Trade, energy top Obama agenda in first Canada trip
By Jeff Mason and Ross Colvin
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Trade, energy and the global economic crisis will top the agenda of U.S. President Barack Obama's visit to Canada on Thursday, his first foreign trip since taking office last month.
Concerns about U.S. trade protectionism and plans to fight climate change will also feature during Obama's one-day visit, which includes meetings with Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Canadian Parliament.
Analysts said the two leaders would spend time getting to know each other while possibly touching on sensitive issues such as Canada's troop presence in Afghanistan and the U.S. imprisonment of Canadian citizen Omar Khadr at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Obama plans to close the U.S. prison there.
But the deepening economic downturn, which both countries are struggling to contain, would get the most attention at the talks, U.S. officials said.
"He (Obama) recognizes that there is no larger trading or important economic partner for the United States than Canada, and that will be the primary issue that they will discuss, namely the economy," senior Obama foreign policy adviser Denis McDonough told reporters in Washington on Tuesday.
Obama made waves during the 2008 Democratic presidential primary by suggesting his support for renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which groups Canada, the United States and Mexico.
He backed off that pledge during the general election and analysts said Canada viewed the rhetoric as political maneuvering.
McDonough said Obama still believed that NAFTA's environmental and labor provisions should be strengthened, a demand of trade unions who backed his White House campaign. Continued...

#1 Consumer Comment
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, June 25, 2013POSTED: Tuesday, June 25, 2013
I met Mr. Mike Merath on a job interview some time ago and though I found him cordial I wasn't impressed. He never addressed me by my name and either did his co-worker Jon. I was given materials to read about the position and found it was an on call position which could involve a great deal of driving. I then noticed a plaque on his wall from an area police department he claimed to have worked for. I asked him why he wasn't with them anymore and he stated it was a personal issue. I took this to believe it was a bad incident and that didn't sound good to me.
I think this company has many problems with their employees and when I brought that up, Merath refused to comment on it. I walked out of there believing this interview was a total waste of time and everything I heard about this company seems to be true. Granted some people are happy with them, but I've read too many negatives about G4S to accept any employment from them.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Kincer Early Origins
Scotland, and thus the family had holdings in Scotland from very early times. This line produced Saer de Quincy (1155-1219), 1st Earl of Winchester. He had a grant from the crown of the Manor of Bushley in Northamptonshire, previously the property of Anselme de Conchis. He had two sons, one was a Soldier of the Cross and the other named Saier was created Earl of Winchester by King John. [2]CITATION[CLOSE]

Kincer Spelling Variations
Kincer Spelling Variations
Before the last few hundred years the English language had no fixed system of spelling rules. For that reason, spelling variations occurred commonly in Anglo Norman surnames. Over the years, many variations of the name Kincer were recorded, including Quincy, Quincey, de Quincey, Quince and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
The unstable environment in England at this time caused numerous families to board ships and leave in search of opportunity and freedom from persecution abroad in places like Ireland, Australia, and particularly the New World. The voyage was extremely difficult, however, and only taken at great expense. The cramped conditions and unsanitary nature of the vessels caused many to arrive diseased and starving, not to mention destitute from the enormous cost. Still opportunity in the emerging nations of Canada and the United States was far greater than at home and many went on to make important contributions to the cultures of their adopted countries. An examination of many early immigration records reveals that people bearing the name Kincer arrived in North America very early: Parker Quince who settled in Boston in 1763; Edmund Quincy, originally of Wigsthorp in Northumberland (of the Scottish Quinceys), settled in Boston in 1633.

