Reviewed by Lindsay from Chicago on Friday, May 1, 2015I wear these almost every day around the house and they seem to be holding up well after a few months. I'm 5'4" with normal-ish proportions, 108 lb, and the XS fits well; the hem touches the floor when I'm not wearing shoes.
Verified Buyer Reviewed by Kate from OREGON on Friday, April 3, 2015These pants are an awesome fit and quality. Now that my name brand pants have been discontinued, I am pleased to find an alternative that is equal in quality, comfort and fit. What I also like is that I can go from work to the gym and never have to change pants. They look professional and go with any top,- jacket or tank top. The fabric not only is flexible for all types of exercises, it is super soft. Wish I had purchased another pair. Great pants!

ABC has been pushing for more streaming rights for its series, and this fall, it's offering authenticated viewers all in-season episodes of all of its new series across its digital on-demand platforms, including ABC.com and the ABC app.
The app is available across iOS, Android, Amazon Fire, Roku, Apple TV platforms. Full seasons from most series also are available on Hulu and on select pay-TV platforms, including Xfinity and DirecTV.
Viewers that want to watch these series on-demand need to sign in via their pay-TV provider to prove they are paying for a subscription, and then log on to the app to watch.
Series that are offering all episodes from this season include American Housewife, Conviction, Dancing With the Stars, Designated Survivor, Notorious, Quantico, The Real O'Neals, Secrets and Lies and Speechless, as well as mid-season entries American Crime, The Bachelor, The Big Fan, Downward Dog, Imaginary Mary, Time After Time and limited event series When We Rise.
"More viewers are watching shows on their own terms, and we want to continue pursuing ways to better meet their expectations. Whether they fall behind on their favorite show or are late in discovering one that is new to them, we want fans to easily find and connect with our content," said Channing Dungey, president, ABC Entertainment, in a statement.
Having full seasons of shows available on-demand across digital platforms is a matter of acquiring streaming rights. Ever since this method of distribution became available, subscription video on demand (SVOD) platforms — and most notably Netflix — have warned studios that if they allowed networks to stream full seasons of shows, streaming services would pay less for them. As a result, studios were hesitant to give networks buying first-run rights to shows full streaming rights. That's why only the five most recent episodes of many shows are available over streaming platforms.
Last summer, however, ABC and Warner Bros. cut a first-of-its-kind deal that gave ABC full-season streaming rights to any shows ABC might buy from Warner Bros. This season, the only new series ABC bought from Warner Bros. was Time After Time, but the studio also produces veteran reality program The Bachelor, and the full season of that show is being made available to viewers.
In general, SVOD services have been moving away from acquired content and toward original series so that may be allowing studios to be more flexible with their first-run network buyers.
ABC Studios is at least a production participant in most of ABC's new shows, including American Housewife, Conviction, Designated Survivor, Downward Dog, Imaginary Mary, Notorious, Speechless, Quantico, The Real O'Neals and Secrets and Lies.
Several of ABC's popular veterans series, including all of the Shondaland shows Grey's Anatomy, How to Get Away With Murder and Scandal, as well as Marvel's Agents of SHIELD, and Modern Family—are being streamed on ABC's digital platforms according to the old rules, with the five most recent episodes available to authenticated viewers.
Over the summer, ABC redesigned its app's user interface and made 38 "throwback" series available to viewers, including Ellen, Felicity, Sports Night and Ugly Betty.

Use the centre section as either a fifth seat, a centre armrest with built-in cup holders or folded flat so you can transport long items. When folded flat the seating is flush with the luggage space floor. In another first for this segment, our innovative Karakuri tonneau cover lifts and lowers with the tailgate for easy and convenient loading.

