, given the size and complexity of the NDHC operation and its growing range of responsibilities The Tenant Advisory Committee provides an effective vehicle to represent tenant views, so it does not appear necessary to appoint a tenant representative to the Board 28
3. BOARD COMPOSITION AND QUALIFICATIONS Recommendation Four It is recommended that Article 4 of the Shareholder Declaration (and any related DNSSAB and NDHC regulatory documentation) be revised to require that the Board collectively possess a range of relevant expertise in such areas as: Social housing Community development Business and financial management Corporate governance Organizational development Labour relations 29
3. BOARD COMPOSITION AND QUALIFICATIONS Legal and/or legal aid experience Landlord and tenant matters Political experience Further, consideration should be given to reducing the number of elected officials on the NDHC Board – perhaps a maximum of three elected officials representing communities where the NDHC portfolio has a presence (one each from North Bay, West Nipissing and Mattawa). 30

You've got to fire them – now how do you go about it?
Sooner or later, most supervisors will have to fire somebody. You won't necessarily be the only one involved, but you may be the point person.
Here are five steps you can take to make the termination go off smoothly and with the least amount of pain:
1. Do it in private, and not alone
Except in a dire emergency, don't fire in public. Set up a meeting in a private setting – do so quickly if necessary – and make sure someone from HR, another supervisor or your own manager is there.
2. Tell the truth
Let the employee know clearly why he or she is being terminated. Evasions or circumlocutions could come back to haunt you if the employee takes legal action.
3. Allow for (some) venting
Most people being terminated will grow sad and/or angry. Respect and defuse their emotion by letting them talk, ask questions, and even challenge your decision – as long as you make clear that it isn't going to change.
4. Claim what's yours
Get the person to return all company property or tell you where it is.
5. Give departure choices
Now you need the person to leave the premises. But depending on circumstances, you might let them decide who will walk them out, and whether they'll take their belongings now or come back for them after hours – under supervision, of course.

I disagree with this totally on item #2. Most, if not all employees are at will. it is simply easier and less risk nto terminate simply by stating " this is an at will termination" Do not enter into any dialogue, or you may open up an opportunity for a law suit. Terminating for cause (unless documented theft or documented clear violation of policy) is exteremly risky and can cost your firm $10,000 njust to engage a lawyer after they file a lawsuit.

I've been going to the Tabernacle to see shows ever since they converted this space for the Olympics (it was a House of Blues back then). It's a great place to see a concert and boy is it LOUD! I know I'm getting older, but every time I go there I tell myself I need to bring earplugs next time. I love the SRO floor space. Just watch out for the barely marked "aisles" (rubber runners on the floor). Security tries to keep them open and to control crowds will often not let you back near the stage if you have to leave for a drink. The first balcony is great too - more mellow but close to the action. The upper balcony is not bad either but the sound isn't nearly as good and this seems to be the loudest part of the venue. Plus you really are way up high. Don't miss out on a chance to see a concert at this converted Baptist tabernacle in downtown and be sure to drop by Sidebar before or after - it's just a few blocks away.