Not clear if China had a deal with India: Srikanth Kondapalli
Srikanth Kondapalli, professor, Chinese Studies, JNU, on lessons from the India-China stand-off in Ladakh.
The Chinese troops withdrew from their positions after camping for 20 long days on Indian territory. It is speculated that India may have agreed to dismantle certain border positions and observation posts as a quid pro quo to Chinese withdrawal. What lesson must India draw from this? Srikanth Kondapalli, professor, Chinese Studies, JNU, joined IBNLive readers for an interaction on the issue.
Q. Don't you think India should keep things secret in the media about the infrastruture development as Actions speaks louder than words? Asked by: Rakesh
A. Infrastructure projects cannot be hidden from the public view. Besides, there are also gadgets like satellite and other surveillance systems which could detect such projects. In any case the infrastructure projects should be aimed at improving the livelihood of the local people. Otherwise, if these are meant only for the military purpose, an underdeveloped country like India cannot afford such projects. In this case, Ladakh should have first rate roads, railways and airfields for improving the livelihood of the people first. Such infrastructure projects should also gel with the local environment, so that we give this to the future generations. If you have been to this area, you would realise the pristine nature of the land.
Q. How can India beat china in regional politics given the fact they are more important to our neighbours e:g Nepal? Asked by: Kavita
A. First, China is not the major factor in the Nepalese politics, history, culture or economy. India still has significant influence in Nepal, although there is an undercurrent of anti-India feeling in Nepal and is sometimes expressed there in terms of seeking support from China. India-Nepal relations are still largely conditioned by the treaty that exists between the two countries since 1950s. On the other hand, China's trade with Nepal is miniscule and their investments are not much as compared to the intensive Indian interactions. It is true that China had supplied arms to Nepal in 1987 and subsequently, but these were minor, although this violated the Indo-Nepal treaty. China also had shown interest in the Lumbini project and a few hydro-electricity projects - sometimes at the cost of the Indian companies. I think India should invest more in Nepal to the benefit of the Nepalese.
Q. When, according to you, India and China had the Best of relationship and when will they have it Again? Asked by: Rohit
A. I think India-China relations never exhibited the "best" of the relationship so far as they have not resolved bilateral problems - like the territorial dispute, respective security concerns, etc. In other words, they have not reached "permanent peace" yet. It is possible that they can reach this stage if they resolve all outstanding bilateral problems. I doubt, however, this could happen in the short to medium term. Generally, Chinese point out to China-Russia relations as part of this "permanent peace", although there are still some problems that exist
Q. Why are we so timid in dealing with china, can't we be bold and assertive in dealing with them? Asked by: Col N B Chinnappa(Retd)
A. I don't think we are timid in dealing with China. In international relations, some countries keep a low profile for various relations - but mainly due to huge asymmetries in power or because the national objectives demand as such. In the case of India and China there are huge asymmetries - in economy, per capita income, literacy, health care, conventional and strategic weapons, international influence (due to UNSC membership for China), etc. Nevertheless, sometime the "weak" can also show "teeth" - as it happened on "one India" and "one China" clash in December 2010 or during Operation Checkerboard in 1987. Indian political system also differs from that of the Chinese system. In India you have to negotiate constantly with a large number of stakeholders.
Q. Why does China not settle its border with India? How does quality of leadership at New Delhi and proximity between India and United States affect China's stance? Asked by: Saurav Sarmah
A. On the territorial dispute, there are different ways of resolving this - for e.g. through war (which is ruled out in the 1993 and 1996 agreements between India and China); approaching the International Court of Justice or other legal mechanisms; or talking to the other side (which is what we have done with China thrice in 1960 and for last 31 years from 1981 till 2012). The last approach is quite long and dreary and not transparent and hence several speculations are going around on the Special Representative Talks. Both have experimented with either the principle of Mutual Understanding or Mutual Accommodation or package deal (as the Chinese side suggested) or the sector-by-sector approach (as the Indian side suggested), or swap principle (as the Chinese side suggested in 1959 or 1980) or "fair, reasonable and mutually acceptable" (as the Indian side suggested). The road map of these talks is not clear and hence the overall territorial dispute punctures any bonhomie in the bilateral relations. China is today not keen to resolve this as nationalism is rising there on "southern Tibet" and India is equally unprepared as we have coalition governments int he last two decades. So this is the crux of the problem. In the meanwhile, both countries are expanding their "capacities". On the US role, in 1962, the US officials clarified that McMahon Line should be the basis of the territorial limits between the two countries in the Eastern Sector.
Q. Have they Really gone back to status Quo Asked by: kiran
A. It is not clear from the official statements whether the Chinese troops have gone back to the status quo. The Indian Northern Army Command statement said: "Our troops have moved one kilometre backwards from the position they were on since April 16" Further, "Chinese troops have also moved away from their position they were holding on since April 15 when they intruded in Indian territory." However, this statement is not clear on how far the Chinese troops have gone back.
Q. The fact remains we cannot take on China militarily as China. The only alternative for India is to take the support of USA, which is the only super power in the world. To me USA ONLY can ask China not to cross lakshman rekha. Then why the fuss, is not right on the part of India to seek US help? Asked by: mohan
A. China was weak in the 1950s yet it took on the US-led UN forces in the Korean Peninsula (of course with North Korean and Soviet backing). A stalemate ensued - which still continues on the 38th parallel. There are so many other instances where the weak fought against the strong in human history! On the US factor, it is not clear whether the US will stand by India (assuming such talks ever have taken place!). The current case of Senkaku Islands is suggestive that US may not back to the hilt its own allies - in this case Japan. Today the US and China relations are so enmeshed together that it appears that the US takes into consideration at least some of the Chinese views. This is a part of the Group-2 phenomenon. Towards Japan and South Korea, the Chinese follow the strategy of Yuanjiao jingong - befriend distant states while attacking those who are located near]- i.e dealing with the US to address South Korea and Japan. This policy had been quite successful in creating a wedge between the US and Japan. So you need to be careful!
Q. What is the primary motive/reason behind such provocation ? What kind of political mileage do countries achieve by being aggressive and creating an environment of 'war' ? Asked by: Daksh
A. It is not clear why China acted the way it did from April 15 till May 5 at Depsang. We can only surmise: 1. to test the resolve of the Indian leadership (how the civil and military components would respond in the crisis situation), so that in a future conflict these could be factored in by China; 2. to test Indian responses (quick or decisive or slow); 3. to expand the Line of Actual Control which is fuzzy now and so one or the other party can forcibly extend the line into the other's territories; 4. to protect strategic assets being built in Pakistan controlled Northern Areas and PoK and in Tibet, etc. The PLA perhaps could have achieved many of the above objectives in the Depsang stand-off but it had also created conditions for further animosity in India. If the 1962 clashes created a constituency in India which is against China, Depsang incident could easily fuel such feelings at the popular level. So strategically a mis-adventure for China!
Q. If there are no clear demarcation of boundaries, how can anybody claim 'infiltration'? Why are the boundaries not being drawn? Asked by: Daksh
A. Excellent question. If you may recollect, the word "transgression" was used and not "infiltration"- the latter denoting some one entering into a legally defined boundary. This is the crux of the problem between India and China- there is no legally defined Line of Actual Control and the efforts of the officials on both sides to clarify such line. After the definition of the line, follows delineation and demarcation. So a long way to go. In the meanwhile both will transgress into the other's lands and we could as well see another Depsang!
Q. Do you feel that China may have done some deal against withdrawal of their troops and Indian government may be hiding the fact to show its winning position? Asked by: Raju
A. It is not clear whether there was a deal. There is no information from the Govt on this issue. Maybe the issue will be raised int he parliament. In any case we could get to know about this - of course after some time. I wrote at Rediff.com yesterday as follows: It is also not clear if the Indian side had agreed with China on the latter's three main demands viz., to stop infrastructure projects in Ladakh, discontinued patrolling up to the Line of Actual Control, de-activating the Daulet Beg Oldi, Fukche and Nyoma airfields. Similarly it is not clear if there is a reciprocal demand that China should stop such projects in Tibet, adjoining the Line of Actual Control. Ground level situation in the coming months and years will indicate the variations and compromises, if any.
Q. When is India planning to complete infrastructure development on China border? Asked by: Jayesh
A. The Border Roads Organisation and GREF are tasked with these road projects in the Eastern, Middle and Western sectors. They announced that nearly 50 percent of the work is done. We need to strengthen such work.