- - Testing AGM Battery capacity? (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/gear-maintenance/46523-testing-agm-battery-capacity.html)
Testing AGM Battery capacity?
With the help of a good electrician it appears I've finally worked out the bugs on the PO's battery upgrade on SOLARE. (4 group 27 = 440 amp hours)
He and the Link 20 manual say to do a battery condition test, to run 5% or your capacity until you get a 10.5 voltage reading. Then you can determine what your real available capacity is.
But, somewhere I recall reading that AGM's don't like to be fully discharged, and by doing so I'm shorting both the life and capacity.
Is this a good thing to do, or is there a safer way to determine actual capacity?
If you are unsure how to accomplish this properly, it may be best to simply input the stated battery capacity of your bank as a good approximation.
Out of curiosity, how do you get 440 amps out of four Gr27 batteries? Do you really have them all paralleled?
k1vsk...that's a fairly normal house bank with all parallelled. Mine is 1000+ with 4x8d's.
group 27's are generally around 90-100ah's each and 110 is actually quite high. I would simply use 90-100 ah's as my amount per battery IF they are new. It doesn't hurt to err a bit on the low side as extended battery life will be the result of charging before you reach 50% discharge.
SOLARE...you are correct...do NOT do what Xantrex suggests. If you are not content with estimates then you can do the following.
1. EQ the batteries.
2. Fully charge the batteries.
3. You have approximately 400ah capacity at the 20 hour rate which means that at a 20 amp load you should get 20 hours before you reach 10.5 volts. 4. Get a 20 amp test load and run the batteries down to 12.2V. (50%). They SHOULD last 10 hours before reaching 12.2V. If they only last 8 hours...you have 80% of rated capacity...5 hours is 50% etc.
5. Again...if the batteries are new...no need to go through this.
Cheap test load: Automobile headlights, or similar 12-volt lamps or heaters that are rated as high as you can get them.
Batteries are nominally rated at a 20-hour discharge rate, so if they are rated 105AH each, that's based on 20 hours at a 5-amp load. (Ratings for higher and lower rates are usually also available from the maker.) One automotive high beam lamp (~65 watt rated) is a conveniently close load for one battery at a 20-hour rate.
And I'd agree with Cam--cycling them down to the 50% point should be enough.
These batteries were installed by the PO age unknown, and the fact the boat was keep on a mooring, I had no clue of their condition.
Good news is, I ran a 20+/-amp load on the bank and got it down to 12.2V at 12 hours, in addition the Link told me that I had consumed 215 amps.
So it looks like these batteries will be around for a bit longer! :)

@skinewmexicoLocale: Southwest
Anybody seen or tested one of these yet? I've been thinking about one of the Granite Gear Nimbus models, but this seems lighter and cheaper. Thoughts?Jan 11, 2007 at 3:01 pm #1373976

@bearpawLocale: Southeast
I have not seen the Cruise yet, but I HAVE seen the new Flash UL stuff sack/day pack, so I wanted to share some interesting news about it.
The folks in REI gear development have managed some sort of awesome voodoo magic with the new UL line, because the packs are going to be made out of the substantial tougher fabric like that of the new Flash UL. This stuff feels thicker and tougher than any of the UL packs I've tried, including Granite Gear, Gossamer Gear, the older REI UL packs. But somehow, the weight is the same. My older Flash weighs 9 1/2 ounces. The new ones weigh out at 9 1/4. I'm still trying to figure out how they managed it. It appears they removed one extra panel on the inside that was designed for the ten essentials, but otherwise it is the same. And still at the $25 price.
The Cruise is a tougher modification of the UL 60, and the new fabric will make this a MUCH tougher pack, so that a general backpacking audience can enjoy lighter weight without the normal delicacy associated with lightweight gear. The Cruise only lists at about 3 ounces heavier than the original UL 60.
I would wait until they hit REI shelves and try them instore before I ordered a nimbus. If the suspension is exactly the same as the UL 60, you'll find the nimbus somewhat more comfortable, but very possibly not $100 more comfortable. Just a thought.Jan 11, 2007 at 3:11 pm #1373978
Chris FothergillBPL Member
I own the UL 60 which the Cruise has replaced. The pack was able to carry 40 lbs very well for my 2 week long trips. The fabric could be tougher which was improved. The mesh pockets do have holes from a Grand Canyon Royal Arch trip and felt the mesh should of held up better but that sandstone can be tough on fabric. I do not know if they improve the mesh pockets. I also own a GG Nimbus Ozone but the REI 60 ul fits me better and I have been happy with the pack. For my fit the top weight for the Nimbus was a tad under 35 lbs but it is a more durable pack
I suggest try both of them on if you can and see which pack fits better.

I'll try to find some place and try them on, although I'm a long way from a decent gear store. And a $100 bucks is a pretty serious deal to me. REI does list these for sale now on their web site, but I didn't order one to see if they actually ship.Jan 12, 2007 at 9:00 pm #1374186

Don't have a Cruise, but I have last years UL 60 in a large (actually measures 65 in that size). I have been very pleased with the fit, comfort, and utility. The cinch cord works very well for collapsing the volume. Tougher fabric would be all the better, although I can't say as I've had any problems yet. I do find myself treating it pretty delicately, but I try to do that with all my gear.