I don't get the chance to go here often, but when I do I really enjoy myself. CineBistro is great. The food is just alright, the drinks are okay and the experience is even better. There's lots of space and room for legs to stretch out and the seats are relaxing. I do wish the movie selection was better. They also take a while to order you get ready to start the movie. Occasionally, they are still bringing in food as the movie begins and I'd rather have mine before it starts. Sometimes they just don't offer the films that I want to see. Additionally, the price point is a bit expensive in comparison to a regular movie visit so this place is only for date night or rare girls night. I'll go back but will definitely eat before hand and just have a drink.
I love Village Theater! It is one of the smaller and more intimate comedy theaters in Atlanta, but that's what makes it so great. Awesome comedians (there are a few regulars that are my favorites) and normally a great crowd. It's an improv theater, and they also teach improv classes that anyone can sign up for. You can purchase beer/wine and some snacks in the lobby before the show and at intermission - the alcohol is pretty cheaps, so load up! You can also purchase whole bottles and share with your group which is nice. Easy, free parking behind the theater as well!
Buckhead Backlot, now named Buckhead Fork and Screen, is a great theater to watch a movie. Not only do you get to sit in comfortable lounge chairs, but waiters bring you food, from hamburgers and alcohol to popcorn in a bowl. If you don't have time for dinner and a movie, you can do both at the same time here. And even if you aren't hungry, the comfortable lounge chairs make for a better experience than stiff standard movie theater seats where someone tall in front of you may block part of your view.
It's gotta be tough to run a movie theater in this economy. So I applaud Georgia Lafont for giving this venue a try after so many others have failed in this location. But if anyone remembers George's Garden Hills theater, they'll remember how dirty it was. Well he's Sandy Springs location is not far behind. Please George up your game! Clean the carpet, repaint, and how about putting tablecloth on the tables. I will say it's nice to be able to have wine served but do wish it was not so bloody expensive.
This place has really turned around! Yes, it used to be gross and have smelly carpet. But they have revamped it and expanded their menu/bar selection. It isn't getting a 5 star review because of the poor service the wait staff offers. It's a nice system (push a button and someone is paged to your table), but doesn't work in practice and I don't know why. I ended up waiting 20 minutes to order a hot chocolate mid movie. Get your drinks before hand!
You can't ask for a better place to catch a movie. Actually you could but they seemed to have thought of it already and now offers a VIP movie experience. Adults only with food and alcohol service. I can't wait to go back and take advantage of that. Overall the theater is clean, the staff friendly & nice and they will validate your parking ticket for you. It's a win win situation going to the movies here.
We went here for the Josh Groban concert. I love the fact that you can bring your own cooler and alcohol in. But make sure you check your tickets before you do, as some artists do not allow outside alcohol and coolers during their concerts. I highly recommend you Uber to this place, because parking is a nightmare. The seats are uncomfy, but other than that, it's a cool venue.
Yeah, this theater has waiters and serves popcorn in bowls and hamburgers and fries and all that good stuff. But the real reason to go here is the seating. Instead of small, cramped theater seats with tall people in front of you blocking your view, you get comfy lounge chairs. These seats swivel and move and are much more comfortable than normal seating.
Fun night. Guaranteed. We have been to 3 plays and all of them were awesome. The staff are great and welcoming. The actors are true talents. Great place for quality theatre at a more than reasonable price. Currently playing is The City of Conversation and trust me you will be having major conversations with people after this play.

Contrary to some media reports, Enyeama did not quit the Eagles camp in Belgium after his major fall-out with coach Sunday Oliseh on Tuesday night.
NFF president Amaju Pinnick had also reassured that Enyeama will train with the rest of the squad notwithstanding the row of the previous day.
Genk defender Ndidi, on the other hand, was a late call-up after six players from the domestic league were yet to be issued visas to Belgium.
Another late call-up Dele Alampasu was expected to hit the team's hotel later tonight.
Thursday's match against DR Congo will kick off at 7pm inside the VISE Stadium, and will be the first between both countries' senior teams in five-and-half-years.

Yao Shujie, the author of the research paper told China Daily in a telephonic interview, "Right now, we don't have figures for Japan's GDP in 2008, but I think China may have already overtaken Japan last year."
Shujie had predicted in 2007 that China would reach the second position in the world's economic pecking order in 2018.
Considering the World Bank and IMF's figures on China and Japan's 2007 GDP and output growth rate of 2008, Shujie estimated that China and Japan's GDP would reach 4.42 and 4.68 trillion dollars in 2008, respectively.
The research also shows US, Japan, Germany and the UK are not likely to recover to their 2007 output levels until 2011 or 2012, but China is expected to expand at seven to eight percent this year.

A deal is expected to be struck between the Lord Chancellor and the judiciary to resolve the crisis over the new Ministry of Justice before next week's showdown meeting before Parliament.
It is understood that the Lord Chancellor is determined to avoid the embarrassment of appearing before MPs with the Lord Chief Justice when both are at loggerheads over the new department.
The creation of the new ministry, which takes the Prison and Probation Services out of the Home Office and places them with the courts and legal aid, has triggered what some are calling a constitutional crisis.

Smells really bad
This came well packed with no apparent flaws. Except two things- it smells like the worst thing you have ever smelled and it sheds a lot. I used a lot of Febreeze on it to get rid of the smell- but I am not comfortable sitting or lying down on it because I am not sure where it has been to gather such a strong bad smell. This is my second item from Overstock- and both items smelled so bad. I am not sure where these products are stored- but that warehouse needs some febreeze!
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Looks the same
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Quality is good
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Very accurate

And He Won't Be Back
The celebrity governor terminates the financial lives of future Californians
A lot of people in California get all gaga about their latest actor-governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, on whose coattails George W. Bush hopes to ride this November. But Schwarzenegger's "I'll be back" is likely to be recalled only with bitter humor 50 years from now.
Being a celebrity, he wants to be adored by regular citizens. And being a Republican, he wants to be adored by corporate citizens. Being the chief executive of the nation's largest state, he's trying to keep them all happythe ones who are currently living, that is. Nothing but a bulgin' waffler, he took the easy way out and refused to raise taxes to help solve a huge budget deficit. Even Virginia is raising cigarette taxesby 10 times, notes the Los Angeles Times.
Reporter Evan Halper will look like the good guy to mid-21st-century Californians for predicting the dire financial straits they're likely to be in. Halper pointed out earlier this week that New Jersey is even forcing some of its millionaires "to share more of their wealth" with that state.