SUBMITTED: Wednesday, September 16, 2009POSTED: Wednesday, September 16, 2009
At least my car did not get towed. I was working a job picking up medical specimens and I had two stops within two blocks of each other on the south side of Wilshire Ave just east of Alvarado. My plan was to make a left turn and park on a side street. Unfortunately at that hour, left turns are illegal and this was my first time running this particular segment of the route. My second stop was at the building on Westlake and Wilshire and that was a left turn prohibited street. So I started looking for a parking place on Wilshire and saw a sign for a loading zone. I signaled a lane change, looked behind me and got over to the loading zone and parked there. I got back to my car ten minutes later and there was a ticket for $145.00.
When I checked the location a second time, I noticed the no parking--gridlock enforcement on a high pole. There was no indication on the loading zone stanchion that there were additional parking restrictions--and in other locations one does see signs on parking meters saying Restricted Parking, observe signs --mainly to warn of street sweeping times. Unlike Santa Monica and many other cities, LA does not put small signs on meters or loading zone signs advising motorists of additional parking restrictions. So I was given a ticket based on conflicting signs and like yourself, no way to see the no parking 4-7 sign from the street.
I took this case through administrative review and just a couple days ago, appealed to Superior Court. The hearing officer denied the appeal .
I agree with you that a class action suit is warranted if an attorney can be found who would be interested in pursuing the case. The issue the case would be fought out on would be the height of the sign (too high for one's field of vision looking backward up the street from the parking place) and whether the law requires that parking signs prohibiting parking at certain times must be clearly visible from the actual parking place. What I suspect has really happened here is that the city is trying to fight gridlock on the cheap. Traffic signs can be a significant expense believe it or not.
I recommend that you at least take your case to a hearing in Superior Court. You will probably be denied but at that point if a further appeal is filed, the case when heard before an appeals court will lead to a court decision and make law. That is something a class action lawyer might well be interested in. Please feel free to contact me at (((ROR redacted))) if you are interested in pursuing this further.