This entrepreneurial Katten got the cream.
IF you want proof that you can still look the cat's whiskers at 42 then look no further than Penelope Cruz, Christian Bale, Leonardo Di Caprio or Katten Muchin Rosenman. It's not expensive dentistry or lucky genes that got the last of these looking so alluring but a healthy bottom line and careful growth: revenue was up 6.2% in 2014 and 4.5% in 2015. So what's behind this steady expansion? Chairman Vince Sergi replies: "Corporate deals and private equity were up significantly and our particular expertise in environmental and workplace safety was booming last year. Our structured finance and securitization group has had a phenomenal year," says Sergi. "We're doing very well; we're growing carefully and deliberately and we're very excited about it."
The Chicago-born firm built its name servicing growing, entrepreneurial clients, but as the (relatively young) law firm matured, an increasing number of larger, institutional clients joined the books. We've wondered in the past whether the firm's shift toward larger clients will dampen some of its famed entrepreneurial spirit; a few associates we spoke to are pondering too: "Katten seemed like a more nimble firm when I applied. Now I don't know what will happen with these feathers in the institutional basket." However, Vince Sergi assures us: "We're still very entrepreneurial. Any juniors who join us are not going to be on a low track, they will be on whatever track they can handle." This, at least, still rings true for associates: "I interpret our entrepreneurial spirit as 'if you have an idea, go for it, and we'll support you'," one told us.
The Work
Litigation takes in the largest proportion of Katten's 30-odd new first-years, followed by real estate and corporate. The remaining quarter are littered through areas like insolvency, financial services, commercial finance, trusts & estates, and environmental.
The size of each department (and office) typically determines work allocation. Larger groups, like Chicago's litigation, real estate or corporate practices, tend to have an assigning attorney: "For the first couple of years it gets you through the system," but juniors felt the best work to be had was found by "expressing an interest to partners who will think of you when a project comes up." Another added: "I found only the worst work goes through the system; if there is any interesting work, partners approach associates directly." Without an assigning attorney acting as a back stop in smaller groups, the onus is very much on being "entrepreneurial" with the spoils often going to "those whose hunt things down."
"Hunt things down."
Bankruptcy, healthcare, white-collar, consumer disputes, class actions and general commercial litigation are just some of the areas junior litigators can get their paws into. Interviewees were generally pleased with their responsibility, with one clarifying: "I've slowly been getting more and more. It evens out to an appropriate third-year level. There are still times when I'm doing basic first-year stuff but I've had opportunities to do more senior tasks. It's a function of being a midlevel law firm; the distribution of work is not as regimented as it might be elsewhere. We fill in and do what's necessary on a case." This can range from doc review – "I'm definitely still at that stage for general projects," one third-year told us – to writing substantive briefs or drafting mediation statements.
Real estate rookies also start off as generalists, touching on "joint ventures, financing, straight acquisitions. We do a bit of everything for the first few years. After that there is no formal specialization but people might veer toward one area." Katten's juniors take the lead on smaller sales and acquisitions but slip further down the responsibility ladder for larger transactions: "On financing, for instance, I work with the partner, draft the first take of loan documents, push the transaction forward but don't negotiate anything."
Training & Development
"Not a lot of formal training."
Formal training sessions are department-specific, resulting in mixed opinions from our interviewees. A corporate source revealed: "There are lunchtime trainings or presentations. We've not had those in a while and they aren't tremendously useful. It's an area we could definitely improve." Real estate fared slightly better. Although we heard "there is not a lot of formal training" here, associates can clock up monthly CLE sessions and those in Chicago "typically attend the practice area orientation for first-years to refresh everything."
Litigators were the happiest with their lot, citing "ongoing sessions which are specific to the type of work we're doing during the first three years." Tasks such as brief writing, answering depositions or responding to subpoenas are all covered. All junior litigators convene in Chicago every other year for deposition training and every year for a mock trial.
Hours & Compensation
Putting in ten to twelve-hour shifts a day was the norm among most of our interviewees. "Katten talks about being a lifestyle firm but I don't think it's like that," one source reflected. "The reality is BigLaw always requires extensive hours and it can be difficult."
"Anyone working at a big firm has to juggle."
Generally, sources accepted this lifestyle as "something anyone working at a big firm has to juggle. Katten is definitely a place which emphasizes being able to work at home. No one has an issue if you're not here at night." Or sometimes the afternoon: "If there is nothing on I have no problem leaving at 3pm," but before you start dreaming of regular early exits take note that this same source had notched up numerous 10pm finishes.
Katten doesn't stipulate a billable requirement but 2,000 hours earns rookies a class level bonus (1,950 in Charlotte), although they need to bill more to get a market-level bonus or more. "It's definitely achievable," sources agreed. "But many people feel it's not exactly competitive with the market." Hitting 2,100 gets you market rate, and bonus amounts increase every 100 hours beyond that. "There is a large swing between the class and market bonus," but a smaller step up for every increase beyond the 2,100 to emphasize that "we're not driving for those crazy hours of 2,300."
Chicago rookies detected a "genuine Midwestern niceness" among their colleagues, with one telling us: "People genuinely enjoy being around each other." Juniors had no concerns about approaching partners for advice or taking time to shoot the breeze. "I don't feel uncomfortable laughing in the hallway; what brought me here was the feeling I wouldn't need to censor myself."
"It's not a small dog either, it's a German Shepherd!"
The DC office "struck me as very friendly," offered one out-of-towner, with a DC native confirming: "It's very communal and relaxed. We wear jeans on a Friday and a partner sometimes brings their dog into the office. It's not a small dog either, it's a German Shepherd!" A similar atmosphere permeates LA. "I've heard this office is much more laid back than the Chicago HQ; the dress code and personal interactions are a bit more relaxed." Non-New Yorkers suggested the firm's second largest office, in NYC, swung the other way: "Maybe it's just my Midwestern bias. The people are nice but something feels different; New York is more fast-paced than Chicago." A Big Apple junior maintained that although "people here understand the work needs to get done and we're going to do whatever it takes to do that, I don't see a lot of the unrealistic expectations or silly timing issues I see with peers at other firms."
And what about juniors' thoughts on the firm's famed buzzword, 'entrepreneurial'? "I think it's true. Everyone is encouraged and urged to find their own work and develop their own clients." Others reckoned the reputation had attracted "a certain type of person looking to work hard and get ahead." But that drive doesn't come at the expense of their colleagues. Although the firm is "scrappy because people fight for what they want, it's not ultra competitive. Fellow associates will help you if you have a problem."
Anyone for ping pong?
The Chicago HQ was recently revamped to make it "more modern; it's not a dramatic update." Plans for glass office walls were nixed by associates, but the "browny-green" color scheme has been replaced by a "lighter, cleaner, greyish look." The "word on the street" is that an associates' lounge may be on the cards, so now's the time for people to put in their request for that ping pong or fussball table.
Katten's Chicago office is full-service (just like its cousins in Century City, New York and Washington, DC) but several of the firm's smaller bases have more of a specific bent: Austin serves clients in the energy and chemical sectors. Fellow Texas base Houston tackles environmental compliance and workplace safety matters. Environmental clients can also be found in abundance in San Francisco while Charlotte, which overlooks the Carolina Panthers stadium, focuses heavily on real estate and litigation.
Strategy & Future
The East Coast is where the action's currently at. "We've added some new people in Washington, DC and are on the verge of adding more; I think that office is really poised for some very good growth," chairman Vince Sergi tells us. "We're also really targeting New York for this fiscal year for more lateral growth and more bottom-up growth from law schools. We need more help as our New York business expands and we're very excited about that." Read our Bonus Features for more from Sergi on Katten's future plans.

