Kessler doesn't see much change in Froch
WBA super middleweight champion Mikkel Kessler, who takes on IBF super middleweight champion Carl Froch on Saturday in London, England's O2 Arena, was asked on a conference call last week whether Froch has changed much from when Kessler defeated him in the Super Six three years ago. "You know, I really don't think so," said Kessler. "He's maybe, yes, a lot I say it – a lot – a confidence side and he has a lot of – he trusts himself a lot, you know, what he's doing and he's basically strong and even in the loss to me and he still worked on it and came back. So that's good. I don't think he really has changed anything in his boxing style. He's still got the same mistakes and he's still awkward and, in his way, you know, that's his sparring style. But yet he's still got some flaws that I would say that – very bad ones. So you can't say it's a new style. It's just a more confident style."

JP Morgan Cuts ValueVision Media
JP Morgan cut its rating on ValueVision Media (VVTV ) to neutral from overweight.
Analyst Bart Crockett said that the company forecast third quarter revenue as likely to grow only 5% with earnings before interest taxes depreciation and amortization loss totaling $5 million, vs. his previous estimates of 15.5% revenue growth, and earnings before interest taxes depreciation and amortization profit of $386,000. The analyst says the company blames weakening consumer sentiment and high gas prices for its disappointing September after a reasonable August. He thinks the lack of sustainable profits will limit upside in the shares, with takeover potential limiting downside. He widened his 33 cents fiscal year 2006 (ending Jan) loss estimate to a 56 cents loss, and cuts his 17 cents fiscal year 2007 earnings per share to 9 cents earnings per share. He also cuts his $687 million fiscal year 2006 revenue estimate to $671 million, and $747 million fiscal year 2007 to $727 million.

World's smallest seastar found by Museum Victoria scientists.
Measuring less than five millimetres, it has been named the 'Paddle-spined seastar', after the fringe of plates around each arm. These are believed to help the animal nestle in seaweed and prevent it being swept away by waves.
Currently being described by Museum Honorary Associate Mark O'Loughlin and visiting Research Associate Milena Benavides from Colombia, this tiny species lives hidden amongst algae and sponges in Port Phillip Bay and along the Victorian coastline.
Like some larger seastars, the Paddle-spined seastar can divide into two pieces, with each half regrowing into a complete animal.
'We are very excited by this world-first find for Museum Victoria. Because of its small size it has been completely overlooked until now,' explained Dr Tim O'Hara, Senior Curator, Marine Invertebrates, Museum Victoria.
'Not much else is known about this cryptic creature and we look forward to conducting further research,' he added.
Museum Victoria's marine biology team conduct research on the ecology, evolution and bio-geography of various components of the marine fauna of southern Australia and elsewhere in the southern oceans. They play a leading role in providing information about the evolutionary history and biodiversity of Australia's marine fauna.
This unique find will be featured in the upcoming Museum Victoria Field Guide series of books. A comprehensive guide for the amateur and professional naturalist, An Introduction to Marine Life will be the first title in the series to be produced throughout 2007 – 2008. Other titles will include Crabs, Hermit Crabs and Allies, Shrimps, Prawns and Lobsters, Barnacles and Sea Spiders.
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.
Thanks Caitlin for your keen eyes - we are on to it, hopefully the updated information will be published on the next scheduled page refresh

Older Drivers
Frequently Asked Questions
14. If driving at night makes me nervous, what can I do?
Driving at night is a common concern of older drivers. Many of them "self-regulate" by not driving at night and getting around another way -- for example, by getting rides from friends or using ride-sharing services. Many older drivers also take classes to help them brush up on their driving skills and build confidence behind the wheel.
You can find classes online under "driving courses for older adults" or by checking the yellow pages under "driving schools."

Ware made the decision to attend Mississippi State official during a press conference at his school.
Ware said, "The reason why I chose the school is because it gives me endless possibilities. It is close to home and it gives me so many opportunities to become successful."
Ware chose Mississippi State over offers from Georgetown and Alabama, and then also interest was coming in from Georgia, LSU, Tennessee, and Oklahoma. In the end though, the lure of staying close to home proved to be too much, and Mississippi State won out.
At 6-foot-8 and 240 pounds, Ware currently is the No. 19 ranked center in the country and the No. 86 ranked player overall.
Ware is an old school center who prefers to play with his back to the basket, and does most of his damage on the interior. His skills to the mid-range have greatly improved in the last year, and held his own at the recent NBA Players Association Top 100 Camp.
By pulling the trigger Ware becomes the third commitment for Mississippi State in the class. He joins shooting guards Fred Thomas and Craig Sword. Now look for the Bulldogs to make a strong run at Devonta Pollard. Pollard, who is on the verge of five-star status, is very close friends with Ware, and also is his AAU teammate.

Just letting you know that there are anglers who fish every week in winter.
Keeper Striper for Dinner:
What winter?
Those are some nice crappie. They'd look real good in my frying pan. Congrats on the 1st striper.
crappie are full of worms but fun to catch.. Cant wait for the perch to show up... WHen you taking me to lake Anna Joe?
Jay the Crappie King...lol
Very nice, thank you for posting. Nice vessels.
You are wise to keep your boy fishing and hunting. That will distract him while he matures. We fathers need to engage our children and grandchildren in positive fruitfull activities. If you give him a rifle, and teach him how to shoot, he will have quality education on an important subject. A rifle strap will never hurt your son. Train up a boy in the way he should go.... If we do not keep our boys holding a rifle strap, they will soon be reaching too soon for a bra strap.
In Nov 2011 I was involved in a matter where a young gent , was caught with a gallon pickle jar, containing residue.
I asked why the jar had to be that big, - harder to hide, easier to break... no good answer... parents clueless....
I know in my heart that these " children " were growing that poison $hit, out in the woods near furnace creek, selling....
ITS not his kid but point well taken.. I have my son involved with the outdoors only hoping to keep the pipe out of his mouth.. WHere I live its a mess with Meth, Crack , Mary jane and lord knows what else.. Its aq messed up world but if a Parent can do what they are supposed to hopefully we can clear this mess up.....