photo credit Nasa / Goddard Space Flight Center / Reto Stöckli Celtic Creation Myths Who were the Celts? -second millennium B.C.
-distinct geography What is their
creation myth? Well... there isn't one Myth 1: Oran Mor Quiet—
Eternal Quiet.
Not even the sound of the restless, stirring, dark waters could be heard.
Then, a great spiraling strain of Melody moved across the endless waters. Subdued at first, then quickly gathering momentum until it reached a great crescendo. And, then, there was Life! But the Melody did not stop. It continued its song, filling all of Creation with its divine harmony.
And so it continues today,
for all those who listen. On the oak, grew a plant whose seeds were formed of the foam tears of the sea.
To sustain her, Eiocha ate the seeds,
these white berries, and they were transformed within her.
Eiocha grew heavy with child and gave birth to the god, Cernunnos. Giants
They were the gods and they ruled the universe, living in the sky, while protecting the earth.
They never stepped on earth, but during Hoarfrost, the first snow on earth, a giant came to Earth for the first time.
As he set foot on the ground, flames erupted, and all of earths great beauty was destroyed.
His body than melted and formed the earth we now know.
The forests were formed by his locks of hair.
His mammoth bones became the mountains and hills,
and his skull, the crystal blue sky. Myth 3: Hoarfrost Myth 2: Eiocha &
The Tree Creation of Cernunnos Myth 4: Cycle of the Invasions The Mythological Cycle
Throughout the Celtics early history, they were invaded by five waves of groups.
-The Partholan's
-The Nemed's
-The Firbolgs
-The Tuatha De Danann, or People of the god Dana.
-And finally the Milesians (Sons of Miled) from Spain) and their conquest of the People of Dana. Connection: the Celtic knots

It's a double-edged sword teaching a child how to call emergency services.
On the one hand it's vital they have some clue what to do in an emergency – but their idea of what constitutes an emergency isn't always the same as an adult's.
The Greenville County Sheriff's Office were made all too aware of that fact when a two-year-old dialed with a fashion crisis, although due to her age she was unable to fully explain.
To make sure that there was no genuine emergency an officer was dispatched.

I like Calvin Harris's album 'Ready for the Weekend'. It's a party from start to finish – a total disco record. David Guetta's song "Sexy Chick" is brilliant, too. I've been listening to some old-school acid house, too.
I just got 50 Cent's book, 'The 50th Law'. I haven't had time to read it properly yet, but I have been skimming through it. There are some really powerful things in there. I relate to him because we come from a similar world, where there are not a lot of opportunities, and he manages to turn every situation into a huge positive.
I'm more of an old-school film guy usually, but the last film I saw was Jay-Z's movie 'Fade to Black'. It's a movie documenting him making his last album and performing his last concert before he was going to retire. It gives you an insight into how normal the guy is. I watched the Iron Maiden movie 'Flight 666', about them touring the world. They went to 20 countries in six weeks.
My favourite programme is 'Dragons' Den' – it's quite hilarious. You get some strange guys on there. I'm also a big 'EastEnders' fan.

The tournament is likely to be shifted to either England or South Africa and Tendulkar said "it won't be the same".
"It is disappointing that the IPL has been moved out of India," he said. "We will certainly miss playing in front of our supporters. It won't be the same. It was a good concept to play home and away matches. This is something that the teams will miss this time around. Wherever we play, we hope to have the same fervour that we had last season."
Yuvraj Singh, Tendulkar's India team-mate who captains Kings XI Punjab, also said that this season was going to be a shock to the system.
He also hoped Indian players would be allowed to take their families to the IPL because they would have just returned from a long tour of New Zealand.
"It is sad that the IPL won't be held in India. But we have to go ahead with it as it is the decision of the board," Yuvraj said. "As we would be returning home from New Zealand after a long tour, we hope we are allowed to take our families along.
"It's a mixed feeling because we were looking forward to play at home, now we have to play away so we feel sad for a lot of Indians who were looking forward to watch it. But due to certain conditions we have [to] play overseas, which is also going to be fun.
"Anyway if we were playing in India, a lot of home games were shifted to other centres. So it was not actually a home game or away game."
The organisers of the IPL were forced to shift the tournament out of India after the government said it could not guarantee adequate security for the matches because dates clashed with parliamentary elections.

