PAWTUCKET, R.I. (AP) — A former Pawtucket police officer who resigned after being charged in a domestic violence case has been charged with raping and trying to strangle another girlfriend.
The Providence Journal reports that Stephen Ricco is being held without bail after a Pawtucket woman accused him of attacking, raping and biting her on Thanksgiving at his apartment in North Smithfield.
Ricco was arraigned Friday on felony domestic violence charges of rape and strangling and other changes. An affidavit says Ricco refused numerous requests by the woman to take her home. An argument ensued, turning violent.
His lawyer didn't return a call from the newspaper and a phone at his office went unanswered Wednesday morning.
In the earlier case, Ricco was sentenced to anger management counseling and community service. An assault charge was dismissed.

Facilitating Moral Development in Beginning College Students
Academic skill development remains important to beginning college students, but in these days of terrorist attacks, ethnic strife and campus-based shootings, is it enough? This session describes an innovative pedagogical activity in Unity College's first-year seminar that integrates instruction in critical thinking with moral development and respect for diverse positions on controversial issues.
Students are assigned to teams of four and required to research a controversial topic and lead the rest of the class in a discussion that explores multiple sides of the issue. Topics are selected to ensure that diverse perspectives are uncovered, including firearms on campus, immigration policies, gay marriage and privacy rights under the war on terror.
The entire class is given four articles to read in preparation for the discussion, and the presenters are expected to research additional articles on their own. In class, the presenters cover diverse positions on the issue, grounded in published articles. Each member of the group may state his or her personal opinion, but only after a balanced presentation of the different perspectives.
Following the presentation, the discussion is opened up to the rest of the class. Presenters then become responsible for managing the wider discussion, which includes trying to ensure that opinions are grounded in the readings and that the discourse remains respectful.
The content encourages students to examine their own value systems – the primary vehicle for continuing moral development in young adults. It also involves examining positions that are quite new to them – a foundational principle of higher education. Finally, it is empowering in the sense that students experience support and respect for their positions, provided they are thoughtful and credible.
The activity, originally designed by colleague Dr. Aimee Phillippi, may in some small way help prepare students for their role as thoughtful, moral citizens of a changing and challenging world.

A premature infant's body is not able to maintain body
heat. It's important to prevent hypothermia, which is a loss of body heat that can be dangerous. So the
infant is kept warm on a heated bed. This may be inside a draft-free enclosure
(isolette or incubator) or under a radiant heater.
As the infant's
nervous system, skin, and metabolism mature, the
infant is less likely to get hypothermia. At about 34 weeks'
gestation, a
premature infant usually can be moved into an open

I want to share my life to provide for her and help her meet her needs to make her life happy. I'm the kind of guy who is patient, gentle, passionate, and ready to please.
I occasionally eat Mexican, Chinese, Italian, and soul food and willing to expand my knowledge of new foods. I enjoy movies science fiction, dramas, and mysteries, thrillers, concert, plays like the (Taming of the shrew) by Shakespeare is my favorite play. Some of my television shows are Fraser, Jerry Seinfeld, Bonanza, two and half men, C.S.I, leverage, Bones, and law and order kind of guy.
I would like to try some new activity in my life like jumping out of a air plane, camping in a national park, panning for gold in Alaska, take a elevator to the top of the Eiffel Tower with the woman I love.
I'm a pushover for a woman with an accent. A woman who has a smile that can charm a cobra but down to earth, who is sophisticated, and young at heart. She has an inquisitive mindset, funny, and smell of a new beauty every day.
Life lessons have matured me to be loyal, trustworthy, sensitive, confident and humble to love someone without the jealousies and insecurities in a relationship. I understand that one must be their self to be happy and I am not here to change no one and no one to change me. But as a couple we can grow into one.
I know how to compromise in being a 21st century man and I'm not intimidated by a woman's intelligence, independence, or profession. I know what I want and that is to love my wife to be like there is no tomorrow and for her to love me for the simple man that I am.
I do not like to argue and be angry life is too short. I prefer to communicate and talk things out and I know how to admit when I'm wrong and if I do not know something I would ask for her help. There is still room for me to mature and develop into a knowledgeable and wise person as I grow older
in life because I am not perfect.
I thank God for changing my ways helping me to grow up and to have a warm sincere heart sensitive to the needs of people.
But if there ever come a times when I need encouragement this special woman will know how to rekindle the fire to motivate me by being the compass of our future and dream. Because two is better than one when dealing with human instincts, strengths and weaknesses in making decisions.
Working with the older generation being conscious of their needs.

|Home > After Saddam > Article
|Friday June 13, 2003
US Secretary of State Colin Powell said he was unaware of any US campaign to tarnish the reputation of Hans Blix and maintained he had great respect for the outgoing chief UN weapons inspector.
"No smear campaign that I'm aware of," Mr Powell said of charges levelled by Dr Blix that some US officials had set out to undermine him, especially in the months leading up to the invasion of Iraq on March 20.
"I have high regard for Dr Blix," Mr Powell told reporters after a working lunch with UN chief Kofi Annan at the State Department on Wednesday, adding that US President George Bush shared his opinion.
"I worked very closely with Dr Blix over the last eight or nine months and I know that the President had confidence in him, as well," he said. "What we're doing now is looking forward, not looking backward."
Dr Blix will retire after more than three years as chairman of the UN Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission (UNMOVIC) on June 30 and in an interview published on Wednesday lashed out at his critics in Washington.
"I have my detractors in Washington," he told the London daily The Guardian. "There are bastards who spread things around, of course, who planted nasty things in the media. Not that I cared very much."
In the months leading up to the Iraq war, Dr Blix, to the mounting frustration of Pentagon officials, said repeatedly that his inspectors had found no evidence that Iraq had resumed production of banned weapons - Washington's primary justification for the conflict.
After his reports to the UN Security Council, anonymous US officials were often quoted in the press as questioning his ability.
Standing alongside Mr Powell at the State Department, Mr Annan stood by Dr Blix but declined to comment on his charges other than that he had seen unfair news reports about him.
"As to the smear campaign, I can't really get into it, except to say that I've seen some articles in the press which I've considered unfair given the work that he has done," Mr Annan said.
But he had nothing but praise for the outgoing chief inspector.
"Let me say that Blix is a very professional person and a very honest person," he said. "He did a very good job, and we had universal respect for his professionalism and his efforts.
"I'm sorry to see him leave at the end of the year. He is a very good public servant and I'm sure he's going to remain engaged and we haven't heard the last of him."

