Cell Phone Radiation
Do You Sleep Next to Your Cell Phone?
There's contradicting evidence as to whether or not radio waves from mobile phones are harmful to your health. Some research shows that cell phone radiation could cause brain cancer, and others claim that there is no correlation. Whatever the case may be, the debate is back on the table for the Federal Communications Commission. The FCC is updating its standards on exposure to electromagnetic fields from phones for the first time since 1996, and the renewed guidelines should reveal interesting data on how we are affected by those radio waves.
If cell phone waves are, in fact, damaging to our brains, than smartphone users who keep their iPhones or Android devices on their nightstands may be at risk. The popularity of sleep apps, such as the Sleep Cycle Alarm Clock, which requires users to place their phone on the bed to identify when you are in deep REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, is growing rapidly. Does this mean that sleep-conscious smartphone users aren't worried about the potential harmful effects of radio waves or radiation?
We want to know what you think: do you keep your cell phone by your bedside? And if not, is it because you're concerned about brain damage?

The 30 Seconds to Mars frontman is dressed up as Kurt Cobain and perform two Nirvana songs to mark the 17th anniversary of the late singer's death.
30 Seconds to Mars frontman Jared Leto has filmed an eerie tribute to his musical hero Kurt Cobain to mark the 17th anniversary of the late Nirvana star's death. The rocker/actor has posted a video online of him performing Nirvana's "Pennyroyal Tea" and "Rape Me", dressed like Cobain.
Leto has also posted a tribute on his blog, explaining the bizarre video. He writes, "I heard today (April 5) was the day Kurt passed away 17 years ago. Can't believe it's been that long. So grateful for his contribution and inspiration. Not sure I'd be doing this if it weren't for him."
"I shot a short piece of film when I heard they were making a film celebrating his life. I made it to explore the character and explore creative possibilities. I never sent it to the studio or to anyone but thought I'd share it now."
Meanwhile, Cobain fans gathered at the tragic rocker's favorite park in his native Aberdeen, Washington on Tuesday (05Apr11) where a guitar statue was unveiled the honor the town's most famous son.

Career Management
Successful career development is more than doing a good job. Dressing for success, business writing skills, career networking – all are vitally important.
Business Management Daily's succinct, workplace-tested career advice is designed to help you position yourself to succeed in your chosen field.
Well, after many years
in the job, Michael Scott has left the office at Dunder Mifflin to
pursue other dreams. It remains to be seen how things are going to go
for the team with the new boss.
You may or may not be surprised how often I hear in my coaching work about senior level bosses who are basically clueless. The cluelessness can show up in different ways – time sucking, pointless requests that come out of left field; no clear direction; much more emphasis on bluster and style than on the substance of getting things done. The list could go on and on. (Feel free to add your own observations on what makes for a clueless boss in the comments.)
As I wrote hear a few months ago, leaders can change the weather. If you've got a boss who is foggy and cloudy in their approach, it's pretty easy for everyone on their team to show up foggy and cloudy. Obviously, that's a pretty dangerous career situation for everyone in that boss's organization. How do you help yourself and your team survive when you find yourself in a clueless boss induced fog bank?
Here are five things some of my savvy leadership coaching clients have done to survive a clueless boss:
Two former Dow Jones executives have launched a business that hires economically disadvantaged single mothers and provides them with child care coverage and career development training. The organization's founders call Moms and Jobs, or MoJo, "a social venture in a for-profit vehicle."
A 64-year-old receptionist in a Chicago doctor's office—we'll call her Jane—recently received an ultimatum: Do something about your thinning hair or be transferred to a job with less patient contact. Jane says, "I was absolutely devastated." How far would you go to stay competitive by improving your looks?