To The Editor:
Five days after the tragedy at Sandy Hook school, I'm still trying to wrap my head around how something like this could've happened.
I see a post on Facebook that sends me into a tailspin. Really, the complaint is silly and I should've just ignored it, but isn't that what's happening in America these days?
We just ignore and hope it goes away. For years we've learned to accept the changes in our communities. No longer can we scold our children for their wrong doings for fear we will be attacked or turned into DFS. Gone are the days where there were harsh consequences for your behavior. Yes, we take their most prized possessions from them for a day or week, but do they really learn from this? What happened to face to face apologies?
Where your mother dragged you, albeit kicking and screaming, to your neighbor's house and made you say sorry and made you say it until you really meant it. We accept the fact that our children can no longer walk or ride their bikes to their friends' homes to play. Why is this? Why does it have to be that way? When did that stop?
Our own children cannot play outside by themselves because we are afraid they will be kidnapped. So we have them stay inside and watch TV and play video games, devoid of any or very little human contact until the time we think they can take care of themselves. We accept these things as fact, but do we need to? Are we powerless to change them?
My children never knew the joy of leaving their home at 7 in the morning, returning for lunch, leaving again and returning for supper and possibly leaving again until dark. The only thing my parents worried about was us falling in the creek or skinning our knee. So, are we as a society satisfied by the status quo, or can we change things? We changed them once, why can't we do it again?
My wish for the new year is simple, walk with your head up as you pass people on the street. Say hello or just smile. You never know whose life you affect by this simple act.
A young boy walks into his therapist's office. His doctor asks him how his day was. The young boy replied, with a smile on his face, today someone passed me on the way to school, they looked at me and smiled and said good day. The boy continues, what they didn't know was that I was on my way to kill myself, I just didn't think I could take it anymore. But that smile was real, and it made me feel wanted, so today, I decided I want to live!
The therapist, wiping a tear from her eye, looked at the boy and smiled and said, one good deed deserves another, now you go out and you smile at a stranger and say good day to them, because now you know how one simple gesture and kind act can save someone's life.
It's time to change the world. Smile. Change the world today!

Today I bought a Chip McCormic 10rd mag, and a mag follower wich I have not yet installed in eater of my mags.
I didnt have time to go back to the range yet. So I have been cycling rounds through my 1911 by hand. When cycling by hand, my 7rd is feeding fine (it may be a different story when I cycle rounds by firing)
The Chip McCormic10rd mag only feeds half way into the chamber. Sometimes I can press the slide forward to seat the round.
Has anyone else had problems with 10rd Chip McCormic mags. Or maybe the gun just needs breaking in?

Captain Jonathan Toews scored 3:19 into overtime as the Chicago Blackhawks skated to a 4-3 home victory over the St. Louis Blues on Wednesday in a battle of Central Division rivals.
Defenseman Nick Leddy collected a goal and an assist and Marian Hossa and Tomas Kopecky also tallied for Chicago (43-28-9), which remained tied with the Anaheim Ducks (44-30-5) for seventh place in the Western Conference standings. The Ducks cruised to a 6-2 victory over the Pacific Division champion San Jose Sharks on Wednesday.
Making his 25th consecutive start, Corey Crawford finished with 21 saves to improve to 3-0-1 in his brief career against the Blues.
Toews ended the contest by skating up the left wing and wristing a shot past Ty Conklin for his 32nd goal of the season. The tally was Toews' first point in five games.
With the Blues staked a 2-0 lead, Hossa put the Blackhawks on the scoreboard in controversial fashion just 7:52 into the second period. Patrick Sharp's centering feed caromed off Hossa's skate, traveled along the goal line before eventually being knocked over by the Blues. After a lengthy review, Hossa was credited with the goal since he did not distinctly kick the puck into the net.
After Kopecky and Leddy scored to give Chicago a 3-2 lead, Chris Stewart leveled the contest by splitting a pair of defenders and flicking the puck under the crossbar midway through the third period.
T.J. Oshie collected a goal and an assist and David Backes scored just 17 seconds into the contest for his 31st goal of the season and fifth in seven games.
Conklin turned aside 35 shots for St. Louis (37-30-11).

Is Justin Bieber's New Song About Taylor Swift?
JUSTIN BIEBER dropped a new song yesterday called "All Bad" . . . and it sounds like it's an attack on TAYLOR SWIFT, who's been critical of Justin since becoming friends with his ex SELENA GOMEZ.
The lyrics include, quote, "Oh you know females and how they run their mouths . . . They try to get at me / Behind your back / Tryin' to tell me that I'm just like the others / But I ain't all bad."
He also re-Tweeted a fan who said, quote, "I think Justin was shading Taylor Swift in #AllBad."