NORWALK, Conn (Jan. 16)
The objections of a suburban property owners association to the establishment of a community and recreation facility on an estate bought here by the Norwalk Jewish Center have given rise to charges of anti-Semitism and denials. The matter will be aired in court next week.
An unnamed official of the center has called the move to bar the center "outright discrimination." Other members of the group agree with him. However, the Shorehaven Association, which initiated the suit to prevent use of the $150,000 estate by the Jewish center, denied the charges. A spokesman asserted the attitude of the homeowners would be the same if "the YMCA or any other organization" wanted to use the estate for such purposes. Another association member said "we have absolutely nothing against the Norwalk Jewish Center."
The center, which has already sold its former headquarters in the downtown area of Norwalk, plans to build a banquet hall seating 1,000 a parking lot for 500 cars, a baseball field, tennis courts, indoor pool and gymnasium on the property.

To tell you the truth, I haven't looked at even one blog in months. It's been a rough year.
After one year of battling cancer, Mom passed away on August 5th. I flew to PA and arrived at the hospital just one hour before she took her last breath. They say she was waiting for me. I don't know but if that's true, I'm glad she did! She was 70 years old.
My Aunt Laurie was with us when Mom passed and was a tremendous support. Her husband, who travels a lot because of his job made time to be there for Mom's service. Little did either of them know that just over a month later, he would also pass away and Laurie would be attending yet another funeral service...this time of her husbands. He was in Wisconsin on business and was found laying in the hall of the hotel he was staying in. He had a stroke but could't be given the med that needs to be administered within a certain amount of time afterward because no one knows how long he was laying there. He lived about a week after that. He was 54 years old.
I am still reeling from the loss of my mother and now I feel so badly for my Aunt. She has two grown boys who I know will be there for her, supporting her as she did us.
We will be doing our usual outage this Fall but we are going up to Maine to see Masterchief's mother for her 89th birthday first. All four of her kids will be together. She will be delighted!
I don't know when, if ever the blogging bug will bite again. I haven't picked up a needle in ages! I know it will all return some day....maybe during the Winter when things settle down.
Oh, I almost forgot. Mom had two miniature schnauzers that she adored like they were her own children (maybe even more) LOL!!! They are brothers and have always been together but my step father couldn't take care of them both because of his own physical limitations. Masterchief made the decision that we could bring one of them home with us. ♥(YAY)♥ It's like having a little bit of Mom right here in Kentucky with me!
|He has claimed his chair
|This is how he sleeps
|He seems quite comfortable here
His name is Gibbs. Mom named the boys Gibbs and Magee, after two characters on a TV series she liked to watch, NCIS. It's going to break my heart to have to board him while we go away for work but I feel good about where we are taking him. That makes all the difference.
As we were going through Mom's things we found these papers.
She took the time to copy pictures of the food she always gave them and where it could be bought. When I read the last part, I had to swallow the lump in my throat.
So I am.
Honoring one of her strongest last wishes.
I hope she is pleased.
Hug the ones you love! We don't know what tomorrow brings. Cherish each moment.
~Hugs to YOU
~~Peggy Lee

Paris: A Belgian-Moroccan man has been identified as one of the group involved in the terror attacks in Paris and its suburbs in November.
The militant was identified as Chakib Akrouh by the prosecutor, who said he had been the third person who shot and killed patrons at cafes and bars in Paris on the evening of November 13, the night 130 people were killed in three co-ordinated attacks in and around the city. He has not been identified previously.
Akrouh, 25, blew himself up in an apartment on Rue Corbillon in Saint-Denis during a police raid five days later, the office of Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said in a statement.
He was identified by matching his DNA with that of his mother, the prosecutor's office said.
The identification of Akrouh reduces to two the number of unidentified figures involved in the attacks.
Three suicide bombers were found to have been outside the Stade de France in the north of Paris. One has been identified as Bilal Hadfi. The other two, still unnamed, were registered as having entered Europe through Greece carrying false Syrian documents.
Mr Molins has now identified all three gunmen at the cafes and bars, where 39 people were killed. The other two were Ibrahim Abdeslam, who blew himself up, according to the prosecutor, and Abdelhamid Abaaoud, believed to have been the on-the-ground organiser of the attacks. Abaaoud died in the November 18 police raid on the hideout in Saint-Denis.
Like the majority of the attackers, Akrouh had ties to Morocco. The others had Belgian-Moroccan or French-Moroccan backgrounds. Reports in the Belgian media said Akrouh went to Syria and was sentenced to five years in absentia last summer in the same court case in which Abaaoud was sentenced to 20 years in prison for recruiting for the Islamic State.
Akrouh came from Molenbeek, a suburb of Brussels where the Abdeslam brothers, who were also involved in the Paris attacks, lived. He appears to have known Abaaoud, perhaps from there.
His image was captured in a Paris Metro station with Abaaoud on the night of November 13, when the two returned to the area near the Bataclan concert hall, where some of the other assailants were still shooting and killing civilians.