Juniors had worked on a variety of pro bono matters from aiding domestic violence victims to assisting on asylum applications or helping "low-income youth who end up in court on truancy charges; we provide representation otherwise they'd be in a courtroom by themselves not knowing what's going on."
Once a month, Chicago attorneys hold a legal clinic "which meets at a school. Parents and locals can come and run their legal problems past us, and we'll give them an assessment of whether we can help." And while not strictly legal work, attorneys can also bill pro bono hours for teaching lessons on law and the Constitution to students of the same school. A hundred pro bono hours are automatically credited as billable. "After that you have to request permission for more, but from what I've heard it is pretty much always approved."
Pro bono hours
Sources believed that like most of BigLaw Katten "doesn't feel that diverse. I think they could be better at retaining women and recruiting and retaining minority attorneys." One interviewee added: "I've heard from women in litigation that it's hard for them not to have as many equity partners to look up to as role models." Things might be about to start changing, though, as we heard the Women's Leadership Forum (WLF) has been "relaunched with a new emphasis on attracting and retaining women."
"New emphasis on attracting and retaining women."
An LGBT coalition, a Minority Associates Committee and a Committee on Racial and Ethnic Diversity are also active at Katten, but does their reach extend beyond the firm's headquarters? "The WLF is pretty big in New York and holds regular meetings," but as other affinity groups "are generally run out of Chicago, New York associates don't participate so much." Elsewhere, juniors were aware that affinity groups existed at the firm but not always entirely sure "what they do."