Finally, there's something Google and Microsoft can agree on: Our electronic privacy protections are in serious need of an overhaul. They, along with Intel, AOL, AT&T, the ACLU, and a dozen other household names, have formed the Digital Due Process coalition, aimed at urging Congress to modernize the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) -- the only thing keeping Johnny Law from pawing through your digital life.
The ECPA was passed into law in 1986. To put that in context, the first Notes From the Field columns appeared in print issues of InfoWorld that year, back when I was just a cub reporter. Ronald Reagan was still president, even if he may not have been aware of it at the time. The Web was still three years from being invented. The term "spam" still referred to canned luncheon meat, and a 300-baud modem represented a state-of-the-art Internet connection.
[ Fine-tune your network in two weeks -- for free! InfoWorld's Networking Boot Camp will help you double-check the fundamentals and show you how to optimize your infrastructure. The email classes start Monday, April 12, 2010. Sign up now! ]
Yet the ECPA is still the digital law of the land. It's a little like using statutes written for the horse and buggy era to govern the Autobahn.
The technological breakthroughs that have emerged since the ECPA was drafted to include: mass adoption of email, video- and photo-sharing services, social networking, blogs, microblogs, Web mail, cloud computing, smart phones, GPS/cell tower tracking, and location-based services, to name but a few.
(Google has put together a cute little video summarizing it all on its Official Blog. Watch it now before it gets overrun with the usual April Foolery tomorrow.)
Today, the photos you took with your Kodak Instamatic back in the day and stuffed into a box in your attic are more protected from government snoops than the ones you snapped with your cell phone and uploaded to Flickr yesterday. The letters you wrote back when people actually wrote letters are more protected than an email you sent last year. A document on your hard drive is less prone to surveillance than one you stored in the cloud. And the courts cannot seem to agree on a consistent way to treat any of this stuff.
Or as the Digital Due Process site puts it:
A single email is subject to multiple different legal standards in its lifecycle, from the moment it is being typed to the moment it is opened by the recipient to the time it is stored with the email service provider. To take another example, a document stored on a desktop computer is protected by the warrant requirement of the Fourth Amendment, but the ECPA says that the same document stored with a service provider may not be subject to the warrant requirement. ... A district court in Oregon recently opined that email is not covered by the constitutional protections, while the Ninth Circuit has held precisely the opposite. Last year, a panel of the Sixth Circuit first ruled that email was protected by the Constitution and then a larger panel of the court vacated the opinion.
Mind you, Google/Microsoft/et al don't want to impede law enforcement or keep them from going after the bad guys; they just want to make sure they get a warrant first, as well as clear direction from the courts as to what is and isn't kosher when it comes to digital surveillance.
Right now, a federal court is hearing a case in Philadelphia that could determine limits on the amount and type of location information the cops can obtain about you without a court order. Parties like the ACLU and the Electronic Frontier Foundation are trying to ensure that location info won't be given out without probable cause, so that law enforcement can't go on location "fishing expeditions" to round up, say, the names and cell phone numbers of everyone who was in a certain area at a certain time. A new, updated ECPA would hopefully make cases like that moot.
It's a good idea, and it's good to see industry rivals -- as well as conservative libertarians groups and folks like the ACLU -- working together on big issues that affect us all. They can always get back to clawing each others' eyes out tomorrow.
Do we need modern laws for our modern digital lifestyles? E-mail me: email@example.com. But try to be circumspect; you don't know who else might be reading it.

bucca buc·ca (bŭk'ə)
The cheek.
bucca subsequently became the sole FDNY member of the Joint Terrorism Task Force.
Up in the tower, bucca was joined by Battalion Chief Orio Palmer, who had managed to get a freight elevator to bring him part way.
bucca ignored what must have been excruciating pain as he made his way to the bedside of Police Officer Steven McDonald.
McDonald kept the image in his heart of bucca at his hospital bedside.
"I designed my own rehabilitation program—calisthenics, running and other exercises," bucca was quoted saying.
The Knockers or Knackers are mine-spirits, quite unconnected with bucca or bogles.

A bucca was the highest title of reproach that Puckinharn had in his vocabulary.

Augustus' anniversary
Yesterday was the 2000th anniversary of the death of the emperor Augustus, who died on 19 August AD 14 (which given the calendar shift between, of course, isnt exactly 2000 years -- but never mind). I had been hoping to go to a party and consume my first dormouse, but as it happens was too feeble... and too feeble to post about it on the day itself.
All in all, now that I catch up, the day was marked by rather little celebration in the media so far as I can see, There was a nice little piece about Augustus' jokes on the Today programme, and I believe they had done a feature the day before....you can always trust the Today programme to note the right classical dates . The jokes feature is at the very end of the programme here.
Otherwise things were rather muted. Most papers went for the monuments of Augustus that you could (or could not) see in Rome. There was, on one side, lamentation in the Guardian that there was so little opportunity to visit Augustus' Mausoleum, and what a dreadful state it was in anyway. On the other the Art Newspaper hailed the news that the cash had apparently been found for its restoration.
There were however some nice side glances at differences of ideology. Take, for example, what the Investors' Business Daily had to say . . .
. . . which was not a bad word. For them, Augustus was one of the world's greatest statesmen (aka captain of industry, one couldnt help thinking).
Augustus himself would have been delighted. "Few leaders in the history of the world can match the statesmanship or success of Caesar Augustus. Rome's first emperor rescued a nation in the throes of disorder, plus established an enduring polity that would shape the destiny of Western civilization for the next 1,500 years", they oozed.
I have to say the references here weren't exactly up to date. The ancient historians cited were Donald Dudley and Michael Grant (in their prime in the 1960s) and the crowning compliment came from Alfred North Whitehead (died 1947):
""I know of only two occasions when the people in power did what needed to be done about as well as you can imagine its being possible," said English philosopher and mathematician Alfred North Whitehead.The first such era, he said, was Rome under Caesar Augustus; the other, America's Revolutionary period."
Where was Sir Ronald Syme, I wondered, if we were going back that far. Syme had a rather more cynical view.
For a more Symean view, one had to turn to an excellent article in Wales Online, which did raise the nasty thought that Augustus was at best an ambivalent character, whose adept management of power and legacy might hold some lessons for Vladimir Putin. (Were the two very different? we were being asked.)
"If Vladimir Putin is enjoying a little August relaxation, he could do worse than spend a few moments pondering the legacy of this giant of history."
And, of course, the month of August is itself significant (and a giveaway that all might not be as glowing as the Investors' Business Daily imagines). Why is it called August? Well obviously because it was renamed in his honour, not after his death in commemoration, but during his lifetime. It was apparently voted by a grateful senate because so many of Augustus' successes had fallen in the month previously known as Sextilis.
Just how naive would you have to be to imagine it was a spontaneous act of gratitude on the senate's part?

A interesting interview I am amazed how often the word Absolutely is used by people who are being interviewed not only this Author but I would say 3/4 of the people that are interviewed

Why is it necessary to have loud background music behind good interviews? A case in point is the Kate Moss Interview on today's program. Sometimes the very loud music drowned out the two voices. And for what purpose? Certainly it doesn't enhance the opportunity to hear what is being said. If its to give some added drama to the story, then all the drama for me is in the irritation about the noisy low growl in the background.