Police: 2 men arrested after breaking into neighbor's home
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Police arrested two men they said broke into a neighbor's home in the Elizabeth neighborhood.
Police said Marcus Humphries, 32, and Sohrab King, 36, broke into the home on Wyanoke Avenue and stole several items, including a toolbox.
The homeowner called police to report the break-in and that he saw two men walking down the street with his toolbox.
Officers located both men, who they said live across the street from the victim. They said they found the stolen property in the woods behind the suspects' home.
Both men were charged with breaking and entering, larceny and possession of stolen goods.

Web designers of all kinds keep tons of content on their hard drives and only…
Backpack Review: Leave Home Without It..That's the Point
Many websites are, or eventually become, collaborative efforts. The greatest sites are often the combination of works provided by several talented individuals, and keeping those individuals producing great content or doing whatever it is that they do does require more than a modicum of organization. So, it is time to look deep inside and ask whether your management style and techniques could not use a little help. If you are thinking that there might be a little more money to be squeezed out of a domain and/or team member, then it is time to look into Backpack.
Backpack Has it All Under One Roof Zipper
A recurring theme that hit our reviewers over and over again was: isn't this available for free elsewhere? The answer is that yes, most of what Backpack has to offer is available for free under many different sites. Therein is the beauty of Backpack: everything is organized and tightly integrated into a single service. Instead of having to check Google Docs for this, Google Wave for that, and then some other online service for this, that, and the other thing, it is all in one place.
Define 'All'
Ok, so 'all' is a big word, but in this context it means that Backpack puts calendars, files, documents, message boards, notes, to-do lists, reminders, and just about everything else a business or organization could want is in one central place. Everything can be added to individual pages, which are surprisingly simple to make yet highly effective. Each page can be shared with different users and notifications of page additions and/or changes is a breeze. While none of the pages are going to be as slick as the latest Thesis skins, they are certainly functional, easy to modify, and not likely to cause blindness due to horrid design malfunctions.
These tools are all accessible to different members of any organization, which greatly increases collaboration. For example, a new deadline can be added to a writer's schedule along with an interview appointment, the e-mail reminders for both of those events, and the to-do list item for both of these events. As these items change from the future tense to the past, the powers that be can be notified of the changes and rest assured that projects are moving along as planned. This is only one example of how Backpack can make life easier, but there are plenty of others.
Remind Me Later
Managing multiple projects can be a challenge, and more projects only adds to the difficulty. One of the nicest things about Backpack is that it allows reminders to be set, complete with e-mail and/or SMS notification(s). There can be little excuse for falling behind when the SMS messages and/or e-mails arrive, and this can be a great tool for reminding contributors of deadlines and ensuring that whatever needs to get done does indeed get done in a timely fashion.
Laptop Toasted? Don't Worry! Backpack Has Your Files
Keeping everything under one proverbial roof is great when things go bad. If a computer were to die or be lost in transit, perhaps on the way to a conference, then nothing stored on Backpack is truly lost. All one has to do is secure a replacement system, log in, and everything is right as it was left. This is the major draw of cloud-based apps, and Backpack extends this appeal by putting everything in a single place and making it easy to access. Of course, easy to access does not have to mean insecure as an available 128-bit SSL encryption technology is available on all but the lowest tier of Backpack plans.
On the subject of plans, it is time to get down to the nails and tacks. Sadly, Backpack is not a free service, but it offers a lot for one's dollar. The Basic plan only costs $24 a month, but allows up to 6 users to share up to 1000 pages that consume as much as 4 GB of space. The downside to the Basic plan is that it does not offer 128-bit SSL encryption like the Plus ($49 per month), Premium ($99 per month), and Max ($149) per month. The Plus plan increases limits to 15 users, 10 GB, and 2500 pages, while the Premium plan takes that a step further and increases limits up to 40 users, 20 GB of storage, and 5000 pages. The Max plan offers a stunning 500 user cap, along with 7500 pages and 50 GB of storage, and all accounts offer an incredibly long list of standard features. There is also a risk-free 30 day trial ,which would probably be a great place to start for anyone seriously considering seeing how much organization truly pays.

Tonight we are dining in the Chops Grille for my birthday. They claim the best steak on the high seas. We have much more motion on this crossing than we did last year in the Pacific. They have drained and closed the pools until we get to some calmer waters. They have also made some subtle changes in the entertainment because of the increased motion.
So, we hope all are well and we will get back to you when better conditions permit. ...