Get Hired
Time and again when we asked about interview tips, juniors told us "the firm really likes personality." Any kind in particular? "An interesting personality." Suffice to say, recruiters will probably "ask a lot about your interests outside of work and see if people are willing to engage on a variety of topics," so ensure you demonstrate that your life doesn't completely revolve around the law.
"Collaborative successes the student has had."
National hiring partner Howard Rubin offers a bit more detail: "We don't practice law individually so our interviews are trying to capture who is going to be a great teammate. We want to gain an insight into collaborative successes the student has had, either in prior work experience or in the law school setting. We're trying to gauge whether the student is someone who anticipates issues and has a confidence which will help them thrive in such an entrepreneurial environment."
Chairman Vince Sergi chats to us about Katten's past year and its future plans
Chambers Associate: Katten's trying to increase the number of larger clients it services, how is that going?
Vince Sergi: It's going very well. We've had really good success since we put together our strategic plan about a year ago. We're focused on growing our core practice area and trying to grow our largest clients. We want to make $1 million clients into $2 million clients, and our $3 million clients into $5 million clients. We've increased the number of our $5 million clients by focusing on our existing clients and building client teams that continue to offer exemplary client service with great technical expertise. We've seen some success in focusing on other business units within our larger clients so we can conduct more business with them but we're also seeking out new clients too.
In 2015 we increased our revenue by 4.5% to $561.6 million, our profits per equity partner were up by 7.9% to $1.5 million and our revenues per lawyer from $850,000 to $900,000. We're doing very well; we're growing carefully and deliberately and we're very exited about it.
CA: Associates felt there was an increasing emphasis on cross selling the firm's practices this year. Is that the case?
VS: Yes, we've really moved into trying to grow our existing clients by cross serving our practices. In building our client teams we are moving away from any siloed effect and building multi practice teams; we're seeing a lot more collaboration among our partners and lawyers. This was one of the goals on our strategic growth plan.
CA: What have been the hottest practice areas this year?
VS: Commercial finance has been very busy. Corporate deals and private equity were up significantly and our particular expertise in environmental and workplace safety was booming last year. If there is an accident at an oil refinery or chemical plant, all types of state and federal regulatory agencies fall on the company and conduct investigations. We've been hired on a number of these types of matters for major oil and chemical companies.
Our structured finance and securitization group has had a phenomenal year. Our securitization transaction in China for Ford Automotive Finance was recognized as deal of the year by the China Business Law Journal.
Some firms have been saying that litigation was down last year but it wasn't for us; it's not up tremendously but financial services litigation was very busy. I would guess there has been more growth on the transactional side than litigation.
CA: You mentioned last year that you'd like to see yout Austin, Houston, California and Washington, DC offices grow in 2015, has that happened?
VS: We added two new partners to the Houston office – Gregory Dillard in workplace safety and Daniella Landers into our environment practice – so in Houston we've definitely seen some good growth. In Southern California we've welcomed a few extra folks. We've added some new people in Washington, DC and are on the verge of adding more; I think that office is really poised for some very good growth.
We're also really targeting New York for this fiscal year for more lateral growth and more bottom up growth from law schools. We need more help as our New York business expands and we're very excited about that.
CA: Tell us about diversity at the firm.
VS: We were recognised again this year by Working Mother magazine as one of the '50 Best Law Firms for Women' and one of the '2015 Working Mother Best 100 Companies'.
We've recently added two more women to our compensation committee. The compensation process and compensation decisions are critical at any firm and a good twenty five to thirty percent of our committee is female. It's really important to the firm; we're dedicated to diversity.
One of the things we're introducing is a sponsorship program instead of traditional mentorship activities. Our sponsorship program is more intense and allows our associates to spend a lot of time with their sponsors, receive help to get to the next level, learn about their clients and meet their contacts. We think that's really helpful for someone's career. We started this with our minority lawyers, now we're rolling it out to all of our women and we'll eventually roll it out to all associates.
CA: Any advice or words of wisdom for law students as they try to enter the legal profession?
VS: I think it's important to be all in and show you're really dedicated to learning your craft and are interested in serving clients. Becoming a good listener is very important. You need to learn to listen to clients' concerns and needs rather than walking in and saying how great we are and what we can offer them.
It's still a good time to be in this profession; another area the firm is interested in growing is cyber security. I think that's a way to get younger people involved in the legal profession. Instead of getting an MBA and a degree in computer science and moving to Palo Alto you can combine law with very interesting technological changes in our world.
We speak with Katten's new national hiring partner Howard Rubin
Chambers Associate: Which of your offices do you hire entry level associates into?
Howard Rubin: We run summer programs in our Chicago, New York, Los Angeles and Charlotte offices. We also have Leadership Council on Legal Diversity [LCLD] for 1Ls in those bases as well as in our Washington, DC office which is focused on providing a rich law firm experience to students but is not connected to permanent hiring.
CA: Who conducts your OCI and callback interviews?
HR: In most instances our partners will attend OCIs. In our largest office Chicago, around 35% of interviewees are invited to call backs and in smaller offices it's closer to 25%. At callbacks students will meet with both partners and associates.
CA: What kind of questions do you ask at callbacks?
HR: You have to understand what's at the core of Katten; we are a firm that's built on entrepreneurial spirit and a commitment to being true business counsellors to our clients. That means interviews are not aimed at merely assessing a candidate's academic strength; questions such as 'tell me about the note you're working on for a law journal' or 'what is your most interesting class' candidly tell us little about a candidate's commitment to client service, their level of creativity, their entrepreneurial spirit or their collaborative intelligence.
We don't practice law individually so our interviews are trying to capture who is going to be a great team mate. We want to gain an insight into collaborative successes the student has had, either in prior work experience or in the law school setting. We're trying to gage whether the student is someone who anticipates issues and has a confidence which will help them thrive in such an entrepreneurial environment.
CA: What makes someone stand out at interview?
HR: Someone who brings an energy and enthusiasm to their work, both through prior work experience and their work in the law school community is someone who excites us. Work in the law school community doesn't just mean the work sitting at a desk. Someone who has demonstrated leadership skills and talks about how they have made a team better is someone who excites us and stands out at interview.
CA: Outline your summer program for us.
MR: I'm passionate about our summer program. We treat our summer associates as associates during their time with us and that means they are getting real work on real client projects. It also means that they are working directly with partners and associates at every level of experience. We pride ourselves on staffing our matters across practice groups, leanly, and that is very exciting for our summer associates – and most junior associates – because the contributions they're making are real contributions that will matter.
Another one of the things which is fairly unique about our program is that we have a very meaningful midsummer review. We don't wait until the back end of summer to let our summer students know how they've been performing. We want to know what they're looking to get out of the experience all the way along. The mid summer review is a really important part of establishing that.
CA: How can someone stand out on your summer program?
HR: We're always looking for the highest quality work product and attention to detail – that is a given – for our program. But every bit as much as that, we place a premium on identifying summer associates who are going to get along with their team mates, not just with the partners and associates they're working for. Much like our assessment of our full time associates, we are looking for summer associates who anticipate needs and take a proactive approach to the projects on which they're working.
CA: Is there anything else you'd like to add about the firm or the recruiting process?
HR: I was a summer associate twenty five years ago and, while it was a long time ago, I can still remember what it was like to be part of a team and treated as a colleague doing meaningful work for clients. I cannot imagine a better place to be a summer associate than Katten, truly because we take law students and we make them our team mates. We show them not what a summer associate experience is like but what an associate experience is like. On top of everything it's a great place to work with super people. I come back to the importance of our looking for smart, engaging, collaborative team mates. That's what our program is about.