Jane, thank you for mentioning this. It was a good interview, but the noise became so annoying, I just turned my radio off. Michael, your program is soo good, please do something regarding background music or more of your loyal fans will desert you.

I just had a day (well weekend,2 days XD ) where I didn't care about design and sales and the fact that my products/art wont get appreciated as I wanted them to be, and it was awesome! It felt good to just let go of the thought that stress you out, and just get in touch with your inner monkey XD The bad thing is that there were some important things to do but I don't care,I have 3 more hours from this last day of don't care about a thing weekend .
Just want to spreed the idea that you need to do this from time to time.
yep, it's good to let it go from time to time.
Having times where you shut down from work is definitely one of the essentials in order to "survive".
I also try to use every other Sunday for that.
Shutting down from work is also essential for new creative ideas t come into your headspace. That's what i find anyway. At least one 'off' day a week.
man i checked your profile its very intriguing , don't take it personal if there is an item envato don't like just put aside for a different customer you need to have some unpublished gems aside
It's very good idea to take a break or sabbatical from your work and duties. That way you'll last longer, get your batteries recharged to be fresher for the duties you put aside, plus your brain will get in better shape and you might actually came up with new creative ideas
I realized the other day I've been working so hard at making music for a living, that I am no longer listening and playing music for fun. I'm taking the the rest of the week off to get back in touch with that.

Tina Fey Forced to Pay New York State Workers' Compensation Board $79,000
Forced to pay a hefty sum to the state of New York, Tina Fey has been hit with a $79,000 judgment, filed by New York State officials, for operating without workers' compensation insurance.
The Workers' Compensation Board filed the claim against the comedian last week in State Supreme Court in Manhattan for "failure to Carry Workers' Comp Ins" from November 2012 until just last month.
The judgment is reportedly signed by the 43-year-old, while her production company, Little Stranger Inc., which produced NBC comedy, "30 Rock," is not represented.
How state officials arrived at the $79,000 figure, the legal documents do not say; however it represents "Awards and Penalties" levied against Tina for "having defaulted in payment thereof." Tina also reportedly appealed the fine earlier, but still owes the money.