Dominant May rolls to another shutout
Phillies pitching prospect surrenders just two hits, fans nine
By David Heck / Special to MLB.com | August 10, 2011 8:17 PM ET
The Phillies' No. 4 prospect allowed two hits in a seven-inning shutout, striking out nine as Class A Advanced Clearwater defeated Tampa, 4-0, in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader.
"I was able to locate the fastball pretty well," May said. "We had a rainout yesterday, so I felt pretty fresh body-wise. The curveball was sharp, the change-up was really good today -- I felt like I had good movement and good control with it. I even mixed in a couple sliders that I'm working on. Overall, everything in my arsenal was pretty good."
A fourth-round pick in 2008, May has been dominant all year for the Threshers. He has posted a 3.22 ERA in 131 1/3 innings with 178 strikeouts -- a mark that is first in the Florida State League and second in the Minors overall. The next closest player in the FSL, teammate Julio Rodriguez, has fanned 126.
May has been particularly strong since the All-Star break, going 5-2 with a 2.83 ERA and two shutouts in 10 starts. He has whiffed 90 in his past 60 1/3 innings.
"My ability to get the fastball down in the zone has been imperative," May said. "I'm now able to get a lot more called strikes at the knees. I'm getting more called strikeouts than ever before.
"I also think during my career, my change-up has been underplayed. It's more of a weapon than people have given it credit for. It's something I can locate when I want to. I've gotten a lot of swings and misses on it in fastball counts. I feel like it's been a putaway pitch along with the curveball."
After starting the game off with a perfect first inning, May ran into a bit of trouble in the second. He issued a leadoff walk to Luke Murton, then yielded a two-out double to Cody Johnson to put runners on second and third. He was able escape the inning, however, by inducing a groundout off the bat of Jorge Alcantara.
"Sometimes they put a couple things together," May said. "I was cruising a little bit, and before I knew it, they had guys on second and third. I stayed with my gameplan, didn't think much about it and got the next guy to [ground out]."
The last hit May allowed came in the third, when Walter Ibarra doubled on a ground ball to center field. The 21-year-old right-hander went on to retire 13 of the final 14 batters he faced, with only Deangelo Mack reaching on a one-out throwing error by shortstop Troy Hanzawa in the seventh.
"I've thrown in Tampa's stadium quite a bit in my career," May said. "I almost felt like I was pitching at home. I located pitches early in counts, got ahead, and before I knew it, four innings had gone by."
Though he continues to stifle Class A Advanced competition, May said he had not heard anything about a promotion. He added that at this point, he doesn't think it matters too much.
"In my opinion, I'm probably going to be in Double-A to start next year either way," he said. "I could see it not happening simply because we just moved into first and we're in a playoff push. There are only four, maybe five, more starts in the regular season. It could be a get-your-feet-wet thing, or I could stay for the playoffs. Either way, I'm happy with this year and excited to build on it."
Clearwater went on to take the nightcap as well, rallying for three runs in the top of the seventh en route to a 6-5 win over the Yankees. Cyle Hankerd hit into a bases-loaded RBI groundout to tie the game, and Travis Mattair and Cesar Hernandez followed with a pair of run-scoring singles.
Tampa got one run back on an RBI single by Kyle Roller in the bottom of the inning, but relievers Jordan Whatcott and Andy Loomis struck out the final two batters to end the game.

Most gallery owners have offices tucked away at the back of their white-walled spaces. If a desk is near the entrance, it's often occupied by a self-conscious assistant or an administrator steeped in paperwork. Not so at Chinatown's Jancar Gallery. The big desk is right there on your left as soon as you walk in, and it's usually occupied by Tom Jancar himself. He'll make it a point to hand you an image list, even if he's on the phone or with a collector. Express interest in an exhibition and he'll engage you wholeheartedly, telling you quirky backstories about the artist or pulling out art books for you to page through. The man's been deep into visual art for decades, but he's managed to evade the wariness and pretension that seem to come with the territory in favor of infectious, utopian enthusiasm. 961 Chung King Road, Chinatown.

Leave the appletinis and gossip to the Sex and the City gals — this ladies' night is more about IPAs and home-brewing tips. Every third Wednesday of the month gals are invited to Eagle Rock Brewery for the Women's Beer Forum, to taste, learn about and discuss rare and delicious craft beers. You need not be a microbrew enthusiast to attend. The event is as much for the beer-curious as it is for aficionados. Venue co-owner Ting Su founded the forum last March, in part to educate ladies about beer in a space that feels less judgmental than, say, that sketchy dive bar on your block. It draws a diverse crowd, and serves as a rare opportunity for suds-minded women in L.A. to meet each other and make new friends. There's nothing but beer on the agenda, but, sorry fellas — no boys allowed. 3056 Roswell St., Atwater Village. (323) 257-7866, eaglerockbrewery.com.

Harsh morning sunlight bouncing off unforgiving concrete makes Hollywood hangovers a little bit crueler than the rest. Escape your unfortunate present by hauling your half-drunk ass up the El Capitan Theater steps to a 1920s movie palace balcony — a creature all but extinct — and into a Hollywood past preserved in amber. Leave the world of screaming kids and half-remembered regrets far below as you ascend ever closer to the ornate East Indian ceiling that speaks to a bygone exoticism and never judges you. Nurse your heavy head in the cool darkness as the dulcet tones of the Mighty Wurlitzer waft their way up to you before the curtains part and you drift off into a hazy past when seeing a movie was A Big Deal. Time your visit for those in-between weeks and you're rewarded with an old hand-drawn animated classic lovingly crafted by Disney's Nine Old Men. Hydrate well from your lofty vantage point, and by the time you are awoken from your reverie and re-enter the bright world of the present, you'll feel better about the town you decided to call home. Forget your troubles, and come get Dopey. 6838 Hollywood Blvd., Hlywd. (818) 845-3110, elcapitan.go.com.

Although the Museum of Neon Art is moving to Glendale, its incredibly fun downtown bus tours continue. Start out with a little social and liquid lubrication, aka drinks and appetizers, before climbing onto an open-top double-decker bus to cruise the streets of L.A. for two hours in search of the city's best neon art. Well-versed docents help you discover both the history of neon and Los Angeles as seen through its old neon signs. Akin to the L.A. Conservancy in its efforts, the museum's mission statement proclaims that it "encourages learning and curiosity through the preservation, collection and interpretation of neon art." Judging by its blast of a bus tour, it's fulfilling that mission. Visit its website for an entertainingly informative explanation of how neon really works. (Yes, I'm a geek.) 136 W. Fourth St., dwntwn.; neonmona.org.