There are online tools available that make the process of managing projects easier, most of which include standard project management applications like time tracking, task lists and schedules. The top ten project management tools are outlined below.
1. Feedchamp is a free online tool which in addition to the standard applications, has a discussion area, instant messenger capability and allows you to keep track of projects using RSS feeds.
2. Upload your Microsoft Project tasks to Multitask. Talk to colleagues remotely by signing in to instant messenger services like Yahoo and generate GANTT charts.
3. GANTTER is similar to Multitask, but has some extra features. You can save projects as PDF's and upload files to google docs. There are a number of different project management templates.
4. Project Insight is good for virtual assistants with less complicated projects to manage.
5. ACE project is for larger businesses with multiple users and projects to manage. Features include a discussion forum and task management features.
6. Basecamp has a simple interface including a file area, milestone area and to do lists.
7. Easy Projects is a paid service with a simple user interface featuring employee time sheets and various permissions which vary depending on your position within the team.
8. Smartsheet is a system based on spreadsheets, so you need to be used to them to use it comfortably.
9. Teamwork, as the name implies is designed for teams and is good for managing milestones and informing team members of the status of projects.
10. Central Desktop is best used for companies with 100 to 1000 people. You can link it to your company intranet for easy collaboration.

ATLANTA (AP) Tony Dungy believes in mentoring and says it puts people on the right path — including his most famous pupil, Philadelphia quarterback Michael Vick (FSY).
On a national tour to promote his new book on mentoring, Dungy told the Associated Press on Monday that Vick still has a lot to learn about his image.
Dungy says even if Vick isn't doing something illegal, he still can better decisions to stay out of harm's way.
Vick hosted a birthday party that ended with a shooting June 25 in Virginia Beach, Va.
"The first thing people have to realize is that probation officers detail everything, and if he is off track even a little, they're going to come down," Dungy said. "They reviewed the situation that went on and moved forward. The NFL did and moved forward. Michael would like to have all the negative publicity back, but it really wasn't the type of thing that people have blown it into. But that's the lesson for him."
Vick is on probation after serving an 18-month federal prison sentence that ended in May 2009 for dogfighting.
According to police in Virginia Beach, Vick was not present when a person was shot. Vick's attorney, Larry Woodward, identified the victim as Quanis Phillips, a co-defendant in the dogfighting ring.
"Tony Dungy can go somewhere and if something happens, I'm not going to get singled out," Dungy said. "Michael Vick goes some place and the same thing happens, and you're the center of attention. You're the focus. Now is it fair? Who knows?
"But that's the bed you've made and you've got to sleep in it and be prepared for that. That's the lesson he's learned."
Dungy shares life lessons in his new book, The Mentor Leader. It went on sale last week, and Dungy spoke at the national offices of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America in midtown Atlanta. He will also make stops during the promotional tour this week in Central and South Florida.
Dungy writes at length about his work with Vick.
"Whether Michael manages to regain the status he once had in the league is not nearly as important as the kind of man he becomes," Dungy said. That's what I wrote about him in the book."
During Vick's imprisonment in Leavenworth Kan., Dungy visited with the former Atlanta Falcons star. Since Vick's release in May 2009, Dungy has stayed in contact with him regularly and talks occasionally with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and Eagles coach Andy Reid to ensure Vick is making good decisions off the field.
"He didn't do anything other than maybe put himself in a place where he shouldn't have been," Dungy said. "But people will look at that one incident and forget about the other 364 days and a lot of the good things that have gone on."
Vick is Philadelphia's No. 2 quarterback behind starter Kevin Kolb (FSY). Last week at Eagles training camp, Goodell met with Vick — who does not face any disciplinary actions from the NFL as a result of the birthday bash shooting.
Dungy coached the Indianapolis Colts to the 2006 Super Bowl title.

ShiningNorwegian rock group. Formed 1999
Shining Biography (Wikipedia)
Shining (stylized as SHINING) is a Norwegian avant-garde music band from Oslo. Thirteen musicians have been a part of the band's line-up in its history, with singer, guitarist, saxophonist and songwriter Jørgen Munkeby as its leading force and only constant member. It is also referred to as SHINING (NOR) to avoid confusion with the eponymous Swedish black metal band.
Shining was created in 1999 as an acoustic instrumental jazz quartet consisting of Munkeby, drummer Torstein Lofthus, pianist Morten Qvenild, and double bassist Aslak Hartberg. They released their first albums Where the Ragged People Go and Sweet Shanghai Devil in 2001 and 2003 respectively. Their 2005 album In the Kingdom of Kitsch You Will Be a Monster led the band into a more avant-garde, electric, rock-oriented sound, with Qvenild now playing synthesizers and other electronic keyboards, and Hartberg mostly using bass guitar instead of double bass.
Qvenild and Hartberg both left the band before or following the release of the album, being replaced in 2005 by Andreas Hessen Schei and Morten Strøm respectively. Under this line-up, Shining released Grindstone in 2007, an album going into a heavier direction and distancing itself more from jazz, incorporating elements from progressive rock, pop, as well as 19th and 20th century classical music. On the following years, Schei was replaced by Andreas Ulvo who was himself later replaced by Bernt Moen, while Tor Egil Kreken replaced Strøm on bass guitar, and in addition the band included guitarist Even Helte Hermansen as a new member in 2010, expanding into a quintet.

Image Graphic Formats: Challenge to the Duo
Maricon Williams
Perhaps, there can also be some confusion forming cobwebs at the back of your mind. The dilemma may involve their proper use. Thus, you must zero in on what's best for your graphics.
To give you a clear-cut idea on when to use them, here are the rules of thumb:
1. If your graphics are created on your computer like buttons, logos, line drawings, animations and horizontal rules, you have to use the GIF format.
2. If your agendum is to delve on scanned pictures and images, you have to use JPEG.
What do you think is the reason why JPEG is preferred when it comes to photographs? It is simple. JPEG has more complex color patters that can accommodate the needs of photographs. This format enables you to save pictures and images with lots of colors say millions of them.
JPEG, short for Joint Photographic Experts Group, contains 24-bit or 16.7 + million colors. It stores the information of images by observing and following the track of color changes.
GIF or Graphics Interchange Format, on the other hand, contains a maximum of 8-bi or 256 colors. This format is good for graphic files customizations. What is the drawback of using this format? One is that the colors you choose may not be similar to the final color. This is because it picks up colors in its 256-color palette. Thus, dithering occurs. This is evident when you zoom in on your image.
Dithering is a process of tricking the eye into believing that the color it sees is solid by using two-different colors in its palette. Nonetheless, pixels in the GIF version change from side to side from dark to light. This does not happen to JPEG versions. With the latter, what results is one solid color.
In a nutshell, JPEG was designed to compress photographs, detailed artworks and other analogous images. This format handles faint shadings and color blends better than GIF. Nevertheless, the latter has special features which are good for animation, interlacing and transparency.
The next time you get entangled with a situation which needs your wisdom in choosing the right thing especially between JPEG and GIF, you sure know how to handle it!