Public Policy News You Can Use – June 17
June 17, 2009
Congress Begins to Roll Out Health Care Reform Proposals
Health Care reform is expected to be at the forefront of the congressional schedule this summer. President Obama and Democrat leaders in the House and Senate have made re-tooling our nation's health care system a priority beginning on the campaign trail for the November 2008 elections. Five committees in total, two in the Senate and three in the House, have been developing health care proposals since this spring. The month of June has been earmarked by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reed (D-NV) to begin the roll out of the proposals, with mark ups in committee and efforts to combine the various proposals to ensure a bill can reach the House and Senate floor for a vote before the August recess. President Obama has played a significant role in shaping the debate on the issue by creating two different Offices of Health Reform, one in the Department of Health and Human Services and the other in the White House, to work closely with congressional leaders and guide the drafting of legislation. He has also been very vocal about the importance of an overhaul at this time in town hall meetings and radio addresses and has laid out a deadline for congress to accomplish the task by the fall.
As the committees begin to release language they have been working on throughout the spring, some do not share the optimism of the President and others that health care reform is feasible. Former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-SD), and President Obama's first nomination to be the Secretary of HHS, has spoken publicly that health care reform has a 50-50 chance at best. There have been many sticking point issues that have caused the initially unified conversation to deteriorate to become quite partisan. The most controversial provision is a proposed public insurance plan that proponents say would compete with private insurance to keep the costs low, but others fear this will lead to a single government run program, seen in Canada and many European countries. Senate Republicans say a public option is a non-starter though, spurring on the latest discussion of a co-op system for health insurance that could still hold private insurers accountable. Other stumbling blocks may include mandates for employers and employees and how a new system would be paid for. The Senate Finance Committee is looking at taxing at least a portion of employer sponsored insurance benefits, as well as, a sin tax on alcohol and other sugar-sweetened beverages to raise the funds.
The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee released portions of their proposal last week and are expected to begin a two week mark up of the bill beginning on June 17. The Senate Finance Committee is expected to release portions of their proposal by June 19 with a mark up beginning June 23 and lasting the week. The House Committees released a "tri-committee" general outline of a bill last week and are expected to begin considering a bill in late June or early July. The health care debate is just beginning and CUPA-HR will continue to update members as things unfold in the coming months.
E-Verify Federal Contractor Rule Delayed Until September
Federal Acquisitions Regulatory Councils delayed yet again the effective date for a final rule that would require federal contractors and subcontractors use E-Verify, a federal government's system for electronically verifying work authorization. The rule would require contractors use the E-Verify system in addition to the existing I-9 requirements. The FAR Councils published the notice extending the rule's June 30 effective date to September 8, in the June 5, 2009 Federal Register. This is the fourth delay announced by the FAR Councils. Reasons cited for postponing the rule have included on-going litigation challenging the rule and the review of a new Administration. The delay angered a group of 51 Republican House members who sent a letter to the President demanding he move forward with rule . Absent congressional action, E-Verify will expire on September 30. Some speculate the Administration may be delaying moving forward with the rule until it solidifies it broader position on E-Verify re-authorization and comprehensive immigration reform. The President recently expressed a desire to see congress begin addressing immigration reform. To initiate the conversation, the White House is expected to hold an Immigration Summit with Democrat and Republican lawmakers and administration officials later in June. The prognosis of the federal contractor rule actually taking effect this time may depend in large part on the immigration and E-Verify discussions lead by the White House in the coming months, in addition to the resolution of the lawsuit. In light of the delay, any federal contracts awarded prior to September 8 will not contain the new E-Verify requirements. CUPA-HR will continue to monitor the status of this rule and the larger immigration debate and provide members with updates.
House Passes Federal Government Paid Sick Leave Bill
On June 4, 2009, the House of Representatives passed a bill to provide four weeks of paid parental leave to federal employees after the birth or adoption of a child. H.R. 626, the "Federal Employees Paid Parental Leave Act," was approved by a vote of 258 to 154. The bill, which was introduced by Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), would also permit the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to increase via regulation the four weeks of paid leave to up to eight weeks of paid leave. In addition, the bill would also allow federal employees to use paid accrued sick or annual leave after the birth or adoption of a child rather than the 12 weeks of unpaid Family and Medical Act (FMLA). The legislation would change the Congressional Accountability Act, which currently gives federal agencies the option to allow the substitution of paid leave for unpaid FMLA leave but does not make it a requirement. The House approved an amendment that would allow federal employees that are called to active duty with the National Guard or Reserve to continue to accrue parental leave benefits while serving on active duty.
President Obama was a co-sponsor of the Senate version of the bill in the last congress and has again expressed support for the goal of the legislation. However, the White House has not wholly endorsed the bill, issuing a statement of administration policy on the bill on June 3 stating that the Administration is reviewing current Federal leave policies and "looks forward to working with Congress to refine the details of the legislation." A Senate companion bill was introduced by Sen. Jim Webb (D-VA) on March 20 that currently has 16 senators signed on as co-sponsors.
The passage of the bill in the House demonstrates a clear interest of Congress to continue to work on these issues. CUPA-HR expects so see further legislative action in this congress on leave and work flexibility issues.
House Holds Hearing on Paid Sick Leave Bill
On June 11, Congress held its first hearing on the Healthy Families Act, (HFA - H.R. 2460), a bill that would require employers with 15 or more employees to provide paid sick leave. The HFA would allow employees to earn one hour of sick leave for every 30 hours worked, to a maximum of 56 hour per year. While the leave would carry over from one year to the next, employers would not be required to allow employees to accrue more than 56 hours at a time. Employees would begin earning the leave on their first day and would be eligible to use the leave after working for 60 days. Also, the bill would allow part-time workers to earn paid sick leave at the same rate – 1 hour of leave for 30 hours worked.
Rep. Lynn Woolsey chaired the House Education and Labor Subcommittee hearing with 6 witnesses testifying if favor of the bill, including 2 members of Congress, and 2 witnesses opposed to the bill. China Miller Gorman, Chief Operating Officer for the Society for Human Resource Managers, testified that companies should be able to decide for themselves on how to establish and implement paid leave programs and that a one-size fits all mandate, like the Healthy Families Act, would not work. Ranking Member Rep. Tom Price, M.D. (R-GA) echoed those concerns and said the bill "represents the intrusion of the federal government into the benefits and policies of millions of companies, large and small." The bill was re-introduced this Congress by Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) on May 18 and in the Senate by Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) on May 21. It is unclear how quickly Congress will move the bill through the legislative process, considering the busy schedule they face on with many high profile issues being considered this summer. CUPA-HR will continue to monitor the issue closely.
NLRB Regional Director Rules That Medical Interns Are Employees
On May 22, 2009, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Region 2 Director, Celeste Mattina, ruled that interns and residents at the St. Barnabas Hospital in the Bronx, NY are entitled to organize stating that they are employees, not students, so they are covered by the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). A Service Employees International Union affiliate, the Committee of Interns and Residents Local 1957, filed an NLRB petition in January requesting St. Barnabas recognize the union, after gathering signatures from 90 percent of the interns and residents. The hospital argued that the NLRB's 1999 Boston Medical Center decision, finding interns and residents to be employees, did not apply to their hospital since they receive federal funding under the Pension Funding Equity Act of 2004 for "graduate medical education." St. Barnabas said according to the Act "any individual who seeks to be admitted to a graduate medical education program" would be classified as a student. Mattina disagreed and ordered an election to be held for the 280 interns and residents within 30 days.
Congress continues to look at the issue of students versus employees in organizing drives, as well, with consideration of the Teaching and Research Assistant Collective Bargaining Rights Act introduced in March and April in the House and Senate. The bill would reverse the NLRB's July 2004 decision in Brown University and amend the NLRA giving teaching and research assistants at private colleges and universities the right to vote on union representation and collectively bargain over terms and conditions of their employment. The Brown University decision stated that TA's are students and can not organize, even though they are compensated. Neither the House nor the Senate has acted on the legislation yet this congress. President Obama was a co-sponsor of this bill in the last congress so an Obama NLRB may seek to overturn the Brown University decision if congress does not act on the measure. CUPA-HR will continue to closely monitor the issue in congress and with the NLRB.

STATEMENTS ON INTRODUCED BILLS AND JOINT RESOLUTIONS -- (Senate - July 13, 2009)
By Mr. KERRY:
S. 1444. A bill to amend title 38, United States Code, to clarify the meaning of ``combat with the enemy'' for purposes of service-connection of disabilities; to the Committee on Veterans' Affairs.
Mr. KERRY. Mr. President, in order to reduce a 400,000 case backlog in disability claims, I am introducing legislation to make it easier for our veterans to enroll in Department of Veteran Affairs', VA, disability programs. Specifically, the Compensation Owed for Mental Health Based on Activities in Theater Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Act or COMBAT PTSD Act will change the definition of ``combat with the enemy'' so veterans can more easily be enrolled in PTSD programs.
It has become apparent that the nature of modern warfare is vastly different than it was in previous generations. In the past veterans were confronted with an identifiable enemy, on a battlefield that was much more easily discernible. This is no longer the case forcing our military to adapt to the changes of the battlefield. They have done so admirably--their ability to shift from a force designed to deliver quick decisive blows to a full spectrum force has been extremely impressive. Every American can agree that the men and women in uniform today deserve nothing but the best resources available to them.
Unfortunately, when our veterans return home they too often find a wait of approximately six months for their claims to the VA to be filed. This is unacceptable. It most certainly does not reflect the level of sacrifice and commitment that they have given to this nation. I know we can do better.
During previous conflicts the definition of ``combat with the enemy'' was simply determined by an individual's appearance on the front lines. However, today's battlefields may not include a front line as they have in past conflicts. We are using a 20th century model to diagnose and treat individuals returning from a 21st century conflict.
My legislation reflects these changes in conflict to ensure that our men and women in the military gain access to VA programs as soon as possible. It changes the VA's definition of ``combat with the enemy'' to include those that have served in a theater of operations, or in combat against a hostile force during a period of hostilities. This will more accurately reflect the current face of conflict.
President Obama's recent increase in the number of VA claim processors is certainly a good start, but those of us in Congress need to do our part to support this effort. With nearly 400,000 claims unprocessed it is time that we expedite this process. The men and women who have served honorably in our Nation's military who need our help cannot return to a bureaucratic maze.
I ask all my colleagues to support this legislation.
By Mr. KERRY (for himself and Mr. Lugar) (by request):
S.J. Res. 18. A joint resolution relating to the approval of the proposed agreement for nuclear cooperation between the United States and the United Arab Emirates; to the Committee on Foreign Relations for not to exceed 45 days pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 2159.
Mr. KERRY. Mr. President, today Senator Lugar and I introduce, by request, a joint resolution of approval of the proposed agreement for peaceful nuclear cooperation between the United States and the United Arab Emirates, which the President transmitted to Congress on May 21, 2009, pursuant to section 123b. and 123d. of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended. Pursuant to Section 130i.(2) of that Act, the majority and minority leaders have designated Senator Lugar and me to introduce this joint resolution.