I am always amazed at how many people don't seem to know about the Craft and Folk Art Museum. With a fascinating history — it began in 1965 as The Egg and The Eye, an avant-garde café and shop — and a forward-thinking philosophy, this incredibly intimate gem of a museum was capturing the beauty and artistic integrity of the functional and international before anyone either promoted or protested the ideals of globalization. From Joseph Cornell's shadow boxes to a just-closed show of Jennifer Angus' extraordinary insect installations, this tiny museum, which feels like an uber-hip New York art gallery, presents some of the most expertly curated shows around. With affordable craft classes for both children and adults, this is one museum you owe it to yourself to visit and join. 5814 Wilshire Blvd., Miracle Mile. (323) 937-4230, cafam.org.

Sure, you've let your children blow off steam running through the outside spray fountains. And I know you've explored the interactive exhibits about bugs. But did you know you also can barter some of those curious seedpods and snakeskins you found on your last hike? Kidspace Museum's Nature Exchange allows you to trade your wild discoveries for other natural treasures such as polished minerals, shells and fossils. You are allowed to bring in three items at a time, and points are given based on both the item's rarity and your child's ability to explain it. The more research you've done together — they even have field guides there to help you look up all your finds — the better. By the way, ask me the history of ginkgo trees. 480 N. Arroyo Blvd., Pasadena. (626) 449-9144, kidspacemuseum.org.

Veronica Mars
Ok I may be a lit biased because I met Kristen Bell last week at a charity event, but hey I watched Veronica Mars way before that! At first glance, you'd think... what?!? Veronica Mars? A CW show? A high school show? It's not a LOST or a Heroes TV show, but this actually got me engaged throughout the season with an interesting storyline, character development, and an unique approach.
While all the seasons of LOST are phenomenal, season one has a polar bear in it giving me a certain bias.Added 8 Years Ago from Amazon.com
How can you not get LOST? I love the premise and the island keeps getting creepier and creepier and ... well, I don't want to give anything away, but I do need the dvds so I can keep up with the new season. Can't Wait!Added 9 Years Ago from Amazon.com
In my opinion Jeremy Brett IS Sherlock Holmes. I just revisited this series which I haven't seen in over 20 years. Its soooooo good! I'm addicted and planning to buy this boxed set as a Christmas gift to myself.
One of the best crime dramas on TV, this is an excellent program that anyone who likes Law & Order will love!Tags: gifts, drama, tv, crime, crime drama, series, police, mystery, law & orderAdded 9 Years Ago from Amazon.com

Peege is a 1973 American award-winning short student film, written and directed by Randal Kleiser, about a family's visit to an elderly relative in a nursing home. The film was named to the National Film Registry by the Librarian of Congress in December 2007.[1][2]
An elderly woman, nicknamed "Peege" and played by Jeanette Nolan, lives in a nursing home where she is suffering from blindness and ailing mental faculties. Her family makes regular visits to her every Christmas, but her poor health makes these occasions awkward for everyone else. The conversation is awkward, because most of the family treat Peege in a condescending fashion and talk about their own successes. As the family goes to leave, one of the grandsons (Bruce Davison) remains behind briefly. He recounts to his grandmother that when he was a young boy her laugh would "always make [him] happy",[3] before tearfully departing, unaware if he has communicated with her. After his exit, the camera lingers on her face and her expression subtly shows he was successful.[3]
After graduating from University of Southern California, Kleiser had struggled creatively while making educational films, and at the behest of his father he returned to college to earn his Master's degree.[4] In the film he originally planned as his thesis, a Los Angeles theater company puts on an experimental play about a time traveller. However, he had intended to supplement the picture with special effects, but if he did so the consequent budget would be $5,000 more than he could afford; he would only be able to complete it by renting equipment from USC and ceding the copyright to them.[4] Unwilling to lose ownership of his movie, he instead followed the advice of producer Curtis Harrington, who suggested he abandon the project in favor of a more personal and intimate subject.[4] He chose to write about his own family's visits to his grandmother, also nicknamed "Peege", when she was in a nursing home in Pennsylvania. Each trip found her in poorer health, to the point where, according to Kleiser, he "dreaded visiting". The family's final journey to see her served as the inspiration for the script.[4]
There were no problems during shooting, and indeed the production enjoyed more than its share of good fortune. Producer David Knapp was also working on a CBS television movie at the same time (Steven Spielberg's Something Evil), and since that film had wrapped ahead of schedule, the Peege crew were able to get access to the studio offices for the remaining two weeks of the lease without any cost.[4] Next door to those offices was the studio for the television series Gunsmoke, and Jeanette Nolan, a guest-star on the show, was approached to play the role of the grandmother.[4] Lead actor Bruce Davison had enjoyed recent success as the star of The Strawberry Statement and Willard, but liked the script enough that he agreed to participate for only the Screen Actors Guild statutory minimum wage, and a small share of any profits.[4]
Prior to its inclusion in the National Film Registry Peege had already won several awards, including a Chris Award at the Columbus Film Festival, the top honor at the National Council on Family Relations Film Competition, a Media & Methods Recommended Citation: Maxi Award, and a TEAM Film Award for the Best Film in Family Counseling.[3]