UK Appliance Repair Questions? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
Hi I have an Indesit IDS 105 Slimline dishwasher and it has stopped working. The first green light on the panel just flashes (I think that it is the washing cycle light) and it keeps making a noise like it is draining the machine but it does not go through the cycle
Sorry for the delay in replying, I only just came online and saw your question. Are you still looking for help with this?
Please don't rate my answer until we have explored all possible avenues. Please just use the reply button to contact me.
Hi Rob,
Yep that's what I thought from reading some previous problems people have had, when i tipped it backi had a towel underneath and I suppose I was expected a lot of water, there was some but not excessive, but then I guess that i am not sure how much i should have been expecting.
Yes when you turn it on now the pump is constantly running, to the point where I have had to turn it off overnight
Tilt machine back at 45 degrees.Water will come out the back.The machine should now be reset.If this re occurs you have a leak and will need to find it and rectify it .
Can I ask you to take a moment and rate my response? Please use the smiley faces which you should now see. Please remember you are rating me personally, not the website or the problems you have had with this machine.If you need to ask me anything after rating, please just follow the link in the welcome emailThanksRob
Thanks for replying. On the back of you saying it sounded flooded I have done the tilt back again and this time no water came out. I tried to take the panels off to see inside for water but couldn't work out how to get them off completely. I got my hand inside to have feel and on the bottom of the machine was bone dry. Should I have been able to feel water if it was flooded?
Thanks Rich
Thanks for your help, sorry this is going on a bit, I really don't think that this is the problem, I have just taken the bottom of the machine off - there is a plastic plate on the bottom through which you access the stuff in the bottom, not by taking off the kick panels (which seem to be pretty much un moveable). When I removed the plastic plate there was not water in the machine it was bone dry with a spider in there, i found what i think is the float switch (a blue plastic thing with a bit of polystyrene in the middle?) again this was bone dry and no appearance that there has been any water in it at all. I think that the towel before may have been wet from the fact that I took of the inlet pipe as well to see if it was blocked? Looking in the bottom of the machine it is so dry that I can't imagine that it has been flooded at any point. Is there anything else that I can try please?
The float definitely clicked when i pushed it up and down. I have poured a bowl of water into the machine but i cant start a cycle because as soon as I put the power on to the machine the light is flashing and the drain pump kicks in and so it is not possible to start a cycle, incidentally the water that i put in myself does get drained away.
The machine is about 3 years old
There are 3 lights and it is the one on the far left, it is the light which first comes on when you put a wash cycle on, and i think it means the washing cycle light, the one to the right of it which is the middle light has a sign which like a sun, which i am assuming is the drying phase? It is just the left one which flashes.
It is constantly flashing no pauses
OK thanks Rob,
That is typical for us lol!
Postcode is BS4 4HL

The Milkman is a minor character from Disney's 1970 animated film, The Aristocats. He was voiced by Pete Renaday.
Role in the film
The Milkman is first seen driving his truck until, he is scared half to death by O'Malley, who manages to jump in front of his truck front window from a tree, screeching, thus, forcing him to drive somewhat out of control as O'Malley disappears out of sight and then stop his truck to try and fix it while insulting O'Malley.
As the Milkman is able to start up his truck again, O'Malley, Duchess and her kittens: Berlioz, Toulouse, and Marie manage to sneak into the truck and use it as a ride back home to Paris. Later, after O'Malley offers the kittens some milk for them to drink, the Milkman unfortunately finally notices them on his rearview mirror, thus forcing to stop his truck yet again only a little more violent this time. As the truck comes to a stop, O'Malley accidentally "flies" towards the Milkman and ends up on his head. The Milkman tries to grab him but misses as he and the other cats try to escape him. As the cats are running away scared from him, the Milkman chases them away with a wrench and a bucket, which he throws at them but misses while insulting them and then, continues driving his way. The Milkman isn't seen throughout the rest of the movie after this.
- The Milkman's truck resembles Jasper and Horace's truck from 101 Dalmatians.

Product Information
Important Sizing Note: The following measurements are the dimensions of the actual product, not of the pet they fit. After measuring your pet, make sure all measurements fit within the following dimensions (with a little room to spare in the chest and neck).XX-Small
I love these boots because of the strap & where it is placed on your dogs ankle when they are on. these DO NOT come off while my dog is wearing them!! I will buy these for life!!
They fit perfect - great quality ! I would recommend & buy again!
These boots did not work well for our dog. She is a very timid rescue dog. She is probably 10 years old and getting her used to wearing boots just isn't going well. We hoped that she could wear them when we hike but she trips on them. I am going to keep trying because her paw was injured on a hike which caused a Cutaneous horn to grow on her paw pad. The vet bill to have it removed was horrendous and the recovery time has been very long. I would like to have this never happen again. Unfortunately, she is miserable when she is wearing the boots and doesn't seem to enjoy her walks. I would recommend these boots for a dog who doesn't have all the emotional baggage our girl brought with her. She doesn't trust us completely and seems to think that anything new is another method of torture.