Hálpata Tastanaki Preserve Saved From Pipeline
The 8,146 acre Hálpata Tastanaki Preserve in Marion County has been saved from serious impacts threatened by the Sabal Trail Natural Gas Pipeline. The original route for the pipeline would have passed directly through the preserve lands owned by the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD).
Audubon Florida and Marion County Audubon Society urged SWFWMD to stay firm in the agency's objections to the pipeline route across the tract. Audubon also contacted Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the Governor's office, urging support for SWFWMD's staff positon.
The 8,146 acre Hálpata Tastanaki Preserve contains one of the most robust populations of the endangered Florida Scrub-Jay in the state, and the original pipeline routes would have threatened this habitat.
After a meeting on October 10th with representatives from DEP, SWFWMD, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission staff, and both Audubon Florida and Marion County Audubon, the Sabal Trail Pipeline agreed to change the pipeline route to skirt the edge of Hálpata Tastanaki tract, avoiding any significant impact. Pipeline construction will also be coordinated with the construction of a multi-use trail planned for the Cross Florida Greenway.
Many thanks to SWFWMD, DEP, and the Governor's office for protecting these important conservation lands!

With a new tour about to begin David Bazan fans can get a little taste of the man in action with bassist Andy Fitts and drummer Alex Westcoat via a new Daytrotter session (Bazan's third) and an appearance on the venerable Austin City Limits. The Daytrotter session finds the band running through three tracks—"Eating Paper", "Level With Yourself" and "Virginia" with an intensity that bodes well for the group's upcoming performances.
With this year's Strange Negotiations continuing to garner the onetime Pedro The Lion man critical acclaim, the road seems the perfect place for Bazan to connect with fans, which he will be doing straight through the middle of December, starting in Spokane, Washington and ending in Eugene, Oregon. Although those bookends might make it seem as though Bazan isn't really traveling all that far, the tour winds through the middle of the country, to the south and southwest before he brings it all back home.

Skip to comments.Latest brainstorm. Lets sue companies who refuse to hire the unemployed!
Posted on 09/23/2011 1:05:00 PM PDT by SeekAndFind
Well, at least they're focusing on jobs, even if only for trial lawyers.
The latest brilliant plan to get people back to work seems to focus on… wait for it… punishing potential employers by dragging them into court on a whole new class of discrimination based lawsuits. The idea, spearheaded by Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and a handful of other Democrats, would identify employers who run advertisements which specifically seek to avoid hiring people who are currently unemployed and allow them to be taken to court on some form of discrimination charge.
Lawyers should be allowed to win financial damages from companies that refuse to hire unemployed people, according to a coalition of Democratic legislators, progressive advocates and entrepreneurial trial lawyers.
The existence of even a few advertisements excluding unemployed applicants in the national marketplace justifies a federal law creating a novel market for legal skills, say the advocates.
We dont know for sure how extensive it is [but] if it is on one [job advertisement] website, thats too extensive for me, the bills chief backer, Ohio Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown, told the TheDC.
Apparently they have dug up approximately 150 advertisements from across the entire country which include something about unemployed candidates not needing to apply. What this really calls for is some sort of stupidity award for the HR departments at those firms because they're just asking for trouble. Even if that's really your intention, it's easy enough to determine somebody's employment status from the resume they submit and simply not offer an interview to the unemployed if that's your preference.
What we don't need is yet another excuse to go dragging employers into court, driving up their legal costs and, thereby, reducing the resources they have available to hire anyone. While I certainly sympathize with the instinct to see such hiring policies as unfair, (and stupid, frankly) the knee-jerk reaction shouldn't be to set up a system to create an ever increasing death spiral of lawsuits clogging up the courts. If we improve conditions on the ground for employers to confidently bring on more workers, the available pool of labor shrinks and companies will need to compete for the best talent. It's really not all that complicated.
The Department of Labor actually found 152 such advertisements recently in Monster and CarreBuilder.
See how they like that!
Yeah, something like this should appear in the ad:
"Those who support the demolition of the free market economy need not apply, since this firm participates in that economy."
This doesn't count the time-waster companies that advertize for jobs that they do not have, nor have any intention of fulfilling. I used to work for Dell, and it was common for us to interview people (desperate for a job) for positions that we didn't have open. The idea was to intimadate people currently in that department, or to generate interviews for HR to measure our 'Cultural Diversity' against.
Anyway you look at it, the people who took the time to drive in, dress sharp and get their hopes up - were abused by Dell. After a short bit of this, I requested to be removed from the interview list.
I was going to say that discrimination on the basis of employment is perfectly rational, but I don't want to anymore. I'm sick of having to justify discrimination. I'm sick of the state's presumption of choosing what is and what'sm not proper choosing on the part of employers. Or anyone else, for that matter. It's none of your business!
Today's unemployed are in a catch 22 really.
You need a job but in order to find a job you must already have a job.
What we really need are businesses who are open minded enough to at least ask applicants to explain GAPS in employment rather than assume that all those who are currently unemployed are in that state due to incompetence or inability to do the job.
RE: to interview people (desperate for a job) for positions that we didnt have open.
Did DELL have to spend money to advertise for the non-existent position?
"You need a job but in order to find a job you must already have a job."
No you don't.
"What we really need are businesses who are open minded enough to at least ask applicants to explain GAPS in employment rather than assume that all those who are currently unemployed are in that state due to incompetence or inability to do the job."
It's not about open-mindedness. It's that they're (or at least the ones posting these announcements) so inundated with applications that they have to use some basis not to waste their time. Also, this sort of announcement isn't all that common.
"What we really need are businesses who are open minded enough to at least ask applicants to explain GAPS in employment"
Is it REALLY necessary to explain a recession and 10% unemployment? What kind of moron HR people are out there?
RE: What kind of moron HR people are out there?
Too many I'm afraid. And I know of too many who can't use common sense either. A lot of them don't even know the meaning of the skillsets their companies are looking for and only work by key words written in a resume.
I even know of large companies that don't bother to READ your resume, prefering to use some sort of smart scanning software to filter out certain people based on key words.
RE: You need a job but in order to find a job you must already have a job.
No you dont.
OK, can you then explain to me what the meaning of words like "Those currently unemployed need not apply"?
If this does not mean "you must have a job to find a job" (regardless of the advertiser's intention), then I don't know what else it means.
HR is bizzaro world. Most HR departments are a mess, and a fiscal liability, to the companies they serve.
Most large companies are starting to farm that out to a third party.
When I told them I didn't list that particular position because it was totally unrelated to my subsequent and current career path, they wanted to know details which were even more irrelevant.
I think they invited me because I have an ethnic sounding name and then rejected me because I don't look sufficiently ethnic to go with it. But I can't prove it.
Nope, Dell has their website that posts the job listings for people to apply for.
"If this does not mean 'you must have a job to find a job' (regardless of the advertisers intention), then I dont know what else it means."
It means what you think it means. The point is that not all jobs have that requirement. Not very many of them at all have it, in fact, at least where I live.
Also, much like the conventional "1 to 3 years experience," they don't necessarily mean it. They are intended to drive applicants away, which doesn't mean you can't possibly get interviewed or get a job without fulfilling the requirement. Or maybe it does mean that, but not because the employers are closed minded.
You may have been better off in the long run. If the company was that stupid in how they handled potential employees, just imagine how they treat their actual employees in reality.
What would the unemployed applicants be suing to actually receive? An actual job with the company or the company providing them with some kind of cash settlement? If it's the latter, I could easily see some unemployed person apply for a job he knows he's not qualified for, get turned down, sue for unemployment discrimination, and then get a lot of cash from the company without having to work for it in return.
Back in the day you could call the former employer and he could give you the whole dish, good or bad, but now former employers can't say because they might get sued.
unfortunately, even the employers who don't specify this may require a credit check before hiring. how many unemployed people have good credit ?