CAMPAIGNERS accused the Government of 'missing an opportunity' over their 'gutless' crackdown on young drivers.
The Wasted Lives campaign, which aimed to end the carnage of on the roads, received the support of thousands of people, including the family of Matthew Hannon.
Matthew, 22, died in January 2006 when he crashed his car while racing a friend in Livesey Branch Road, Blackburn.
His parents Terry and Ann have backed our campaign from the outset believing it would help prevent other families experiencing what they did.
Terry Hannon said he was extremely disappointed by the Government's announcement.
He said: "Bringing in changes to the way young people learn to drive was so important but this feels like a real missed opportunity.
"The biggest problem is that young people can pass their test with no experience and go out and buy a car which is far too powerful for them to handle.
"The number of hours a driver has completed on the road should be set before they are allowed to pass their test to allow them to build up experience.
"Young drivers must be banned from driving powerful cars. Matthew was killed driving a powerful car because he was not experienced enough to handle it."
Greg Pope, MP for Hyndburn and Haslingden, a supporter of the Telegraph campaign, said the Government had a 'level of caution' in the desire to crack down on young drivers.
He said: "To do something about the carnage on our roads requires brave action but I have to say these recommendations are gutless.
"They haven't listened fully. This is a missed opportunity.
"A lot of people would have preferred more drastic action.
"Other groups of people like the Transport Select Committee made recommendations that were very much in line with it.
"This year there will be grieving parents because more people will be killed on the roads.
"In politics you have to take tough decisions that are right, and it's very disappointing they have not done this."
Labour MP Louise Ellman, chairman of the House of Commons Transport Committee, welcomed the report but added "more must be done to reduce the carnage among novice drivers."

It explores the ways in which the evolving scholarship on 19th century history of slavery, race and empire has altered the place of Bronte's novel in its moment of production—the embattled 1840's—and made its narrative and figurative strategies—which can now be seen as embedded in that history—a political battleground.

"Edward Pugh and Richard Wilson at Carreg Carn March Arthur" Lecture by Professor Barrell, a Fellow of the British Academy and of the English Association, an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters of the University of Chicago, and an honorary D.Litt, Courtauld Institute of Art, University of London. His subject is Richard Wilson (1714-1782), once known as the father of British landscape painting and regarded at the end of the eighteenth century as the greatest landscape-painter Britain had produced. He was related to many of the leading gentry families in North-East Wales. Edward Pugh (1763-1813) was the son of a country barber, a self-taught portrait-painter and landscape-artist. He and Wilson never met; but their careers somehow converged in 1794 at a point on the county line between Flintshire and Denbighshire. This paper is about that convergence, and some of the issues raised by the representation of the landscape of 'Romantic Wales.'

These questions launched a decade-long investigation into the history of the Anglophone couplet; this project forms a partial answer that is both a demonstration of scholarly practice and one elegant proof of its value.

The Jazz were without two of their most veteran players Friday, when Paul Millsap and Jamaal Tinsley missed the game against Oklahoma City at EnergySolutions Arena.
Millsap left Friday to attend the funeral of his grandmother in Atlanta, while Tinsley was away for undisclosed personal reasons. Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin said he hoped both would rejoin the Jazz during the team's three-game, five-day trip to Los Angeles, which starts Saturday against the Lakers at Staples Center.
Millsap's absence opened up the starting role for at least one night for Derrick Favors, the 21-year-old former lottery pick whom many Jazz fans have clamored to see with the first five.
"Derrick is a big part of what we do," Corbin said. "All the guys are going to play; whether they start or don't start, they're important to what we're doing."
Until Earl Watson, who is rehabilitating from April knee surgery, and Tinsley return, combo guards Randy Foye and Alec Burks are expected to spend more time at point guard.
New guys debut
Marvin Williams, Mo Williams and Foye on Friday made their EnergySolutions Arena debuts as members of the Jazz.
All were well familiar with Salt Lake City before the Jazz added them to the roster through trades and free agency. Mo Williams, who started at point guard, spent the 2003-04 season with the Jazz after they drafted him in the second round, while Marvin Williams and Foye played plenty of games here.
"Coming to Utah has always been very difficult," Marvin Williams said. "In my seven years in Atlanta, we always tried to really prepare to get a win here but I don't know how many times we've actually done it."
In fact, all three of the newcomers struggled at the home of the Jazz. Marvin Williams was 2-4 as an opponent, Mo Williams was 2-7, and Foye was 2-8.
The Maynor event
Oklahoma City guard Eric Maynor returned to Salt Lake City on Friday. The only player on the Thunder roster with Jazz ties, Maynor was drafted by Utah in 2009 but was traded before the end of the calendar year to the Thunder.
Maynor missed all of last season with a knee injury and appeared be fully healed going into this season. However, Maynor seems to have moved down the Thunder depth chart, after coach Scott Brooks gave the majority of the backup point guard minutes to second-year player Reggie Jackson in the Thunder's preseason-opening loss at Houston.