Made in China porcelain for royal wedding
It employs more than 8,000 and is known for producing high-end table and dining ware for export to Europe, the United States and Southeast Asia. Qiu said a special high-fire glazing technique is being used to manufacture the wedding porcelain, with the plates and mugs being set at temperatures of more than 1600 degrees C in the kilns.
This will ensure the longevity of the china, a theme the company used in its winning bid for the order.
"As long as this plate is not broken or smashed up, it will never change," Qiu added.
"This fits into our theme for everlasting love and thus with this we give our blessings to the prince and his future wife, as well as to the wedding."
The company is set to finish the production of the porcelain by the middle of January and its workers are pleased by the publicity generated by the order.
"When we knew about this, we felt very happy and very proud," said 31-year-old worker He Kun.
Besides this official order, other Chinese manufacturers have already been cashing in on the royal wedding as they churn out tens of thousands of replica royal engagement rings as well as other imitation wedding memoriabilia that are in demand globally ahead of the April 29 wedding.

Banzai Surf Schoolbased on 0 reviews (review)
Camp Directors - Update this ListingCamp Location: CA-1 S, Newland St., Huntington Beach, California, 92646, United States
Ages: 10-60
Gender: Male and Female
Camp type:Day
Session dates: June 7-August 27
Cost (range): $180
Contact Person: Jaz
Phone: (714) 499-3315
Mailing Address:
United States
Camp Website
Camp's Description
I have experience with Corky Carroll's Surf School and Banzai Surf School. I can honestly say that Banzai tops Corky Carroll's Surf School by far. Both schools spend time teaching you the basics and water safety. The difference here is that Jaz (Banzai Surf School) does this in a calm, non threatening way.
Banzai Summer Surf Camp package costs $35 more than Corky Carroll's. However, Corky Carroll's is so much over booked with kids that in a 1/2 day surf camp (3 hours), the students have a 1 hour break. During this 1 hour break, you may go out for "free surfing" if there are any boards available. If you are a beginner and your child is rather young (not 15 years old +), the child will only get a 2 hour instruction.
Now, doing the math, the cost per hour of surf instructions (on the board) per surf "camp" would be as follows:
Corky Carroll's Surf Camp at $145 for 15 hours minus 5 hours of laying in the sand doing nothing or talking about some more safety that they received on the first day of surf camp totals $14.50 per surf instructions in the water and on the board.
Banzai Surf Camp at $180 for 15 hours totals $12.00 per surf instructions in the water and on the board.
While I believe that Corky Carroll's Surf Camp could be a quality lesson for you and the kids, I much more strongly believe that the better quality lessons and time with the instructor is with Banzai Surf Camp for the money.
Jaz and/or his team of instructors will be with you the entire time of the lesson. You are encouraged to try to stand on the board the first day. However, if you don't you will most likely be standing on the board and taking a wave into shore by the second or third day of camp.
Jaz and his instructors do everything possible to make the lesson fun and memorable for the students. My basketball playing, suburb, hoity toity, and stuborn son reluctantly went to the Banzai Surf Camp in Huntington Beach, CA and came out every day saying that he now has a new hobby that he absolutely loves and is begging for more lessons. Of course, that means that he is now researching the top name brand and most expensive surf gear (the hoity toity, keeping up with the Jones' side of him). :-(
I believe that my son's reaction to Jaz and his instructors is due to Jaz's love of the sport, the ocean, and the respect of the creatures that live in it. I believe it is also due to Jaz's enjoyment of teaching his own children to surf over the years and watching them grow to be fine adults who, like Jaz, appreciate and respect the ocean and surfing.
When leaving your child or your own fate in the hands of a surf instructor, I highly advise that you do your research and look for someone like Jaz who genuinely loves what he does and is not in it purely as a numbers game and business. You will be much more safe in an ocean that has predators and where you can drown if you are with someone like Jaz and his instructors who truely love what they do. A school that is full of kids (50 to 100 at a time) is NOT always safe. DO YOUR HOMEWORK.

Psychoanalytic perspectives on substance use and antisocial personality disorder
King, R., O'Brien, T., & Giacomantonio, S.G. (2011) Psychoanalytic perspectives on substance use and antisocial personality disorder. Australian Psychologist, 40(2), pp. 137-145.
Psychoanalysis and related psychodynamic psychotherapies have historically had a limited engagement with substance use and antisocial personality disorders. This in part reflects an early preoccupation with 'transference neuroses' and in part reflects later de-emphasis of diagnosis and focus on therapeutic process. Nonetheless, psychoanalytic perspectives can usefully inform thinking about approaches to treatment of such disorders and there are psychoanalytic constructs that have specific relevance to their treatment. This paper reviews some prominent strands of psychoanalytic thinking as they pertain to the treatment of substance abuse and antisocial personality disorders. It is argued that, while Freudian formulations lead to a primarily pessimistic view of the prospect of treatment of such disorders, both the British object relations and the North American self psychology traditions suggest potentially productive approaches. Finally the limited empirical evidence from brief psychodynamically informed treatments of substance use disorders is reviewed. It is concluded that such treatments are not demonstrably effective but that, since no form of psychotherapy has established high efficacy with substance use disorders, brief psychdynamic therapies are not necessarily of lesser value than other treatments and may have specific value for particular individuals and in particular treatment contexts.