Institutional Discrimination:
Economic independence is a primary goal for many of the oppressed in the United States. In American society work is the preferred avenue people follow in pursuit of economic independence. Often, however, those most in need in society have the greatest difficulty finding work (or at least work that offers adequate compensation). The material presented in this article specifically targets women. Much of it, however, applies to economically disadvantaged minorities overall.
An overarching theme in this article calls attention to a concept of institutional discrimination. Legal discrimination is, after all, illegal. Presumably, if one can document legal discrimination, one can remove such discrimination through the courts or legislatures. Institutional discrimination, on the other hand, is much more insidious and, therefore, more difficult to rectify. Institutional discrimination resides within the fabric of society. Harrington (1984) poetically called institutional discrimination "structures of misery." Eitzen and Baca-Zinn (1994:174) describe institutional discrimination as "the customary ways of doing things, prevailing attitudes and expectations, and accepted structural arrangements [that] works to the disadvantage [of the poor]." Institutional discrimination explains much inequality in gender (and race and ethnicity) found in the workplace.
The specifics of this article explore earnings discrimination, occupational distribution, the organization of work, and the character of relationships within the family where, according to many, the essence of gender inequality resides.
I. Concepts
gender stratification
sexual harassment
What is Sexual Orientation?
In 1980 women earned approximately 59 percent of every dollar earned by men (Eitzen and Baca-Zinn, 1994:253). This ratio improves slightly during economic growth periods in the national economy. In 1990 the figure was 71 percent of every dollar earned by men (Eitzen and Baca-Zinn, 1994:253). Recessionary periods, on the other hand, are characterized by growing disparity in wages earned by men and women.
Many, like Esping-Andersen (1990), argue that as the economy becomes more internationalized, the gender bias in earnings begins to disappear. The logic here is that advanced capitalism requires the best person for the job despite gender (or race and ethnicity). There is some evidence to support Esping-Andersen's claim. Women who work in internationally competitive industrial sectors do appear to earn salaries that are closer to those earned by men (see Long, 1993).
Long (1995), however, disputes the claim that all women are experiencing greater parity with their male counterparts. Huge salaries earned by women who have skills demanded by corporations that produce in the international arena mask continued (and perhaps growing) inequality experienced between men and women in the United States in the lower social strata.
Comparable Worth
Comparable Worth is a philosophy of "Pay Equity" which suggests that jobs of comparable values (skills and experience) should be paid the same.
Differential access means that men have greater access to the labor market than do women. Differential access does not explain the entire problem, however. Women earn less than men even on jobs where all other qualifications are held constant.
1. Women Enter the Labor Market with Lower Paying Jobs
Three issues are dealt with regarding institutional discrimination. The first item notes that women enter the labor market at different and lower paying levels than do men. Historically, men were doctors while women were nurses; men taught in college while women taught in primary schools; men worked construction while women were secretaries; men worked in the automobile and steel industries while women worked in apparels and textiles.
In each of the above comparisons men are employed in labor sectors that pay higher wages than jobs that employ women.
2. Women Enter the Labor Market Later than Men and Periodically Have to Leave.
A second observation notes that women enter the labor market later than men and periodically have to leave. The explanation is obvious. Women enter the labor market later than men and periodically leave to have children. Childbearing is obviously a necessary social endeavor. The labor market and society overall would cease to function if women did not leave the labor market to have children. Unfortunately society does not compensate women for this activity (and other domestic concerns) and it penalizes them in the labor market.
One has difficulty arguing that an employee who has longevity on a job deserves raises while one who has a "spotty" work record does not. On the other hand, it is not especially difficult to see the inherent inequity in a system that penalizes women for essentially doing a good job (domestically) in an activity that is absolutely indispensable socially.
3. Women Earn Less Overtime Than Men
A final observation revolves around the fact that women earn less overtime than do men. Overtime pay represents the difference between having a good life and a marginal life for skilled and semiskilled workers. Industry and manufacturing provide overtime pay. These sectors hire primarily males. Service sector work, such as clerical work, does not pay overtime nearly as much as manufacturing. These sectors rely heavily on a female workforce.
Differential access highlights the institution character of gender inequality. One can easily see the dynamics that generate inequality. Solutions are difficult to pinpoint within the institution of work. One might argue that Americans place too much emphasis on WORK as an avenue to prosperity. An analysis of Scandinavian social arrangements might be in order.
The Second Shift
Appelbaum & Chambliss (1997:228) argue that the "second-shift" is the unpaid housework that women typically do after they come home from their paid employment.
The kind of work an individual does often determines whether that individual (and his or her family) is wealthy or poor. The previous section, in part, explored inequities in wage-compensation associated with various kinds of work. Wages, of course, are only one benefit gained from employment. Other benefits include time-off (Gorz, 1984 argues that leisure is a fundamental issue regarding work), health and retirement benefits, and longevity (to mention a few).
At this point exploring the general structure of work is beneficial. Often minorities are tracked into jobs that do not provide compensation at a level that allows economic independence. An observation that one might draw is that there are entire categories of jobs that have similar characteristics.
Worker's finds themselves employed in one of two great segments in the capitalist economy. These segments have different characteristics, fulfill different roles in the economy, and provide different rewards for the laborer (Eitzen and Baca-Zinn, 1994:441-443).
1. The Primary Sector
The primary sector is composed of large, bureaucratic organizations with relatively stable production and sales. Jobs within this sector require advanced skills, provide relatively high levels of wage compensation, include good working conditions, and are characterized by stable employment.
a. Upper Tier
Women are moving into professional areas, but their proportion in professional areas is still quite low. There has also developed a split in the professional circles that see some professional jobs becoming routinized. Much of the employee's autonomy is taken out of these "professional" jobs. Structural change occurs within the world system also which has impact on women.