Fosnaught hopes to contend for Lernerville title
Bairdford's Jimmy Fosnaught hopes that the black-cloud days are behind him and that last Friday was just an aberration. That way he can get on with contending for Lernerville Speedway's Sportsman Stock championship.
With less than one lap to go before scoring his second career Lernerville victory, Fosnaught was caught up in an accident when a lapped car spun in Turn 2. Fosnaught couldn't avoid the mess and lost his lead. To make matters worse, on the subsequent restart, Fosnaught was caught up in another accident that knocked him out of the race.
"I just couldn't believe it," Fosnaught said. "I ran the perfect race and had a straightaway lead. That was my race. I just think that rule needs to be changed because the yellow should have already been out and I had nowhere to go. The car was damaged pretty well on the second accident, and I had to borrow some parts. I'll be back. It may not be perfect, but I will be back."
Fosnaught thought that last season had exorcised the trouble that plagued him on a regular basis. He finished second in points behind Corey McPherson, he won his first race, and, more importantly, he finished just about every feature with a top-five finish. Twelve to be exact.
McPherson and Fosnaught were the two contenders for last season's Stock championship, but McPherson wound up with a 39-point advantage. That was thanks to five victories to one for Fosnaught and eight heat race victories to three for Fosnaught. Heat races should not be overlooked because those points add up. McPherson scored 80 points for his heat victories to Fosnaught's 30 points.
"I think a lot of that had to deal with pill pulls," Fosnaught said. "I had a lot of bad numbers and had to work my way through the field. I actually made every race through the heat race and into the pill draw except for one, and that night they docked me two positions after they said I jumped the start.
"But really, Corey was good all season. But he did have a lot of good numbers and starting positions, and that means a lot in the heats races. The year before Mike Miller, who won the championship, won the most heats. So they definitely help. I think we were ready to go right away off the truck, no matter if the track was slick or tacky. I think a lot more of that had to do with Corey."
Fosnaught has made some substantial changes to his car the past two seasons, and it's helped him become more consistent.
"I really think a lot of it was just how the car handled rather than me being so much better," said Fosnaught, now in his eighth season. "Chris Schneider built a new rear end for us, and we did an all-new front suspension.
"We always ran a 406 engine, but this is the first year we have gone to the 358. We were supposed to go to that at the beginning of last year, but it wasn't done. Plus, we were running so well that I told my engine builder, Mike Ingraham, that as long as the 406 stayed together we would run that and then we'd make the change for this year."
There are differences between the two engines, and it will take a few weeks for Fosnaught to acclimate himself to the change, but there really should not be any glaring issues.
"The 358 has less torque and more horsepower," Fosnaught said. "Honestly I don't know yet where the difference will be on tracks because I have run it on a slick track and a tacky track, and it is fast on both. The old engine was really torquey, and you had to work the throttle. With this one I don't have to do that. It's easier with this one; I don't seem to spin the tires."

Micrel, Inc., named in stories by The New York Times and Tax Analysts about assertions of improper insider influence at the IRS, has issued a press release denying aspects of the story.
From the press release:
"There was never a closing agreement between the IRS and Micrel, as the article implies. Micrel cooperated fully with the IRS during an audit of the company that lasted 18 months and was completed in July of this year," added Mr. Zinn. "While the false statements in the article are almost too numerous to mention, Micrel has an obligation to its shareholders to correct the record. In particular, at no time was there ever a proposed deal to escape any tax obligation of the Company, nor did we ever have an estimated tax bill of $58 million. Moreover, Micrel and the IRS never cooperated to keep Micrel's shareholders uniformed on some basic terms of its stock-option plan as the article asserts. In addition, there is absolutely no truth to the allegations that the stock option feature in question enriched the Company's four top executives by as much as $20 million or that Micrel ran its stock-option plan in violation of the law," Mr. Zinn stated.
Those of us who follow politics too closely probably tend to read too much into these things. The statement "In particular, at no time was there ever a proposed deal to escape any tax obligation of the Company..." could contain multitudes. If you dispute the legitimacy of an asserted tax, you aren't "escaping" it if there is never an assessment.
Saying that "there is no truth" in an allegation that the plan enriched executives by "as much as $20 million" leaves open the possibility that they were enriched by,say, $19.95 million.
The Micrel release adds "...nor did we ever have an estimated tax bill of $58 million." The source for the $58 million figure appears to be Micrel's pleadings in its own malpractice lawsuit related to the stock-option issue. Tax Analysts article mentions the $58 million number here:
Based on its projections, Micrel claims that revamping the 30DPM as a nonqualified disposition could ''total in excess of $52 million dollars and may eventually total as much as $58.6 million. The pricing differential alone exceeds $12 million in cash, as well as equity, lost to Micrel and is also a direct and proximate result of the incorrect advice given to Micrel by defendants.''
In short, he $58 million figure is the cost of "revamping" the stock option program, not the cost of the tax bill, as the Times article would lead one to believe.
Overall, the Micrel release attacks specific numbers used in the stories without necessarily debunking the stories themselves.
The Micrel press release goes on to illustrate how taxpayer confidentiality rules can keep a veil over the truth or falsehood of the allegations:
"Unfortunately, we are precluded from debating the specifics of the Times' assertions by an overriding concern for the privacy of our employees and the confidentiality of personal information," explained Mr. Zinn. "However, neither can we remain silent after the New York Times has used the uncorroborated statements of one individual to cast Micrel in a negative light and therefore felt obligated to come forth with this public statement."
The Micrel statements may be true, but, as they point out, there is no way to verify them in light of taxpayer confidentiality rules. As a practical matter, we suspect that the information could be sanitized by the company before release while still protecting employee confidentiality - at least other than the "four top executives" mentioned in the release. The executives could waive confidentiality, but they apparently choose not to do so. This reliance on privacy provisions by a public company seems incongrous, but is perfectly legitimate under the tax laws.
In a way, it is interesting that Micrel finds the stories cast it "in a negative light." In a coldly rational world, one would expect a firm to do all in its power to avoid unnecessary taxes. Shareholders like not paying taxes. Micrel is apparently sensitive to perceptions; there must still be social pressure to be a "good" corporate citizen, or to at least to be seen as one.