Last week Microsoft unveiled the first of its .Net technology packages, called " HailStorm. " Essentially it's a directory-enabled, XML-designed method of keeping users' personal information available throughout a network, so that it's available wherever and whenever its needed.
As Microsoft defined it:
" HailStorm is designed to place individuals at the center of their computing experience and take control over the technology in their lives and better protect the privacy of their personal information. HailStorm services will allow unprecedented collaboration and integration between the users' devices, their software and their personal data. With HailStorm, users will have even greater and more specific control over what people, businesses and technologies have access to their personal information. "
Essentially, though, what Microsoft is talking about is directory-enabling applications and services -- having the apps and services read preferences, options and personal information from a central directory.
But what's really fascinating is that the entire presentation kicking off HailStorm was done without the word " directory " being used! Microsoft Passport was mentioned (and that's a directory of sorts), and eventually Passport might be subsumed into Active Directory (just as Microsoft Metadirectory Services might), but not yet.
Someday Microsoft will realize the power of the directory and just how much Active Directory can do to further the aim of " Windows Everywhere, " but evidently that day hasn't come just yet.
This story, "A HailStorm is coming " was originally published by Network World.

Did I just see Bailey on deck
Reds to use three starting pitchers in game one.
Stubbs singles to left
it's the end of the world. Stubbs singles!
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
Why is Homer Bailey in the on deck circle?
"Baseball players are smarter than football players. How often do you see a baseball team penalized for too many men on the field?" ~ Jim Bouton
Stubbs with a solid single.
Stubbs hits!! NOW I've got a great feeling about this game. :-)
Stubbs NLDS MVP

best Online Games
Online Games have won more and more popularity within the last few years. Those games could be
played no longer just on personal computers but due to Smartphones can be opened at any time
on each mobile phone. Even on tablet computers Online Games are used more often. The great
advantages here in comparance with the mobile phone are that the screen is simply larger and has
Advantages of Online Games
The advantages of Online Games are obvious. You don't have to go to any shop to purchase such a
game but with some mouse clicks you can upload the game to your personal computer or mobile
phone. Further most of the Online Games are free of charge whereas you don't have to pay any
Cent for this fun. best Games Online exhibit one more advantage because they don't have to be installed
circular by a installation disc to the personal computer and can just be played directly through the
internet browser.
Also the variety of games pushes the popularity permanently to the top. As a matter of fact there is
no genre which can't be found. If Jump and Run, Adventure or Logical – at Online Games each kind
of taste is supported. Even older classics come up again in this type of Games. What shops don't
lead any longer in their product range but has been pleasantly played could be often found at Online
Even Multiplayer and Ego shooter are available at Online Games. At an Ego shooter you have to fight
to each level by yourself whereas at a Multiplayer you federate with other players from all over the
world to achieve one common mission. This is the appeal of Online Games to many users. It is not
sufficient any longer to breaking up alone to search for achievements but the community is highly
appreciated by many gamers. Cause limits are not setted at the Online Games. So whatever if a
martial mission in the new era or an assault within the land of elves shall be joined – for each fantasy
the suitable Online Game is available.
Many Online Games need a such called Flash Player just to get the game started. But don't worry
because even if you can't show a Flash Player on your personal computer you don't have to disclaim
to Online Games. The variety maybe not such various as for Games with Flash Player but you can
also enjoy the Online Games.
At Multiplayer Games people from all over the world cannot just appear together for a game
interaction but can also communicate together. Therefore the purchasing of personal hardware such
as headphones is often required. Who can disclaim to this Entertainment could even play Multiplayer
Games where no communication via headphone is needed.
Online Games find more and more echoes. It is simply much more easier when no disc has to be
started to open a game. Just starting the personal computer and direct gaming through the own
user account. There is one thing most Online Games have in common. At most Online Games there
has to be done a registration to play the full version. Sample versions are often possible without
registrations but who wants to use all levels and modes of Online Games won't get around creating
an account. For such accounts it is not necessary to announce any data of privacy but it is often more
than enough just to advise an username and an email address. Through advising of the email address
most times the account is just released and the user always gets fresh news around his Online Game.
More and more people are using Online Games and prefer them compared to conventional PC
games. The reasons are very numerous. Who don't wants to enjoy a width palette of games and has
got access to the same any time. And who don´t wants to grub through the product range and tries
out if the Online Game assures or not? Anyhow at an Online Game the game can be erased when
not assuring without having paid for it. Online Games will be the future for a long time as nothing is

Nokia-Alcatel deal may force Ericsson to expand fixed line range
STOCKHOLM, April 15 (Reuters) - Sweden's Ericsson , the world's biggest maker of mobile telecoms equipment, will probably have to expand its range of fixed line products to defend its turf following Nokia's purchase of Alcatel-Lucent.
As the Finnish and French firms combine, Ericsson will face a much stronger competitor with a broader product offering, bigger sales and R&D clout than itself. It may therefore respond by buying companies to bring in fixed line technologies.
"Global operators have all made the shift to converge fixed and mobile, and now equipment makers will have to follow suit," Alcatel-Lucent Chief Executive Michael Combes said on Wednesday, adding that he expected Ericsson to reexamine its product line to beef up its fixed broadband business.
Ericsson could aim to buy Ciena, with which it cooperates already, to boost its position in optical networking, or fellow U.S. group Juniper, to expand in Internet routing, Combes said.
Ericsson has made some inroads into fixed products before. One of its biggest acquisitions in the past decade was the 2005 deal to buy most of Marconi, including the firm's optical networking business, for around $2.1 billion.
It also entered into a partnership last year to sell Ciena's optical and Internet Protocol (IP) gear, but analysts said Nokia's purchase would force Ericsson to speed up its efforts as mobile and fixed communications increasingly converge.
Bernstein analysts said the deal would create a new top equipment seller but Ericsson could place itself ahead of Nokia and China's Huawei by buying the two U.S. firms.
"If Ericsson wanted to restore the old order and avoid being marginalised over a long period of time by two players with completely credible mobile capabilities and much stronger IP routing and optical ones, the natural route for Ericsson would be to acquire Juniper and Ciena," Bernstein said in a note.
Ericsson declined to comment on Wednesday but Chief Executive Hans Vestberg said at its shareholders' meeting on Tuesday that he didn't immediately see the deal as meaning his firm would have to change its strategy. Continued...