An Ontario review has cleared a Winnipeg police officer who shot and killed an aboriginal youth who refused to drop a screwdriver.
The report into the Jan. 31, 2005 fatal shooting of Matthew Dumas has recommended no charges be laid against the police officer involved.
The review by an Ontario Crown attorney was sent to Manitoba Justice officials earlier in the week.

Sofia's World
We are an e-commerce site where teachers can sell life long learning courses to women between the ages of 25 to 62. We are focusing on being a site which is fun to use and where women can feel comfortable asking questions, finding friends to take classes with and share their opinions.
I want the women who comes to my site to identify with the logo and to think of herself as Sofia which is Wisdom. Either she is gaining wisdom or she is sharing it. The image uploaded is something my partner created. I don't like the S, i would want it to be more like an infinity loop because learning never ends.

Maria McCann made her name with two impressive novels about the 17th century: the gritty, urgent As Meat Loves Salt, set during the English civil war, and The Wilding, longlisted for the 2010 Orange prize. Now she moves into the 18th century with an investigation into the artifice and dangers of Georgian London, in which two women from different social levels find themselves in thrall to the same man.
Edmund Zedland, AKA Ned Hartry, AKA the Corinthian, is a card sharp, a charmer and a very bad sort. To Sophia, his new wife – a sheltered young woman with a "modest fortune" and a certain intimate "weakness" – he seems an alluring, if slightly terrifying, catch. Betsy-Ann, living on her wits in the fleshpots of Covent Garden, has known him as a different person entirely. Both women must find inner reserves of pragmatism, according to their class: Sophia may find herself "snared like poor Clarissa Harlowe", but her parents make it clear by return of post that separation is unthinkable. "The surest policy for a deceived wife," as her mother puts it, "is to please." Poverty and prostitution have never allowed Betsy-Ann any illusions about her status in life. She is living under the protection of a "resurrectionist", whose grave-robbing brings the stench of death into their rented rooms. The story that unfolds is highly coloured but lightly executed, and reads as though it were an enormous pleasure to write.
McCann has chosen a fitting subject for a Georgian backdrop: the age was rich in fakes and imposters, deception and display. The novel opens with a discussion of the fashion for copying in statuary – a commodification of art lapped up by the middle classes. ("I find such fakery dishonest," remarks Sophia, to a raised eyebrow from her husband-to-be.) Later, Sophia receives as a present the Memoirs of George Psalmanazar, who masqueraded as an exotic traveller from the other side of the world. The entertainments at Bath, where Sophia first begins to suspect her husband, are presided over by Samuel Derrick, believed to have led a double life as the editor of Harris's List, a catalogue of London prostitutes. Even the most genteel of husbands has access to a seamier existence, as Sophia comes to realise: Ned's brothel-keeper mother has "some of the most celebrated persons of the Age in my pocket".
It is language that begins to give "Mr Zedland" away: the slang of the street, with which McCann has enormous fun. There is a glossary, but terms such as "pushing academy" (brothel), "Uncle" (pawnbroker) and "flash kiddey" (swaggering young thief) are as novel to Sophia as they are to us. When Betsy-Ann and Sophia come together over that quintessential Georgian artefact, the tea-table, the former causes shock with the instruction to "stand bitch" and pour the tea (or as the 20th century would have it, "be mother"). Two lexicons, two meanings: Romeville is the slang word for London, but those who call it that live in a different city from the one Sophia hoped to know.
"You can't sell a woman in England!" exclaims Sophia in shock; but both women have been bartered. Their uneasy friendship is the motor of the book. "Dimber Ned", meanwhile, with his come-to-bed eyes, steely self-interest and fondness for vanishing acts, is a figure recognisable from any era. Betsy-Ann has it about right when she says: "He's either too deep to fathom or so shallow there's nothing in him."