i have been using this powder for years now. i am a NC42 but have to use NC45 (bit dark but passable) and NC40 (bit light but ok to set my foundation). its so beautiful. i just wish they did a colour in between. Its such a huge colour jump. ive always stuck with this powder as it is sheer, doesnt change the colour of my foundation, is a lovely matte finish and isn't cakey. it also lasts a long time on my oily skin. the product is finely milled so looks very natural. Will definitely re purchase.

I am not really into pressed powders for coverage because my skin is really dry. I use this to set my MAC Face and Body foundation and it gives me the most beautiful "lit from within glow". it helps the foundation last all day and doesn't make it look dry, cakey, or flaky but gives a TOUCH of extra coverage.
it does exactly what it says it does. "sheer pressed powder"
I would definitely repurchase, this is my second compact I might try other powders because I get bored but I'll always come back.
I am considered a MAC NC40 and use F&B in C4 and this powder in NC35 because when this was recommended to me the SA said it oxidized (I don't really notice if it does)

This powder sets my foundation flawlessly. It really sheer and it does not make your face caking My HG setting powder for my medium to full coverage foundations. But u need to reapply after about 4 hours.

If you get the proper color match for you, this looks nice dusted over foundation. It's a good setting powder. It doesn't give you the coverage of a powder foundation such as MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus, but deposits a little color. However, it doesn't control shine like Blot Powder, and that's why I'd rather have translucent Blot Powder. If you don't have oily skin, this might work for you.

I have this powder for more than a year now. It doesn't do something extraordinary but it's lightweight with a little color in it sets makeup beautifully and doesn't break me out. It doesn't stay for long neither control my oilier zones that well but it's still a descent enough product

I liked how this powder is not cakey, natural looking and the colour is great. Doesn't stay on that long though and doesn't really make my skin feel silky smooth. Hence, one lippie off. The price is expensive for what it does, therefore, will not buy again.

This is a really good powder. If you have oily skin, have bad acne scars or want a flawless finish, then this is your go to powder. I'm NC45 for ref.
I don't use this in my morning makeup routine because I think this provides too much coverage even if I'm using my tinted moisturizer. This is really good to touch up on afternoons when my foundation begins to break down. This helps to make my face appear less oily and fresh. It is a bit creamy for a powder and it clings to the skin instead of looking powdery.
I like how the shade matches nicely with my skin. It does not look white, red or yellow. I prefer a light hand with this as it may look cakey and settle into lines. When this powder is paired with the Studio Fix, I get an orange oxidized look at the end of the day. There is no such issue when I use this powder by itself and with other foundations,
This is the most coverage I've experienced with a powder. This is some heavy duty stuff. I even use this to blend out my eyeshadow sometimes. If you're not into the heavy coverage or have dry skin may be you should try another powder.
I prefer to go with sheer to medium coverage makeup but I like having this for variety, in case of an emergency, for formal occasions and pictures.
If you're a makeup fan like me, this is a must have. I really think this is a useful powder that would never go to waste and serves too many functions for me to be without it.

I really love this powder. It's sheer and hold oil at bay. I'm not a huge pressed powder fan but this is one of the best pressed powders I've found.

I recently broke my Blot powder, which I liked for controlling oil, but didn't like the finish. So, I decided to try a different powder. I read a lot of reviews for different powders and decided to go with this one. I ordered it online and just chose the same color that I am in the Studio Fix powder..so I was taking a gamble. When I received it I was really impressed! The color matched perfectly, it was really silky, I loved the finish it gave, it controlled oil, and it didn't break me out. I never like to break makeup..but in this case I was fine with it, because I actually like this powder better than Blot. I will repurchase.