Daniel Nguyen Named Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholar
April 28, 2011
USC junior Daniel Nguyen has been selected among several standout student-athletes around the nation as an Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholar. The awards, established by the magazine Diverse: Issues in Higher Education, has Nguyen tabbed as a Team Finalist for men's tennis, honoring the junior for his efforts as a back-to-back NCAA team champion with the Trojans as well as his accomplishments in the classroom and within the community.
A communications major with a 3.41 GPA, Nguyen is currently playing in the Pac-10 Championships in Ojai, Calif. This season, he reached singles final of 2010 ITA Southwest Regional Championship and helped lead the Trojans to an undefeated finish in the Pac-10. Last year, he was named to 2010 All-Pac-10 Second Team and was selected as the 2010 NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player, notching the match-clinching singles win in the NCAA Championship match and also tallying four other singles wins during the NCAA Tournament. That year, Nguyen also was named to NCAA All-Tournament Team for No. 4 singles and No. 2 doubles with JT Sundling. During the summer, he was picked as a member of the USTA Summer Collegiate Team, and also was a 2009 NCAA All-Tournament Team selection for No. 6 singles.
Within the community, Nguyen has been active in JEP (Joint Educational Project) as a mentor to students at a local high school. He taught an 8-week Crisis of a Planet class to 9th graders and an 8-week exercise science class to 3rd graders. Also active in USC's Trojan Athletic Senate, Nguyen has also picked up academic honors with his 2010 Pac-10 All-Academic Second Team award.
Diverse: Issues In Higher Education established the Sports Scholars Awards to honor undergraduate students of color who have made achieving both academically and athletically a winning combination. Inspired by tennis legend Arthur Ashe Jr.'s commitment to education as well as his love for the game of tennis, all colleges and universities in the country are eligible to participate in this annual awards program by nominating their outstanding sports scholars. In addition to their athletic ability, Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholars must exhibit academic excellence and community activism. To be included, students have to compete in an intercollegiate sport, maintain a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.2 and be active on their campuses or in their communities.
The current issue of Diverse features student-athletes who are charging ahead with academics and athletics. Two of these scholar-athletes -- San Jose State University gymnast Shanice Howard and North Carolina State University football player Russell Wilson -- were selected as Sports Scholars of the Year for best exemplifying the standards of scholarship, athleticism and humanitarianism. Diverse honors Arthur Ashe Jr. By recognizing these student-athletes and salutes Shanice, Russell and all of the 2011 Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholars.

OK, I have about a $1,000 budget for some extra guns.
I ran across today a Sig 1911 compact (4.25'') with a duotone finish and crimson trace grips...its lightly used and priced at $895, I think thats a a decent buy yes?
But, the cheapskate in me screams in my ear and says buy the cheaper Rock Island, for this money I could buy full size RI and a compact RI or ATI compact.
I hadn't seen much about the ATI guns, they are the same as the Ri's but don't have the lifetime warranty right?
or should I buy a fancy pants Kimber or the Sig and shut my piehole.

About 7 years ago we had to put down our bull-mastiff that had been a rescued part of our family for about five years. She loved us more than anything, and we her. She was terrified of people in general, and hated a vet more than anything else.
She was completely blind, and every time she moved her hips popped- getting up, laying down, and walking- so, we had to. We have her a HUGE ham bone from dinner the day before, laid with her for a couple hours, made her as happy as we possibly could.
Then we took her out back, and continued petting, and speaking to her as lovingly as possible. As much as it hurt, we used two shots- the first severed her spine, so she felt nothing, and the second to stop her heart. Nothing hurt more than having to do that- but, it ended her suffering with her loved ones around her, and she never knew what happened.
I understand exactly what you mean, and I'm sorry that you had to go through it. Just know, and always remember, that your beloved Frisco is not suffering anymore, and is most likely chasing some small furry rodent around in a grassy field somewhere under a bright blue sky.

Electric Box height
What height does every one prefer to set their switch boxes and recep boxes?
16" to center on resi recepts and 48" to center on switches
If ADA rules are applicable, there are requirements for height and accessibility.
Receptacles are usually set at "hammer handle" height to the bottom of the box. :wink: This can be anywhere from 12-16 inches up, depending on your particular hammer. Be sure to use similar hammers on the same job, or else you can get inconsistent results. :whistling2:
I prefer them to be higher than lower, since as you age (and everybody does), it may become a problem bending over to reach those outlets as your back stiffens up.
I usually place switch and counter-top outlets at 44" to the bottom, making them all consistent. Others prefer to place switches higher, but that is an individual choice.
Finally, things like thermostats are usually placed higher, and we install them at 54" to the bottom.
But if you have short folks involved, you can put `em at a lower height ...
All measurement are to the top of the box for me since I tent to use the same type of boxes. If an oddball is thrown in I use the measurement to the top device hole.
16" std recep
48" switches, kitchen counter recep, garage and unfinished basement recep
44" (or 48") bath vanity recep
On renovations or additions I match the existing.
Thanks every one for your input and help
My Estwing hammer below a 1GNO and 48" to the top of most boxes. Flooring changes will also change the height of the box (mud, tiles, carpet, padding, etc..). 60" for t-stats, wall mount phone jacks (just about obsolete), and refer outlets.