"Virtually every state facing a major budget shortfall this year," he writes, "has made painful policy choices. Except California."
And what's California doing? It's borrowing money like no other state, pushing the mounting debt into the far future. In other words, California's leaders are eating their young. They're essentially putting nearly $16 billion on plasticjust for the coming year.
The Times quotes one economist as saying, "Other states are going to be laughing at us for the way we have handled things."
In New York, Halper notes, Republicans even defied Governor George Pataki to help override his veto of $2.5 billion in taxes.
Of course, the federal government is in large part responsible for this, having passed the burden for so many programs to the states. After all, we have to build a better Iraq.
So, in 50 years, George W. Bush will probably be serving the last stretch of his National Guard duty, but Ah-nold definitely won't be back anywhere you can find him. Meanwhile, the kids and grandkids of you current Californians will be backagainst the wall.

Skin care for preterm and term neonates
Conflict of interest: none declared.
Dr F. Sule Afsar, 2040 Sok. Kugu 122 D:50, 35540 Mavisehir Karsiyaka, Izmir, Turkey
E-mail: email@example.com
Neonatal skin experiences a progressive adaptation to the extrauterine environment during which special care is needed. The immaturity of the epidermal barrier in the neonatal period may cause dry skin, vulnerability to trauma, rapid onset of microbial colonization and percutaneous drug toxicity. This article reviews the practical implications for hygiene, bathing practices, skin integrity, emollient use, infection control and exposure to percutaneous toxic agents in preterm and term infants.