I usually wear BareMineral's Ready Touch up Veil in Transulcent as setting powder in the mornings after foundation or BB-cream application and then apply again 2 times a day for shine and oil control.
Now, I wanted to test something new and also with colour to match my Summer tan skin. Since I seldom use foundation or BB-cream during Summer time, I also wanted something with a sheer coverage.
In the Winter time I'm normally an NC20. For this powder I choose NC40. The saleswoman first suggested a quite dark NW (red based) colour. That one matched my tanned skin tone perfectly. However, with a reddish bronzing powder also applied it looked better with a slightly lighter NC (yellow based) colour. I also think it will last longer. I'm back at work now and in three weeks time I will turn grey again;)
The mattifying quality is about the same as the BM powder. Could be better and if it was only for this I would give the Sheer Select Pressed Powder only 4 points. But...
To my surprise it also helped minimizing my pores and it gave me the best sheer coverage and flawless finish ever! For that I give it 5 points!
No problem with spending 260 SEK on this excellent powder.
Plus for mirror and buff in the package. However, I use a brush for application in the mornings.
I will probably buy a lighter colour of this in the Autumn and skip foundation and BB-cream from now on. A primer and this powder on top will be enough.

Last week, Gov. Peter Shumlin wrote to U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, establishing his firm opposition to the potential piping of tar sands oil through the Portland-Montreal Pipeline, which passes through the northeast corner of Vermont.
Shumlin asked Kerry to require a new presidential permit and a federal Environmental Impact Statement — in the event the Portland Pipe Line Corp. sought to reverse the flow of its line to pump tar sands oil from Montreal to Portland.
The secretary of state has authority over presidential permits for cross-border pipelines that pump liquids, and an Environmental Impact Statement is the result of a survey for a project "significantly affecting the quality of the human environment."
Portland Pipe Line presently has no contracts to pump tar sands oil, but its CEO has repeatedly said that the company is very interested in the proposition.
Shumlin has said in the past he does not support the flow of tar sands oil through Vermont, and now he is actively advocating against this potential project.
"My opposition to the transport of tar sands oil through the reversed PMPL is based upon the impacts of such a project in Vermont and concerns for Vermont's economy, environment, and natural resources in the event of a spill," Shumlin wrote. "I am also worried about the potential climate change impacts associated with the extraction and burning of tar sands from western Canada."
In the letter, Shumlin also asserted the state's land-use authority over the pipeline. In a jurisdictional opinion, Act 250 land-use coordinator Kirsten Sultan wrote that if Portland Pipe Line wants to pump oil from Alberta's tar sands region through Vermont, the company would need an Act 250 permit. The company has appealed, arguing that the decision to apply the state's governing land-use law to this prospective project was based on "misleading" information.
Although the appeal process is in its nascent stages, Shumlin wrote that he is adamant Vermont have environmental regulatory power over the project.
"While the company challenges Vermont's law, I believe state oversight regarding environmental and other impacts within our borders is critical, and I am committed to the State of Vermont having oversight regarding such a project within our borders," he wrote.

"Traffic Warning - Waikato - Waikato"
Waikato Police are asking drivers to defer all but essential travel as the present weather system tracks through the region.
There are areas of surface flooding on SH1 through Huntly and Ngaruawahia and heavy rain has caused potholes to appear on SH2 near the Pink Pig at Maramarua and also north of Waihi.
Several cars are reported to have sustained damage. Motorists who must travel are asked to drive to the conditions and take extra care.
They should also check present road closures on the NZTA website.

Any half-serious cyclist should, at least once in his or her life, take an early morning ride through the French countryside, then follow it up with a spinach, fig and warm bacon salad in the ancient town of Carpentras. If the mighty Tour de France rolls past, well, that's a bonus.
One cycling trip that begins in Carpentras this July drops participants in and out of the Tour during its final 11 days. Cadence Tours takes you from Provence and the Pyrenees to Paris, where you'll watch the peloton end its 3656-kilometre journey across four countries.
Other up close Tour moments include viewing a stage start, a stage finish and a hill stage. There's riding every day, including on some Tour routes before the roads close in preparation for the peloton's arrival in town.
If you're feeling worthy of the polka dot jersey, you can take on some killer Pyrenean mountain passes, such as Col du Tourmalet, Peyresourde, Aubisque and Soulor. It's what the pros call a day at the office.
When in Carpentras, the thing to do is rise early, have some eggs and coffee and hop on a handsome Italian-made Casati bike. Then, with 10 or so enthusiastic and fit fellow cyclists, head up the 1900-metre Mont Ventoux.
If you find yourself weary after that, the town's celebrated truffles and a glass of Amidyves Cotes du Ventoux red will help. The winter weekly black truffle market is worth making a return trip for, sans cycle.