Vanity Fair's World War Z Film Exclusive Revealing Troubling Signs
In my humble opinion, this isn't a smoking gun. It's not concrete. It's not all settled. Like Yoga Berra says "It isn't over till it's over". But these are more bad signs. Damon Lindelof, the screenwriter, sounds like he is already apologizing and making excuses for the film. Anyway, Let's hope this is a case smoke, with no fire.


text: I never meant it to be this way, never meant to leave you standing outside, in the pouring rain, never meant to make this hurt so much. A rumbling sound from deep inside my bag, a call, you say that you don't understand, but why is it so hard to comprehend that I can't feel the same about you, please just go, you're causing me so much pain and you probably don't realise it. It wasn't easy for me to tell you that I can't be with you, you've been an amazing friend for so long now, you came at me from nowhere, why aren't you surprised that I said no?

A dead line of the 24th November, 2015 for globally phasing out of all non-Machine Readable Passports (MRP) was set up by the International Civil Aviation Organisation. Thereafter, foreign Government may deny visa or entry to any person travelling on a non-Machine Readable Passport.
Therefore, all Indian expatriate community living in the Sultanate of Oman is here by advised again to apply for re-issue of their handwritten passports with machine-readable passports immediately in order to avoid any inconvenience in obtaining valid visa or international travel or immigration problem.
Satellite telephone services are not permitted in India. However, it has been found that some foreigners are carrying satellite phones with them while coming to India on tourist visa. These foreigners were intercepted and their satellite phones were seized. Under the law people including tourists found to be making unauthorized use of satellite telephone services will be prosecuted and all the sets found in possession of any individual will be seized.
It has been decided by the Government of India to extend the deadline for conversion of PIO cards in to OCI cards up to 30th June 2016 ; the dead line earlier was 31st March, 2016. All the PIO card holders in Oman are requested to ensure that they convert, if they have not already done so, their PIO cards to OCI cards before 30th June 2016.
Indian residents were hitherto allowed to take Indian currency notes with value up to INR 10,000 out of the country while non-residents visiting India were not permitted to take out any Indian currency notes while leaving the country. With a view to facilitating travel requirements of non-residents visiting India, it has been decided to allow all residents and non-residents (except citizens of Pakistan and Bangladesh) to carry with them Indian currency notes up to INR 25,000 while leaving the country.
Visitors to India like in the past are, however, allowed to carry with them any amount of Omani Rials or other convertible foreign currencies, which can be exchanged at the authorized exchange centres in India, including at international airports, hotels, etc. However, in case the quantum of foreign currency exceeds the amount equivalent to US$ 5,000 in cash or an overall of US$ 10,000 when combined with other financial instruments like cheques, travellers' cheques, drafts etc., a declaration to the Customs Officers at international airports at the time of arrival or departure, as the case may be, is required to be made.

Satellite telephone services are not permitted in India. However, unauthorized handsets of Thuraya, Irridium and other such satellite operators have been found in use since it is possible for individuals to avail satellite telephone services unauthorizedly in the country because satellite foot prints of Thuraya, Inmarsat, Irridium etc. are available in India. Tata Communications Limited is permitted to provide Inmarsat services in India which is being done through their Land Earth Station (LES) at Dighi (Pune) after a no objection certificate is issued by DOT on a case to case basis. Satellite telephony through Thuraya sets is unauthorized. The unauthorized use of such sets has serious security implications. Therefore, whenever Thuraya sets are detected to be in use they should be seized and the holder can be prosecuted under Section 6 of India Wireless Act and Section 20 of Indian Telegraph Act. Under the law people including tourists found to be making unauthorized use of satellite telephone services will be prosecuted and all the sets found in possession of any individual will be seized.

Impact Of Real Interest Rates On Real Output Growth In India: A Long-Run Analysis In A Liberalized Financial Regime
The study attempts to evaluate the impact of short-term real interest rate on growth rate in India in a liberalized financial and trade regime (March 1993 to March 2005). Using ARDL approach to cointegration of Pesaran and Shin (1999), the study finds that interest rate does not have a direct impact; rather, it may have an indirect and adverse impact on growth rate through the transmission channel of bank credit, thereby neither supporting the arguments advocated by Keynesians nor the explanations offered by the proponents of Financial Liberalization School. This incredible result may be attributed to the poor quality of credit disbursal of the banking system in India or low credit offtake for productive investment purposes as investment, an important determinant of economic growth, is governed by several other factors.