Title: Like Soldiers Do
Author: nostalgia
Rating Advice/Warnings: Slight swearing and some realatively mild homophobic language. Because it's the 'fifties.
Disclaimer: Property is theft.
Summary: Hawkeye has a clear way out, so why did he never take it?
Notes: Lyssie and Kim did beta-duty.
Getting to Seoul wasn't that difficult, once I'd convinced Radar that it was too personal an issue to discuss at the camp. He in turn then convinced Henry, whose administrative failings will remain forever dear to my heart. Then you just have to act like you have an appointment, and they'll give you one just to make you go away. I sped this process up by affecting a nervous tic and occasionally yelling about the apocalypse.
So, I managed to get a General. Only one star, but who's counting? He could probably buy another one in Tokyo, anyway. You have to go straight to the top with these things, especially in the army where they organise the line for the latrines based on who has the most metal on their uniform.
Generals do have the disadvantage of being so fond of the military life that they'll do everything they can to share their happy experience of fear, violence and death. They want to make a man out of you, because Mother Nature's own methods aren't emotionally scarring enough to be convincing.
With this in mind, I tried to look earnest. I think I managed it. I said, "General, sir, I have to leave the army."
Of course, this was a line he'd heard a lot, probably from people far more earnest than I was pretending to be.
So he glared at me, chewed his cigar and barked, "Why?" Actually barked. That's why there's so much rabies in the military.
"Because, sir, I have come to realise that I am -" pause for effect - "A homosexual."
"And what made you realise this, Captain?"
"I realised I was having sex with other men. Well, that was the first clue, anyway."
"I see." He stopped chewing the cigar at that point. Maybe he was worried I'd be aroused by the obvious phallic symbolism and ravish him there and then. I took this as a positive sign.
"So, you've been involved in homeosexual acts with other homeosexuals?"
"Yes, sir."
"Why didn't you mention this earlier?"
"I wanted the uniform. And war is so romantic. I thought I'd meet a nice man to marry and have children with. But I realised I don't have a womb. With my dreams in tatters around my homosexual feet, I realised I could no longer live this lie and risk bringing shame upon the otherwise spotless reputation of the United States Army."
See? I was really throwing myself into the role. I could have been a star, or a moon at least.
Unfortunately, I had underestimated the military willingness to accomodate misplaced civilians like myself.
"You shouldn't be too hard on yourself, Pierce. War does strange things to a man. Especially to draftees. Don't you have nurses at the 4077th?"
"Only female ones, sir. Even the more hirsute ones are women, with breasts and other things men lack."
"What I mean is, why don't you try being normal? With a nurse. That's what they're for, after all."
"I've tried, but I don't think I harrass them enough to be allowed to stay in the army."
"Well, son, if it'll make you feel any better I can guarantee we'll kick you out when the war's over."
"But I don't want to be kicked out when it's over. I want to get thrown out before the war's over, in case I get killed and can't make it to the court martial." I felt I was appealing to military intelligence, that most timid and least-spotted of beasts.
I don't think he found me appealing. He said, "This is war, boy!" And slapped the desk, which I can only assume was for emphasis. "In war we need all the men we can get, be they normal family men or deviant homeosexuals like yourself. In peacetime I'd be only too happy to be rid of you. Dishonourable discharge, the full WHAMMY."
He really did say it in capital letters.
"We doctors are very careful about our discharges. And Colonel Blake gives us a lecture every month to make sure."
That just got me a scowl. Insubordination doesn't get you thrown out. Believe me, I've tried.
"Besides, What about your family? How do you think they would cope with the shame of having a pervert for a son?"
"I happen to come from a long and proud line of perverts, sir. When the Mayflower docked there were Pierces in the hold worrying the sheep. My forefathers fought perversely against the British, and also for the British, depending on popular opinion at the time. And I could always lie about it. I could practice on the plane home."
"We need surgeons, son, however deviant they may be."
Damn. "But I operate in barely sterile conditions. What if my patients become homosexual? It's infectious, you know. I could be infecting you right now. My God, can you imagine what would happen if all the soldiers out there stopped killing each other and started making love instead? Civilisation would collapse! I can't be held responsible for something like that."
"Then you'll just have to wear gloves when you operate. No reason to have to cause trouble if there's no need."
My God, no wonder these people won't give a Section 8 to a guy in a dress. Maybe I should just try acting crazy until they promote me away from the front line.
"But what about the soldiers? How would they cope knowing they'd had perverted homosexual hands inside them, had deviant fingers sewing their vital organs back in? What about the morale?"
That was a masterstroke, I felt. The army love morale. When they aim at you with your own artillery, that's to get the morale down so they can get it back up again.
"Hmm... you think that would be a problem?"
"Oh, yes." I could hear victory serenading me, beckoning me to it with promises of martini and silent nights. "They crawl through mud, get shot at by Communists, have their intestines torn out, and then all the morale from that is lost because they were saved from death by a homosexual. They'd never get over it."
"So don't tell them."
"They'll know."
"How? Aren't they unconscious when you operate on them?"
"Mostly. If we hit them hard enough."
"Well, there you go. They don't need to know about your perversions."
Oh, victory, why must you lead me on then leave me wanting? You whoring temptress.
"I can't believe you'd turn a blind eye to a dangerous deviance like this! Don't you care about all those young men you send out to die for no good reason?"
"Of course we do, son. That's why in normal circumstances we'd get rid of you. Fortunately, in time of war it's possible to show abnormal and sometimes abhorrant kindnesses, such as allowing you to stay with us as we destroy the Red Menace once and for all."
"I'm sure Stalin is trembling already."
"Damn right he is!" Another thump for that poor abused desk. "And with any luck, you can become a real man as you experience the full beauty of war. So many children are born after wars because the men go home feeling like real men, who sow their seed with manly fervour. You just get yourself one of those nurses and spend some time thinking about all the bombs raining down on you. You'll be normal in no time!"
I had to admit defeat. The army was prepared to take anyone, no matter how insane, no matter how perverted. If I amputated my own legs they'd probably get me a corporal to carry me everywhere.
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so I did both.
Even that didn't get me kicked out.

Relaxing the Ban: It's Time to Allow General Solicitation and Advertising in Exempt Offerings
William K. Sjostrom Jr.
University of Arizona - James E. Rogers College of Law
Florida State University Law Review, Vol. 32, No. 1, 2004
The article explores the ban on general solicitation and advertising in private placements of securities. The article finds that the ban negatively impacts the ability of emerging companies to raise critical start-up and early-stage private equity capital. The article asserts that the ban is not the result of strong ideology but from the statutory distinction between public offerings and private or limited offerings entrenched by overlapping federal and state securities regulations. In light of this finding and the importance of emerging companies to the U.S. economy, the article argues that the ban should be relaxed.
Finally, the article suggests specific regulatory reforms.