EL MONTE - There will be no deep run for the Arcadia High School girls basketball team this season in the Arroyo Tournament.
A year after reaching the semifinals before falling to eventual champion Bishop Amat, the Apaches bowed out in the second round on Wednesday night after a 49-44 loss to Notre Dame.
The loss was Arcadia's first of the season and sent the Apaches to 5-1.
Notre Dame improved to 6-1. The Knights did it behind some timely 3-point shooting in the second half.
Dru Ishibashi hit 3-pointers on back-to-back possessions in the middle of the fourth quarter to give her team a small cushion that it would not relinquish down the stretch despite numerous attempts by Arcadia.
"We were focusing on Katherine Wright, she's their best player, but our girls seem to forget that if you keep taking shot, you're going to make them," Arcadia head coach Don Young said. "And too their credit, their girls hit some big shots."
After Ishibashi made it 41-37 with just over three minutes to play, Arcadia answered with a put back by Julissa Aguirre. Following two free throws by the Knights, Arcadia found itself down by four again momentarily until Christina Huynh found Aguirre for a banker to close to within two.
The Apaches had the ball right back following with a turnover, but the game turned on a steal by Notre Dame's Donatella Asemota, who cashed in her big play with a breakaway lay up with 48 seconds to play.
Still, the Apaches would not go away. Melody Chang drove the lane, hit the basket and got fouled. She made the free throw to get the Apaches to within 45-44 with 29 seconds left.
Notre Dame made one free throw after the Apaches were forced to foul and Chang soon found herself back at the line and her team down 47-44 with 12 seconds to play. Chang missed the front end of her attempts and Notre Dame was able to salt the game away at the line.
"Today was probably her worst game of the year, shooting-wise, and we were still in the game," Young said of Chang. "She's been on fire. Everyone's going to focus on Melody, and until the other girls take it upon themselves to play better individually, we're going to struggle when they play us like that.
Chang led Arcadia with 19 points. Caira Benton added 15 points, 11 rebounds and four steals. Aguirre finished with eight points and 14 rebounds.
Arcadia found itself down 12-6 after one quarter, and in a grinder like Wednesday, a six-point lead was tough to overcome. Benton's aggressive play fueled an Arcadia run in the second her banker with just over a minute before halftime gave Arcadia its first lead at 23-22. The game was tied 24-24 at halftime.
Another basket by Benton gave Arcadia its final lead of the game at 26-24.
Notre Dame, as it did all night when threatened, retreated to behind the arc and hit two 3-pointers to eventually lead 35-33 going to the fourth.
"Basketball is a game of runs, and they had that first run on us and I don't think we ever recovered," Young said. "We'll keep working at it.
We've got one loss and it wasn't a bad loss. This will make the girls a little bit hungry again and we'll get back to work at it."

Reviews for Leftover Turkey Tetrazzini
Average Rating
"I left out the mozzarella and topped with bread crumbs and added more parmesean cheese. Delish!"
"I have another Tetrazzini recipe that I cut out of Taste of Home YEARS ago that was good, but not great. It's like someone took that old recipe, revamped it and this was the result. This was SO much creamier and more flavorful - and it was even better the next day. I was skeptical about not mixing the pasta with the sauce before putting it in the oven, but it turned out perfect. I thought it needed some color, so I took a large red bell pepper and "roasted" it over an open flame, wiped off the charred skin, chopped it up and added it to the sauce. I think it worked out very well. I also used 8 oz. of mushrooms just because I love them. This is definitely a keeper. So glad I ran across it!"
"I substituted cream of mushroom with Cream of Onion. We though it had good flavor."
"This turned out delicious!!! Full of flavor and just the right amount of sauce! I will make this every year after Thanksgiving. I only had regular spaghetti on hand and I broiled at the end for a minute. I had seconds it was so yummy!"
"I made this recipe for dinner tonight. I followed the recipe exactly except I added an extra cup of mushrooms. My husband who is not a big fan of new dishes had three servings! A guest and myself both gave it a thumbs up. I used turkey I had frozen from another dinner. Almost all the other ingredients are ones I usually have on hand."
"Not very flavorful."
"I added garlic and steamed broccoli however it was dry. Next time I will double liquid. It has a good flavor!"
"A nice comfort food meal. I loved the flavor, it wasn't too saucy, which has turned me off of tetrazzini before. Also, a very quick meal to get to the table! We will be making this again to use up Thanksgiving leftover!!!"
"Very nice flavor. I used portabella mushrooms and asiago cheese instead of the parmesan."
"Made this today and found it okay, not great. But, with some changes it would be much better. For more flavor I'd increase the poultry seasoning, add some heat with chili flakes, add some sliced black olives and artichoke hearts. That should do it!"
"Didn't have mushrooms so I used a couple cups frozen spinach instead....excellent!"
"Decided to try this with our left over Thanksgiving turkey. It was easy and delicious. Two minor changes that I made were adding 1 cup of celery (sauteed with mushrooms and onion) and I used Fettuccine instead of spaghetti. Will definitely make again."
"This was great. Not too complicated or time-consuming. Very tasty."
"Made it last week and everyone enjoyed it. Great way to use turkey leftovers."
"I added cooked frozen broccoli, & green peppers instead of the mushrooms & a layer of stuffing. My entire family loved it."
"This recipe was good but a little dry. I used extra milk when I reheated the leftovers and it was much better"