Sumatra, or Bust!
We know from our ancient collective memory that a very, very, very long time ago the human, a distant and quite difficult cousin, diverged from our common path of wisdom. We — and when I say we, I mean we, the simia, farflung over our world, from the robust down to our smallest relations, and not human — we remained, abided all, endured. The human, however, in the long ago as now, was never content. The human wanted the sky above the forest, like the birds, and has sadly lost so much. Its fur, the trees, its sense of humour.
My sometime friend and immediate neighbour, Gandalf, the zoo-born mountain gorilla penned with his mother and aunt, regularly, as in daily, flung his feces at visiting humans. These were young Gandalf's innocent attempts at cross-species connection. His generous sharing of a natural joy: the strength of his arm, and accuracy in his eye. Older myself, no zoo-born and no innocent, I understood, as they invariably chattered unpleasantly and scattered from the concourse, and his accurate peltings, that our hairless cousins simply might have been too long away from the trees.
Most evenings, afterward, we sat together and spoke of it. Nearly together. In adjoining enclosures. Gandalf, dejected, on his brushy sand island, and moat ringed around it. And I consoling, ever consoling — too long consoling, I saw this fair evening — from high within my puzzle forest of broken trees the human arranged for my stay.
"Doctor Zaius, why won't they play with me?" Gandalf asked, again.
I was away in thought a long moment before replying him.
Doctor Zaius, the human had named me. She liked teevee, a box of lights and sounds and wonders. The name suggested by teevee. When I was little, she had kept me in a warm room. She, me, and teevee. The world was white outside, and strange. It burned my hand when I touched it. I held tightly to her, because little, I needed her warmth, needed her heart beating under my ear. But she was not my mother, nor could she ever be. And teevee not once could answer me directly, the poor thing.
"You are from Sumatra, Doctor Zaius." she sang to me, "The Malay call you o'rang'hutan. Forest person."
Even before she sang me it, it was a fact I always knew, somehow.
Gandalf was waiting. Gleaming eyes watching. Sitting on his haunches in the sandy beach in the twilight, by the moat filled up to keep him in.
"They won't play, because they have mostly lost their way, my young padowan." It was my usual consoling response.
The great puzzle tree they had made to amuse me also afforded an uncomplicated way outside, over the surrounding fence, until recently. But then I liked a puzzle. With night fast descending, reaching my arms, I swung, branch after branch, along the likeliest path.
"You going out, Doctor Zaius? To watch teevee?"
"Yes, Gandalf."
It had been easy, leaping those many nights from the last branches of my puzzle tree, into the great tree on the concourse. Then toddling over the ground to the window, to the light and sounds, and teevee, and man watching it. Until the night the man turned, saw me peering in, and yowled. Then they cut back my puzzle tree.
"I like it when you come back and tell me about teevee, Doctor Zaius."
I hadn't decided yet if I would tell Gandalf that I wasn't coming back. I had decided I had stayed long enough. Displayed myself long enough. The humans had click'clicked enough pictures, and could now peer at them. I was going to Sumatra, however far Sumatra might be, and my forest, the forest of old dreams.
The puzzle tree ended. It ended too far to leap. But they had not cut away every last long twig. And remembering a wondrous thing a man did to that fence one rainy day, I saw a new way.
"Doctor Zaius..."
Dropping the long twig in the pond, I went to the fence, to the gate the man came through. To the small metal box. Picked up a rock. I hit the box, again, again, again, and again. It opened.
"Doctor Zaius! — I remember th...that's bad!"
The dark guts inside the box seemed dead. I threw the rock inside. It spat blue fire. I had woken it up.
"Man didn't get up, Doctor Zaius! — Bad bad bad! —"
"SHUDDDUP! — YOU SHOULD BE ASLEEP IN YOUR BUSHES!" — Gandalf's mother. His aunt, also, sleepy annoyance pop'popping in her voice.
I dragged the wet twig from the pond. And paused, thinking at first perhaps to touch one end of the twig to the strange blue spitting fire inside the box and the other end to the fence. Remembering then the man, I certainly yelped — simply flung the wet long twig at the sparking box and the fence.
There came one great flash, hard like lightning. I fled to the puzzle tree. Peering, seeing the box dark, dead again, I ventured nearer, and nearer the fence. Saw one end stuck in the fence, the other inside the dark box, the twig really hardly at all smoking. Tentatively, reached my hand to touch the fence...
Startled by Gandalf's outburst, I sprang — all fours upon the fence.
Evidently, now the fence was dead. However, a torchlight was coming along the concourse, swinging over the ground in time with the man running with it.

What makes Bob Seger so great? He is not Sting, U2, or Kid Rock, but his Grand Rapids show sold out in 6 Minutes and his Detroit show sold out in record time, so they added 5 more, and all of them sold out in a matter of minutes.
Here is a guy who has kind of a raspy voice, he is not flashy, yet crowds flock to him.
*As a disclaimer, If I could get tickets for his show, I would.