Within the primary sector are two sub tiers. Characteristics of the jobs in the upper-tier are highly educated employees who work at jobs that require creativity and initiative. Upward mobility is likely.
b. Lower Tier
In the lower-tier one finds white-collar clerical or blue-collar skilled and semiskilled people. Limited mobility characterizes employment in the lower-tier, but jobs are relatively secure and have union advocacy.
The secondary market is composed of marginal firms where product demand is unstable. Poor working conditions characterize the work place. Secondary sector employment provides low wages, few opportunities for advancement, and little job security. Secondary sector employment requires little education or skills. People get locked into these positions because they do not have skills. Many account for the low levels of benefits and security found in the secondary market by blaming the person occupying such positions. Many accuse secondary sector workers of having poor work histories. Often, however, the poor work history is a result of unemployment related to the production of marginal products. Workers in the secondary market are subject to harsh working conditions and oppressive discipline from management. Both conditions are related to the fact that there are no unions.
Minorities (ethnic, racial, and gender) tend to work in the secondary sector. This, in part, explains wage and salary inequities.
Glass CeilingAppelbaum & Chambliss (1997:232) describe the glass ceiling as a seemingly invisible barrier to movement into the very top positions in business and government, which makes it difficult for women to reach the top of their professions.
Eitzen and Baca-Zinn (1994:252) note that in 1940 only 20% of women of working age were in the job market. By 1991 this figure had risen to 57 percent. Greater participation in the labor force does not, however, translate into empowerment (Staudt, 1987) because often they are forced into what Eitzen and Baca-Zinn (1994:252) call "pink-collar" professions. As the capitalist economy is transformed from a manufacturing economy into an advanced service economy, there is greater need for clerical and service sector jobs and women generally fill these jobs.
Pink-collar refers to jobs generated in the clerical and service sector. They generally employ women, but many men do this kind of work as well. "Pink-collar" positions generally offer low wages compared with employment in manufacturing.
Economic independence is ultimately enhanced for some because their job allows them to experience a great deal of upward mobility. Some individuals do not experience UPWARD mobility. Their jobs are dead-end jobs. On the other hand, some jobs have slots that allow some people to experience upward mobility, but the manner in which promotions are granted is biased. This section addresses blocked opportunities and "old boy" networks.
Majority groups always develop justifications to explain the inequalities they impose on minority groups. Often religious or biological explanations are involved. Biology might be used to explain stereotypical perceptions that "men are more ambitious, task-oriented, and work involved." Perhaps god might even be invoked to explain why women are "seen as less motivated, less committed, and more oriented toward work based social relationships than to work itself."
Obviously we live in the 1990s and educated people recognize such clichés' as trash. There is, however, the possibility that the expected behavior exists at a sufficient level to perpetuate the stereotype -- a kind of self-fulfilling prophecy. In the work force, male bosses in secretarial pools might see enough "socializing" to fulfill their expectations that women socialize too much. While that boss might conjure up religion or biology, the behavior he is seeing might be related to "pressures" which emanate from the organizational position his secretaries occupy.
Blocked opportunities refer to structural barriers that minorities encounter that prevent their advancement in an organization. People who have their opportunities blocked (despite their demographic characteristics) limit their aspirations. Instead of defining themselves through the work they perform, they seek satisfaction in activities outside work, dream of escape, and create sociable peer groups in which inter personal relationships become more important than the specific job they are hired to perform. The key point is that the characteristics of work (that block opportunity) determine the characteristics of the employee.
Old-boy networks refer to the informal social relationships that occur within any large organization. They may not have discriminatory intentions, but their actions amount to discrimination in that minorities are ultimately excluded from participation in the organization. While the term "old-boy" implies a male dominated organization, the gender reference might be misplaced. Old-boy simply refers to those individuals who have a historic relationship with an organization who occupies positions of power within the organization. Women can occupy these positions, but often men are the controlling force in many firms.
Demographic characteristics of informal associations within corporations may inadvertently (or overtly) limit minority access to higher positions within the organization. Many decisions concerning company policy (in terms of hiring and firing) occur in these "old-boy" networks. Imagine, for example, the informal gathering at the health spa at 6:30 in the morning before work. Obviously women would not "fit in" here. Or suppose the old-boys gather at the local bar Friday evenings to discuss business or to tell gender specific jokes.
Again, it would not be too far-fetched to think of a scenario where the "old-boys" would argue that women might be uncomfortable in the barroom setting. They might even convince themselves that they would do a potential female employee a favor by not subjecting her to that environment. Despite the patronizing position, one might hypothesize that many a minority has been excluded from companies as the organization hierarchy engages in precisely these kinds of arguments and justifications for not hiring minorities.
The status of women within the family parallels the position that they hold in the job markets. Women, however, earn no money for the jobs that they perform in terms of housework and child rearing, although these jobs are necessary for the survival of the family. Despite the importance of such work, it is not viewed as prestigious in terms of wage compensation.
The status of men, as wage earners outside the home, helps establish his highly valued position within the family because women do not have access to resources outside the home. The position of women in the labor market adds to their dependence experienced within the family.
Gender inequality is historically related to the subordinate position of women within the family in terms of rule making and control of resources (e.g., money). This relationship is continued within the labor market where historically men have secured vested positions by making the rules (controlling management and labor) and by receiving unequal (greater) rewards. (Eitzen and Baca-Zinn, 1994:443)
The reader should be aware that the kinds of relationships discussed above characterize most majority/minority relationships. The dominant partner in any social relationship can maintain power via a combination of control over decision making processes, control of wealth, and one might add control over ideology that superimposes a justification on top of unequal relationships.