"Ici Londres … Yvette likes big carrots …Paul has some good tobacco … the secretary is very pretty … I want to be a godfather … and the big blonde is called Bill."
Thankfully, it all made sense to certain listeners tuned into the BBC in occupied France in the early 1940s, conveying that weapons were to be dropped, by parachute, somewhere the resistance could find them. Other broadcasts from London contained similarly coded messages.
Then finally, nearly 70 years ago, the airwaves from across the Channel included seven words from Paul Verlaine's poem Chanson d'Automne: "Wound my heart in a monotonous languor," said the voice. It was one of the signals that the Normandy landings were about to begin.
As France prepares to commemorate what may be the last major anniversary of D-Day attended by significant numbers of veterans next month, a book to be published on Monday examines the role of BBC French-language broadcasts to occupied France. Je vous écris de France, compiled and annotated by the French historian and radio presenter Aurélie Luneau, is a collection of 200 of the 1,000-plus letters that escaped the German and Vichy government censors to arrive at the BBC in London between July 1940 and August 1944. Many featured in a daily news and morale-boosting programme called Les Français parlent aux Français (The French Speak to the French).
With France occupied by the Germans and General Charles de Gaulle in London calling for his defeated compatriots to continue the struggle, the programme was seen as an antidote to Nazi propaganda and for diffusing messages and codes to the resistance, and the letter writers, almost all anonymous for fear of retribution, sent their letters never knowing if they would arrive. Many were censored, some lost. Other writers found the Gestapo knocking at their door. At one point the BBC was receiving 100 letters from France every month.
The book is based on unpublished correspondence packed in nine boxes at the BBC's archives in Reading. Luneau, who rediscovered the cache, says they are a testament to the everyday courage of French people. "Nobody knew about these letters until now. The aim of the book is to pay tribute to the writers, who at best risked having their radio taken away and a fine and at worse, prison, forced labour or deportation to the death camps," Luneau told the Observer. "During the occupation, the French turned to the BBC for their news. France was under the German boot but people knew the BBC would tell the truth even if the news was bad, and this countered German propaganda. With the BBC, people knew they were hearing the truth.
"Before the war 6.5 million people had radios out of a population of 40 million, but people listened en famille or with friends, and those who couldn't listen heard about things from word of mouth.
"Even sending the letters was a challenge. No letters were allowed to be sent from the occupied zone, and even in the free zone they were censored. The BBC has more than 1,000 letters of which there are 200 in the book, but we have no idea how many never arrived, were lost or not kept. We also have no idea how many people tuned in, but the BBC became a conduit for civil resistance. The radio would tell people to dress in colourful patriotic clothes and take to the streets to demonstrate and they would, up to 150,000 of them."
Je vous écris de France, published by L'iconoclaste, opens with a missive from a woman in Béziers who writes: "My dear English friends, thank you for the comfort your programmes bring to those French people who remain desperate for liberty, who do not accept being eaten in Hitlerian sauce, who keep in their hearts, with impotent rage against our bad masters, the tenacious hope of relief."
Men, women and children wrote. Some to praise, others to criticise Britain's lack of military support, or lambast De Gaulle for dividing France. "You have to deliver us, and above all do it quickly," said one letter in childlike writing. "We are dying of hunger and will be shot if we don't obey."
On a sheet of lined exercise-book paper a letter writer signing himself "a young French boy of 13 years" drew the tricolour and the union flag above the caption: "Vive les Allies."
Some wrote of their hatred for "les Boches", others ranted in despair and bitter disillusionment with the British. "The English don't want to fight, they prefer to let others do it … the forces that Britain sent to France in 1940 were extremely weak, badly trained and without the necessary equipment. After that, it was mathematically impossible for a badly armed, badly equipped and very demoralised France to repel more than 200 better armed and trained German divisions … the French have lost all hope in an English victory," wrote one angry listener from Marseille on 29 July 1940.
He continued: "She [England] has no army, her navy is powerless against the German and Italian planes … this is what happens to selfish countries who feel safe at home and make others fight when they themselves don't want to … England stopped France organising its victory in 1918 and allowed Germany to rise again for fear of a France that was too strong …she provoked the war in 1939 and abandoned France in the middle of the battle." The letter finishes: "ps. Your radio is grotesque and insulting to the French."
"There's a whole range of opinions, feelings and emotions," Luneau said. "But for most people during those years, the BBC remained the voice of truth, freedom and hope."

Turning Trash into Treasure: The Green Room
Published: October 27, 2008
By Wendy Gordon
What if you could be rewarded for recycling? Just think about it: a frequent-flyer program for recyclers. Put your recyclablest in an electronically tagged bin for pickup by a truck, which weighs how much you are recycling--and transmits the data to a web site. By the time you've reentered your home, you can retrieve the points online and redeem them for discounts at stores like CVS and PETCO, or on brands like Stonyfield Farms, Sun & Earth and Green Mountain Coffee.
That's the simple idea behind Recyclebank, the brainchild of two high-school science-lab partners and one of the "hottest plays" among venture-capital firms. In a word, or four, by "turning garbage to gold," Recyclebank has changed the economics of recycling. In cities and towns where it's operating, like Wilmington, Delaware, recycling rates have jumped tenfold, from 3 percent to 32 percent.
The program has many winners, including the recycler, who stands to get as much as $45 a month in redeemable points. With all the belt-tightening that is happening right now, that could translate into a lot of free yogurt, pet food or personal-care supplies. The cities and towns that participate stand to benefit too. There are considerable savings when municipalities divert trash from the dump to facilities that sort, crush and ship it out for reuse. Since Recyclebank arrived in Everett, Massachusetts, 11 tons of trash have been diverted from landfills every day. Everett has saved $300,000, which -has been split with Recyclebank.
Recyclebank is expanding rapidly. Currently operating in 13 states, they expect to be serving a million households by the end of 2009, and are planning for ten million households within the next five years. If you are interested in bringing the Recyclebank to your community, sign up online and they will contact you. Recyclebank will work with your hauler or municipality to develop the program locally. You can help the process by contacting your hauler or city council and explaining why the program is worthwhile. And get your friends and neighbors to do the same. If you have more questions about the program, you can also call them at 888-727-2978.