ASA has accepted stealing if the local league/tourney wants it. If the ball hits the plate or the dirt in front, the ball is DEAD. Otherwise have a good catcher. Can leave a base when it reaches the plate or hits the ground.

School Removes Wrecking Ball After Miley's Video
By JACKIE WILLIS
September 18, 2013
Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Michigan removed their pendulum statue after students began to use it to copy Miley Cyrus' nude moves in her Wrecking Ball video.
RELATED: Watch Miley's Wrecking Ball
The university doesn't seemed bothered that people are riding the campus landmark, as it's "established a tradition for incoming freshmen (the majority of GV students have ridden the ball at least once)," it's that they're riding it naked, Total Frat Move reports. The 42-inch steel ball hanging on a 50-foot cable has been removed, but the tweets and Vines of these Miley impersonators have not.
In fact, it seems students are peacefully protesting to get their pendulum back. One person tweeted:
So proud of everyone here. #WEWANTOURBALLBACK pic.twitter.com/qlQFMJ31OB— The Laker Life (@Grand_Valley17) September 18, 2013
Do you think they should bring back the ball? Let us know, below.

There are obvious storylines to follow tonight when the Rangers close out their four-game road trip in Pittsburgh.
They go for a season-high five straight wins, and four straight on the road. They can expect Jaromir Jagr to be booed every time he touches the puck.There are the point streaks of Sidney Crosby and Evegni Malkin, which stand at 18 and 12 games, respectively.
And there is the continuation of the generational grudge match between Sean Avery andGary Roberts. Remember it was a week ago Thursday when Avery goaded the 41-year-old Roberts into a double-minor, setting up a crucial Rangers goal in an eventual 4-2 win. Later he explained how getting the best of Roberts wasn't all that difficult.
"It's probably easier,� Avery said. "Young guys are just a little dumb. They don't really know what's going on half the time so a guy like that takes it as little more of an insult, like how dare you disrespect them and all they've done for the game and how great they are.�
Given that brush, tonight, more so than recent stops in Jersey and Philly, will be the best test for Avery after last week's fireworks in Toronto. There's no doubt that words will be exchanged, maybe even in warm-ups.
How he handles it is the question.
More later…

Judge: Move inmates because of fungus
SACRAMENTO - A federal judge on Monday ordered the state to move several thousand inmates out of two California prisons because they are at a high risk of contracting a potentially deadly airborne fungus.
U.S. District Judge Thelton Henderson instructed corrections officials to transfer most black, Filipino and medically at-risk inmates because they are more vulnerable to health problems from valley fever. The fungal infection originates in the soil of the San Joaquin Valley, where Avenal and Pleasant Valley state prisons are located.
He gave the state 90 days to fully comply.
About 3,250 of the two prisons' 8,100 inmates fall into the categories covered by the judge's ruling. But Henderson said inmates among those groups who already have had the disease do not have to be moved.
He also altered the recommendation from the court-appointed official who oversees prison medical care to exclude inmates over age 55, although that category of inmates could be included at a later date.
New Hampshire
Scouts hospitalized after lightning strike
BELMONT - A lightning strike Monday at a New Hampshire Boy Scouts camp injured nearly two dozen Scouts.
Scouts spokesman Greg Osborn said no one was directly hit by the lightning at the Griswold Scout Reservation. He said some of the 23 Scouts and three adults who were injured complained of tingling and burning sensations and all were treated by camp nurses before being hospitalized as a precaution. He said those who were treated are doing well and are in good spirits.
The lightning struck during a big evening storm just outside Belmont at Camp Bell, one of two camps at the reservation. The camp offers activities including rock climbing and sailing.
Firefighters said the lightning struck near where the Boy Scouts had gathered. Osborn said the Scouts were under shelter at the time.
Grain elevator blast kills 1 worker
UNION MILLS - An explosion Monday inside a grain elevator killed a worker at a sprawling northwestern Indiana farm co-op, authorities said.
The cause of the blast at the Union Mills Co-op remained unknown Monday evening several hours after the blast. The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Indiana Occupational Safety and Health Administration were among the agencies sending investigators to the scene.
It wasn't clear where the victim, James Swank, 67, of Union Mills, was at time of the blast, but he might have been loading grain into train cars with two other workers, Maj. John Boyd of the LaPorte County Sheriff's Department said.
Teen impaled on horn of bull statue dies
LUBBOCK - A 14-year-old West Texas boy died after he ran into a bull statue on the Texas Tech University campus and impaled himself on one of its horns.
University spokesman Chris Cook said Miguel Martinez impaled himself while playing hide-and-seek with friends in the pre-dawn hours of Saturday morning.
Campus police said Martinez was at the museum with two adults and two minors when police were called to the scene. Police said Martinez was running on the National Ranching Heritage Museum on the Texas Tech campus when the horn pierced his chest.
New Jersey
Rapper 'Fat Joe' sentenced in tax case
NEWARK - The former chart-topping rap star known as "Fat Joe" was sentenced to four months in prison Monday over his earlier admission that he failed to file federal income taxes for two years.
The platinum-selling artist, whose real name is Joseph Cartagena, apologized to his family and supporters during his sentencing Monday in federal court in Newark, N.J.
The 42-year-old resident of Miami Beach, Fla., and Tenafly, N.J., pleaded guilty in December to failing to pay taxes on more than $1 million of income in 2007 and in 2008.
U.S. Magistrate Cathy Waldor said she took into account for sentencing the government's allegation that Cartagena failed to pay taxes on some $3 million in income for the years 2007 through 2010.
Federal prosecutors said the total tax loss to the government for those four years was $718,038.

SE Night -> April 3, 2014Walter Schilling Mar 17, 2014 12:18 PM
Software Engineering students and alumni:
Many of you were able to attend the SE Night we held this past fall. We've got another great SE Night planned for early next month. We hope you can join us."
On Thursday night, April 3, 2014, Dedicated Computing (http://www.dedicatedcomputing.com/) is sponsoring for you the second SE Night for the year. The agenda is still not entirely finalized, but there are two exciting things that we can share. First off, MSOE will be receiving the donation of a Xeon Phi supercomputer that will eventually be available for student use on projects and undergraduate research. The Xeon Phi is the same technology that is present in the world's fastest supercomputer, the Tianhe-2. Second, Intel will be presenting a discussion on parallelization and its impact on software engineering. Effectively using multicores in software design is considered to be the next great challenge for software engineering. In addition, we will have the normal networking with alumni and industry representatives, senior design presentations, and a discussion from Dedicated Computing about building specialized software.
In order to properly plan for the event, it is important for you to register by no later than Friday, March 21, 2014. Registration will be handled at the following link:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1X5CKP_SoIQdUgBygZBGgzpalJa_YVAifF3emLTi-DXc/viewform

Not to be outshined, Sony is coming with their own games and panels — only they are upping the ante a little. While not sporting as many titles as Microsoft, and focusing a little more on their indie developers (a first for them), Sony is bringing some new flair to SDCC by way of customized arcade cabinets for their Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One demo. Decked out with a 40" Bravia 3Dtv, custom artwork from Insomniac and a light display, these bad boys will be set up for all to enjoy while demoing the game.
Of course, that won't be the only game on the agenda. With titles like Twisted Metal, Resistance 3, StarHawk, and Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception all playable, it could be hard for show goers to manage their time. On top of that, Sony will have panels highlighting their upcoming work with independent developers like thatgamecompany and Minority Games, along with panels on how the film industry has helped develop titles like Uncharted.
Just like with Microsoft, below is a quick rundown of what's to be expected during the weekend. To get more detailed information, head on over to The PlayStation Blog and take a look:

On a recent broadcast of the Fox Business channel program Follow the Money, Dan Gainor of the Media Research Center cried puppet foul.
Brought in by host Eric Bolling to address the slant of a bad guy named Tex Richman (Chris Cooper) and a plot where the good guys band together to stop oil drilling in LA, Gainor made his case. Who knew Kermit was being slimed by such concepts as "Liberal Hollywood" and "class warfare:"
Gainor seems only mildly surprised that there are no Occupy Muppets depicted in the Disney hit film.

455,000 is the "benchmark" number for new unemployment claims. Every week--usually on Thursday--the government releases the number of new unemployment claims filed in the previous week (representing, by definition, layoffs). That weekly number of new unemployment claims AVERAGED 455,0000 for all of December (of 2009). It has NOT IMPROVED since the end of November, except for meaningless individual eeks. Remember this "benchmarks" Democrats used to point to in Iraq as necessary to show the improving situation? Well, unless and until the average weekly jobless claims number falls CONSISTENTLY below 455,000, Obama and the Democrats are making NO progress in the job market. For over nine months now, there has been NO progress--representing TOTAL FAILURE by Obama and the free spending Democrats in Congress.
The weekly number of new unemployment claims reported this Thursday is 465,000--up 12,000 from the REVISED 453,0000 reported last week. The number reported the previous week is REVISED every week, which means this week's number is PROBABLY around 468,000. The revisions over the past 4 months have been consistently UPWARD by 3 or 4 thousand. For example, last week's number was initially reported at 450,000. The media ignores these constant revisions, which makes their reporting a LIE (every single week, along with the other lies routinely contained i the mainstream media reporting of these numbers). For example, you may have seen headlines last week that the weekly jobless claims number "dropped", or inched down". A LIE. The REVISED number for last week was 453,0000. The REVISED number for the week before that was 453,0000. UNCHANGED (which is why I did no article last week). And the headlines today report a rise of 12,0000 (from the revised 453,000). If you have been paying attention, you realize that is a LIE. On an apples to apples basis, the increase for this week was 15,0000, from the initially reported 450,0000 last week. We don't yet have the REVISED figures for this week, which makes it INCORRECT to compare this week's unrevised number with last week's revised number. What is the media to do, since they don't have next week's revised number yet? well, they might try telling the TRUTH--like I do essentially every week. They should NOT report a "drop" in the weekly number (as they did last week), if they are comparing revised and unrevised figures. If they are going to report a rise of 12,000, they should telly you that such number is subject to revision, and that the revision has been consistently UPWARD 3 thousand or so.
Further, the weekly number is volatile (which means the media lies every time it reports one weekly number as meaning much). It i NOT a "concrete" number. It is a SUBJECTIVE number, based on seasonal adjustments each week (such adjustments being subject to massive human error in the adjustment formula used). The weekly number is especially unreliable around holidays--including going into holidays and coming out of holidays. That is because of many things, including the difficulty in figuring the appropriate seasonal adjustment when the holiday may fall at a different time of the month, or a different psychological time for the economy. The economy does not react tje same each year to each holiday, but the seasonal adjustment assumes it does. It is all more like witchcraft than "science". That is why the only way to look at these numbers is OVER TIME. This summer, we had a large spike in the weekly numbers, and average, in July-August--leading up to the Labor Day holiday. Did the economy react differently this year to the approaching end of summer? Maybe so. Then the weekly number apparently fell sharply, to 453,0000, right around the Labor Day holiday. Was that because of the distortion of the Labor Day holiday, combined with a little bit of a false reaction by the economy this year to the summer months? Maybe so.
Over time, however, these number show a convincing picture of FAILURE by the Obama Administration, and Democrats in Congress. The "stimulus" has not worked, and we have bankrupted ourselves for nothing. The four week average of new unemployment claims is still above 460,000, and ABOVE the average for December. This is after the summer months, when the average spiked above 480,0000. Since early May, the BOTTOM of the range of the weekly number has been basically that 455,000, which was the AVERAGE for all of December. The only exception was an obvious statistical glitch (which everyone admits) caused by that decision by GM (Government Motors) to not shut down for the standard two weeks at the beginning of July. See what I mean about the "seasonal adjustments" making the weekly number unreliable?
Since December, we have been STUCK in a range of 445,0000 to 490,0000. Since early May, that range has changed to an UPWARD bias of between 450,000 and 500,000. The four week average (disregarding that FALSE 429,000 number in early July) has stayed generally between 460,0,000 and 480,000 (with that one spike toward 490,000).
As stated, over time this is a record of TOTAL FAILURE since the beginning of December. We are not improving at all, and have gotten slightly wore. The best that can be said is that we have not fallen totally off a cliff (as appeared might be happening when the weekly number spiked above 500,000), but are still hanging on to the edge of the cliff with our fingernails. Now that the Labor Day holiday is past, we will probably get a better read on exactly where we are (until Thanksgiving and Christmas introduce volatility again). But--except to adjust the range slightly higher--we have not moved out of the same range since December.

In Linux how do I find out how much disk space is available on a particular disk partition?Submitted by nbcs faq on Tue, 2006-06-27 10:20. GNU Linux | other | Other
In linux there is a command called df -m that will tell users how much space is left on their disk partitions. This command can also be used to find out how much space is left on a particular partition. To do this users just need to add the name of the partition to the command. For example if I wanted to find out how mich space was left on my hda4 disk partition I would type:
df -m /dev/hda4
